Every year there are a few souls who can't make it to the Flea Market for whatever reason. Here's the place to wallow in your misery.
I can't go this year because I was recently released from the hospital and need to stay at home and recover. blah.

I wish I could go, but my mom has a consistery meeting and im not allowed to go in to NY by myself. I cry for you to, ILoveMyDictionary.
feel better, Ilovemydictionary!
I have a ton of reading, a lesson to plan, and observation crap to work on. I'm not leaving my bedroom even though I'm only a 40 minute train ride away. gahh...
I'm at school in Indiana . I'm a senior this year and plan on moving back to NYC so I'm definitely going next year.

I can't go because I am in Florida but I also recently got released from the hospital and currently look something like this: (this is not me, by the way)
which I have to wear for 3 days.
Back to flea market conversation...
I was going to go, but the auditions for a show that I'm stage managing are today, so I kind of have to be here...

It's my Birthday party...
F*CK the Birthday, go to the Flea Market. I know I would.
If only I didn't live in Chicago, and the cost of traveling wasn't so high...
I just got back! I bought so much cool stuff!
For those who couldn't go, there's always next year!
The "so much cool stuff" comment makes me feel sooooooooooooo much better. Thanks a lot, WBAF.
Just got back as well, but its not that much fun when you're broke as a joke
My birthday was the 10th I had over $400 to spend at the flea market and a reservation today at Sardi's. But College is getting the better of me.
All Work And No Play Makes bundy a very dull boy
I also wish I was there instead of stuck in MA!

Logan, I hear you on that one!! I did manage to score a window card that I'd been looking for for a while ~ CHEAP! I'm giving up on the TDF tickets thing. No matter how many of those tickets I get, I never win. Those two things took my meager budget for this.
I was debating all last week on going, but yesterday with my car breaking down did me in. So, that meant no ride and no extra cash to spare on stuff I really probably don't need anyway. I am just hoping to have my car ready by Wednesday when I'm seeing Xanadu again.

I live in Texas. Not only can I not make it to the Flea Market, but I live in Texas
I've got 3 chapters I have to read for class tomorrow, plus an outline that I haven't even started yet. As much as I would have loved to go up to NYC today, there's just too much stuff for me to do here.
I was gonna go, then XANADU announced it's closing, had to sacrifice the Flea Market.
You didn't miss much in my opinion. I spent a grand total of $2.25, and two dollars of that was on Billy Joel vinyls.
You can always do FleaBay

I lost my job on Friday..... I still had a great time though. And at the end of the day I picked up a few 2 for $5 tee shirts for friends.
