Okay, for reals, second to last post of photos of stuff I’m selling at our flea market on Sunday, 10AM – 3PM on the corner of 16th and Sophia, one block east of Main.

BRAND NEW:
Nike backpack – $25
Crownfarmer crewneck – $25
V.I.A. Special tee shirt, the last one! – $15
XBOX games (used)- $5
DC Shoes, PJ Ladd pro model size 7 men’s – $35
Gravis, Dylan Rieder pro model size 7 men’s – $25
2K T-shirts, all sizes avilable – $10 each
Little Giants DVDs – $10

I got these Stefan Janoski’s this week, they’re size 7 men’s but they fit like a small 6.5… so I can’t wear em, and they will be for sale.

Bottom line is that it’s gonna be cheap! Also, keep in mind that I’m not the only person selling stuff! Now 6 other people have confirmed and I know they’ve got closets full of stuff too.

Every August, West 4th throws a big ’60s themed street party commemorating Kitsilano’s hippie heritage.  Having spent 3 summers working retail at Arbutus, I’ve always experienced the event as a half hour lunch break listening to classic rock cover bands.

This year, Zulu is setting up a free stage and it’s got a little something different going on.  They’ve got Apollo Ghosts, Ora Corgan, Rose Melberg, The Evaporators, and No Horses on from noon until 4ish on August 15th.  If you have time, wander over to the macrame booth before the show starts and craft yourself a sweet headband.

Just got confirmation from the ladies at Once Loved that they’ll be posting up on a blanket at the flea market this weekend selling stuff! Sunday 10AM – 3PM on the corner of 16th Ave and Sophia, one block east of Main.
