I decided to go at the last minute and it was too late to get in touch with any TCers by then. I just hoped I'd run into you!

I got there at about 9:30. There was this ceramic fish that you are supposed to hang on the wall and you can put cut flowers in it. It was very fifties and cute. The lady said, 'They are going on ebay for $125.00, so I think $70.00 is fair. I just gave her a blank look and kept walking. This sort of ebay hubris was everywhere.

I noticed that the booths immediately surrounding the Rose Bowl (the tunnel access areas) had vendors selling mostly new things and I got some cool stuff for dirt cheap. Once I moved to the parking lot next to the Rose Bowl, I saw all the one-of-a-kind vintage stuff and had a blast looking through acres of it. But I have to say that the vintage section didn't seem to be bargain city!
