Its actually a pretty good time. they have carninval food there, all night weirdness, stars and then the messed up flea marketing. There is everything there, some auto parts vendors show up (where else would I have found the hood ornament to a 1970 monte carlo for 5 dollars) and general vendors and neat.. stuff.
Bring a flashlight and a jacket and cash, everything is negotiable.

I think its once a year. And yeah its a real freak show :rofl:
I went Sunday at 2am and low balled the fuck out of the people. Most took my offers because they don't want to haul the shit home. I got some old beer signs and vintage camera shit for my old Nikon.

Pretty much the same thing I do. You wait till late and people will give stuff away just so they do not have to lug is back home.

As far as the freak show angle, oh hell yes it is. There will be a lot of "oh my god I had that as a kid" moments as well.
Bring a flask.
Lets see, the 501st will be there. Imagine if a bunch of guys decided they wanted to be storm troopers, then made a club, then turned that into an international army.
Hey you know that weird thing you were looking for that you can't find? Its at this market.
My buddy picked up an engineering book, the rebuilding of pneumatic pumps or something, opened it up, 20 year old bottle of scotch. Guy sold it for 5 bucks.
