Well, I was planning on being there early, cash in hand, ready to buy a tube amp from someone. However, it looks like that's not going to happen. A sizable check was supposed to make it's way to me by today, and it didn't. So now, even if comes tomorrow, by the time I get it and deposit it, it'll be at least 11:00, and I'll be out there by noon at the earliest.
I'm afraid by then all the good stuff will be gone. What do you think? Is there any reason to go by that point, or did I miss out?
Ugh, I'm so disgusted. I've been looking forward to this for months.
I'd say look for the guy in the tie-dye, but I can't find the shirt. I'll be wearing my goofy fisherman's hat instead. Its the hat I wear when boating to keep my balding fat head from burning due to daystar exposure.
I knew I should have worn that fluorescent orange shirt! Next time!
I came home with a few beautiful restored radios, a Marantz 2216B, some KLH Sixes in need of much love, Three Altec Eqs, and a Bogen Challenger. I'm thinking of having the Bogen made into a guitar amp.

Yes, moving the auction to Friday was to try and keep vendors up and running later on Saturday, which worked, to a certain extent. Flea market was a ghost town by 12:45 or so, a little later than usual. I guess it will be a few more meets before there's a significant change in the collective mind-set.
