Hell's Kitchen Flea Market Rocks

Sunday was a very long day, but also equally educational. I barely slept the night before. The combination of knowing I had to be up super early and my super young neighbors outside partying on a lovely night made sweet dreams very hard. I did of course wake up on time and made my way to Hell's Kitchen. It was a gorgeous drive. I love being up before many people get on the road. It was an easy cruise, though parking was a little tricky.

I attempted to put up my tent for the first time by myself, but was offered a hand by my neighbor which was truly appreciated. I seemed to be the only one to lug weights (water jugs) to weight down my tent, but glad I did considering the winds were strong for the last hour.

Several friends and lots of tourists stopped by. Aside from my toes being really cold and jumping around a lot to keep the blood pumping, the day went really well. I'd like to do it again. I was only shaken by watching a cabbie run into the car behind me on the way home. I'm not a huge fan of driving in the city.

I loved a Flea guy close by that sold tons of Letterpress things. He gets his stuff from the warehouse Letterpress Things in Conneticut. I must simply make a trip to this place soon! He had printer's drawers, furniture cabinets and several blocks. I bought this one for $4!
