I haven't been to a flea market/swap meet in sooooo long. I went to one with my ex back in like 2010-ish in Dallas, but aside from that, the last time I went was around New Year's 99/2000 with a childhood friend and her mom.
Her mom got completely troutfaced drunk (friend and I were only like 14, I suppose) and stole a bunch of stuff from different stalls (including a couple of expensive cameras) and even had -us- slip out of one place with several big picture frames. She wound up being too drunk to get us back home and my friend had to drive us (we were like 30 minutes away from our neighborhood).
Fun times.
I dig em though. Never know what you're gonna find at them
