I know some of you have attended this. If I recall correctly it's been a dissapointment so far?

I went the first year, but not last year. It was really crowded for the space and it wasn't set up well for the flow of people. But I did pick up a couple of tee shirts and tote bags at a bargain.

It was more spread out last year and better organized. I picked up a denim jacket for $30, among other things. They had posters from four or five different years at a discount. I am planning on going again, but I suggest getting there early.

I think we'll be going to this early before the gumbo fest. It sounds like maybe we can get a deal on something. Hope to see some threadheads there.

I've picked up a few things each of the last two years, including Jazz Fest tote bags, WWOZ candles, and the 2-part Jazz Fest poster they did in 1994. I expect we'll swing by early again this year to check it out...
