lazy sunday

so my shutter finger has been itching for an event to come up that can give me the opportunity to just let loose for a day. and it looks like good ol' downtown LA has provided thusly.



this sunday the 27th is the second annual american apparel factor flea market at their downtown warehouse located on the corner of 7th and alameda. from what i have gathered, it's basically going to be a giant flea market/carnival extravaganza where they clear out their entire stock. tons of super cheap clothing (both by american apparel and other companies), music, food, rides, live DJ sets and muscial performances, and a dance party for after the sun goes down. it's open from 2:00 to midnight and there's a $5 entrance fee. or you can pay $12 for the early bird special and get in at noon.

and from what i read about last years event you'll really want to get there early. rough estimates suggest that about 4,000 attended and i read somewhere that the wait to get in at one point was nearly 2 hours. but i hope that doesn't discourage anyone, when you think about it that's just like waiting in line for the indiana jones ride at disneyland on any other day. they also estimated 200,000 articles of clothing were sold (and there's going to be more this time around), so there should be plenty to go around for everybody.

but me and a couple good friends are packing up my van and heading over for the festivities. and i hope all those out there in the dark abyss that is the internet and stumble across this blog (or already know of this) will be sure to check it out.
