^ I was playing it safe last year. I wasn't expecting for everything at the tables to require just singles. The most I spent on was my picture with John Stamos.
Last year was my first year going! I had a blast .. and got some amazing stuff!
But if it's in the Roseland Ballroom again, ugh .. it will suck. It was way too hot.
The year I went (it was maybe 3 years ago) Tyne Daly had a table set up and she was selling her own personal stuff. I bought a pretty fan for myself and a brooch for my Mom. She autographed the attached label of the brooch for my mother :)
I wish they did this in Los Angeles, whether with films or tours. Or ship stuff over.
Interesting that Bernadette just signs a B- unless you are giving to charity. Thats why it cost me a donation to Broadway Barks to get my "Love Bernadette Peters" photo.
I love the Flea Market; it's one of my favorite events! I've gone for the past three years, but I don't think I'm going to be able to make it this year. I'm going to try my hardest, but it doesn't look likely. Ah, well. I can always start back up again in 2011!
Dawn, I remember that table! It might have been 2 years ago.
Anyway last year was awful...I went back after I saw a show in the afternoon and it was much easier to walk around, but in the morning it really sucked. I've found some great stuff there before...I got a pristine Parade window card from the Lincoln Center table a couple years ago for about $40 and full cast signed opening night Playbills from Is He Dead? and Patti Gypsy for $20 each (they were a lot more but the woman running the table was incredibly nice and actually held them for me and told me to come back right before they closed up and she'd give them to me for less). My mom also bought an OBC Ragtime Playbill signed by Audra McDonald and Brian Stokes Mitchell from Andrew Kober last year which I thought was really cool.
I look forward to it every year. Scary that it's been almost a year since that cluster**** that was last year though.
