Best Buy Recap

I worked for Best Buy on 21st south back in 2004 - 2006. I saw a bunch of jazz players come in. Hornacek signed some stuff for me.

I remember saying stuff regularly about jazz players I saw at best buy. And then there was some sass about it. I didnt follow all of the posts but thought it was pretty silly that whatever was said about best buy became a joke.

And then the best buy legend kept going.
 
I am sure amongst the best buy posts I made there was additional fuel to the fire. But honestly I dont think i read the posts that made best buy legendary.

I think it was the collective more than a singular post. People just not believing one thing or another and multiple best buy jazz sitings and conjecture.
 
I can’t vouch for the 2005 story since from February 2004 to February 2006 I was on my JFC sabbatical for my LDS mission, though still lurked occasionally. Really wish the board hadn’t crashed so I could go see if I ever posted over that span. Anyway, I remembered a second story in spring/summer of 2006 where someone else had seen Memo buying a TV at Best Buy. If I’m recalling, I think it was an amalgam of 2-3 legitimate (or at least purported to be legitimate and not meme stories) that all had a Best Buy connection that then turned it into the running meme.

There have been some good JazzFanzisms over the years but none has stood the test of time like Best Buy. Some notables:
