It's a weird flea market this year, I think. Twice the people and half the merchandise. I came home to take a break but so far I've gotten

I really wanted to get one of these, but sanity kicked in. I did see people buying them, though. I just wonder how you would get them home and what you'd do with them! I wish I had the space.
got the full score for BONNIE AND CLYDE-the Hunter Foster version , BAKERS WIFE and LAVENDER GIRL from 3HREE. If only they had BAKERS STREET it would have been perfect. Won tickets to ADDAMS FAMILY and SISTER ACT. At 9:40 it was already busy but by the time I left around 11:00 it was starting to get packed.
SISTER ACT - $5.00 MEMPHIS - 5.00 SCOTTSBORO BOYS 5.00 SEUSSICAL - 3.00 LEGALLY BLONDE 2.00 ETTA JAMES 1.00
Also picked up a CITY OF ANGELS baseball cap ($1.00) and the WARNER BROTHERS STORY oversize book for $2.00.
I'll wander back late afternoon for another look.

Damn! Those were the two shows I was trying for, notabb! I just won tickets to FUERZABRUTA, which I don't really have much interest in. But I only spent $10, so I can't complain. And this was actually my first time winning at the TDF booth!!
I second Brick! That's a fantastic purchase, Jordan.
I have a limited budget this year and only bought two things for myself: a signed Women on the Verge windowcard ($50) and the Sondheim Scrabble Album ($5). I also bought two Playbills for a friend and picked up four of the Patti LuPone at Les Mouches posters for friends. I have one and everyone always asks me where I got it, so when I saw them at the Givenik table, I had to pick them up. (and they were only $5 each.)
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Other than the TDF raffle, the only things I bought were a few signed Playbills:
Book of Morman ($50) Priscilla Queen of the Desert ($50) Catch Me If You Can ($50) Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me ($25)
I think I got the last Book Of Mormon Playbill, and it wasn't a bad price considering the BOM table was selling signed posters for $300. But the other $50 Playbills were admittedly kind of splurge-y. Oh well. Charity, right?
They were all from that Grey New York table... I think. Who are they?!? I feel like I spend money at their table every year.
I was tempted by the signed Playbills being sold at the How To Succeed... table, but at $80 a pop, I couldn't do it! Updated On: 9/25/11 at 01:58 PM
I won tickets for ADDAMS FAMILY & BILLY ELLIOT. Also bought some FOLLIES props which are damn cool. They're the guests invitations personalized to the characters and signed by the actors who played them. They were out of Bernadette (Sally) when I saw them so if anyone has one and is willing to part with it, I'll be your best friend FOREVER! I want to frame the 5 that I got and would love to add that one to it. :)
I got one of those signed invitations as well, Jordan...I wish I could've gotten all of them but I just got Stella's.
Aside from that, all I was really able to afford this year was a DVD of Jonathan Groff and Lea Michele's Broadway Chatterbox and a $1 Minister's Wife window card. I also wanted a picture with Jan Maxwell in the photo booth but I was told at about 1:40 that she wasn't going in.

Went through the 12 PM autograph table - and purchased a Flea Market poster. Got my "Three's Company" book signed by Joyce DeWitt
And my big purchase: I won the silent auction for Alice Ripley's dress/scarf from "Next to Normal"
I got: American Idiot poster (which I later had signed by Mary Faber) ($5) My picture with Michael Emerson ($20) And won tickets to The Addams Family, Rock of Ages, and The Fantastiks. I can't make the Addams Family performance though. :/
Got: Finian's Rainbow windowcard ($5) Copy of Doubt in paperback ($2)
I also spent $3 miserably failing the "Win Lysistrata Jones tickets" basketball game and ended up with the squish basketball consolation prize.
I also won 2 Addams Family tix from TDF for the October 5th matinee that I can't use. If anyone wants to trade (even for a different Addams Family time, I just can't make this particular Wednesday matinee), let me know.
Went back and got a couple of other little things. Jason & Marin were at Debra Monk's table for a while, so I got a pic with my me, my dog and the two of them.
People PM'd me asking for pics of a few things, so here ya go -
One of the FOLLIES invitations (Jan signed the back of this one. All others are signed on the front)-
