Pasadena is a good one. There's usually something to find there each month and it's a record swap ta' boot.

Both LB and Melrose are hit and miss. Some months you can hit it right on, others... Long Beach use to be fantastic too. Then this thing called the interweb came about and all went to hell. I feel Rose Bowl is the same. Not much change month to month there.

The Groves... Never been. Gotta check er' out. Thanks Funks

 

Melrose trading post? Is that the one at fair fax high? Never seen anything decent there.

 

Yep!

I found a couple of vintage patio chairs the wife and I picked up for like $20. But that was about it...

 

i checked out the Vintage Antique Market in Orange County last Sunday.. lots of cool older vintage stuff (obviously) not too much in the toy department.. as expected... but i did score some of bootleg 16" Shogun Warrior Dragun for $10... so not bad..

i'd definitely like to go there again if i owned a home.. lots of awesome decor.. antique crates.. bottles.. chests.. fun stuff

 

everytime I go home I make sure i hit up Kobey's Swap Meet
No toys but still fun to people watch

 

yeah was there today for kicks.. cause someone said they saw jumbos there from a guy who only sells on Saturdays.. pretty dissapointed.. i thought i'd find something i did not have..

 

I wish I was in town to check this out.... Night Market in Pasadina When: Saturday / April 14, 2012 / 5PM - 12AM

 

is this an annual thing? sounds pretty fun.

 

Looks like it will be the first time they are doing this. Also seems like they would like it to be a monthly thing. Anyways, i'll most likely check it out. Let me know if anyone else is thinking of going.

 

^^^^^^^

I think I might be able to make this. Looks like it might be interesting and fun.

 

That's a 5 minute drive for me.....I'll probably be there. We should set up a table of bootleg crap......so it will be an authentic Asian night market.

 

I'll be going to Rose Bowl flea market this Sunday. I know 666doll will be there too. Anyone else going?

Also, my girlfriend will be selling women's vintage clothing there at space #3202. So bring your lady friends if you are planning to go.

 

arg!! can't this time around. do you guys go every month?? gonna shoot for april...i hope.

 

I might go again in April.

 

Sounds Rad! I've never been and would enjoy hanging with you, John and your hottie of a gf! We can model the clothes to attract passers by as only bearded men in vintage womens clothes can

 

you had me at "We"

 

How do I join this exclusive beard club?

 

I'll be at Rose Bowl this time. Maybe I'll see you there.

 

i will be hitting up the Long Beach Antique Market next Sunday... for those considering checking it out..

 

Anyways, to those who are going to Rose Bowl this Sunday, fell free to hit me up and we can meet up. 626-379-6440

 

Do they still have those garlic fries?

 

I believe they still do good sir!

 

It was nice seeing you guys at the Rose Bowl today. Carl, you should have joined us for Burger and pie. It was pretty delicious.
