BC/EFA Flea Market 9/23/07 — Page 2

Oh man...

This will be my second BC/EFA Flea Market. A great event for a great cause. Can't wait!

The BC/EFA flea market is dangerous for me. Last year I spent about 200 dollars on random paraphinalia.

Thanks for all the info! And I had no idea ABC soap stars did it too. Awesome!

They make an announcement when you can line up so its not like if you get there super early you're at any sort of advantage.

well thank you DivaBrigader....I think I'm going to try to go...so is it possible to stand in every line?

---

I haven't done the line before, but yes, in theory if you've got $20 for every time, you can do it every time.

<--- excited.

Besides doing autographs and pictures, what do they sell? Kind of jumping from 'Cape Twirl of Doom's' mention of decorating his room....

Thanks Yankee.

That is ridiculous! I really wish I could go to this But I won't be in town in September..

That would be HER room.

Well, I usually just stick with stuff from the table at the Majestic, but the goodies vary from year to year.

I will also be looking at the tables this year for a jacket from a production. The Les Miz jacket I got at the Phantom table last year dosen't fit. Since it is autographed by it's former owner (Hugh Panaro), I would never wear it anyway. Imagine my shock whan I found that autograph on the inner pocket.

Hugh told me a few weeks later that he'd originally planned on taking part in the flea market last year...I think he said he was going to be at the autograph table since, obviously Lestat wasn't going to have a table (my phone kept ringing so the conversation was sort of fragmented). But he ended up doing "Company" in Seattle which took him out of NYC just before the flea market. So he said he went through his stuff and donated a big box of things like that jacket to the Phantom table.

You can either take a poloroid or use your own camera. There are 2 different lines for the autograph line and the picture line. The picture line is usually a crowded mess because there are so many people cluttering it up and not buying photo ops, just looking at the celebrities. If you take a picture and are already on line, they will let you go off the line and back on when you are done. But of course every year, they try something different. Last year, it was at the new place that used to be Charley O's. The autograph line was on 45th Street and the photo booth was outside the restaurant in Shubert Alley. It was impossible trying to get to the head of the line for a photo. I've done this every year since the first flea market. One year they had the autograph table and the photo booth inside the lobby of the Minskoff Theater (upstairs). It was a great idea but with the Minskoff now having a tenant, they can't do it anymore. So in answer to your question: You can bring someone with you to take the picture. I definitely plan on using my digital. You get better quality with it than a poloroid.
