I had a hard time trying to decide between the asphalt or the concrete, and decided not to buy any because I would have to shovel it in the winter anyway.

You're kiddin' right? If anything would make me go postal it would be trying to make my way through a crowd like that! No, I just stay home, enjoy the P&Q. Little woman picked me up a few nick-knacks, couple of t-shirts, . . whatever. None of which was produced locally. Could of done that at Walmart . . .

"I got soaked with sweat, two new railroad spikes and four broken cigarettes. Plus some mean boys up in the 600 block chased me. Then I got cussed."

My friend, Gus, got a sunburn, heat rash, and a parking ticket. He said it was his best haul in years.

I got an awesome skirt at Calamity Janes for $15. I've seen skirts like it for $90 and up.

I was looking for some reloadable 5.75 Velo Dog brass. My efforts were not crowned with success. :(

I bought three antique door knobs which I will be using for Festivus gifts I am making, a Project Lydia bracelet at discount, a jar of curry sauce half off for my sweetheart, a Dusty Bookshelf t-shirt for myself half off, a Dusty Bookshelf t-shirt for my 5 year old niece half off (one with a pic of the cat on it...she loves the cat and sometimes accidentally calls the store the Dirty Bookstore, hahaha),and a little beaded crab keychain made by a women's bead co-op on Guatemala which recieves 100% of the profits. NICE! I looooove the sidewalk sale!

stuff from Garry Gribbles, some shampoo at one of the barbers, a sweater and shirt. Didn't bother going to the huge stores (AE, Urban)...I heard their lines were outrageous. After awhile I just got too pissed off at the crowds (more specifically, when people only have one lane to walk, and then someone just decides to stop and everyone else has no where to go...happened a gazillion times...rude)

I've never found a bargain at the Sidewalk Sale. Didn't even bother this year - too hot and can't afford it. If I find anything there lower than Wal-mart price I'll buy it (which is rare) so to me there is no bargain.

A new Kimber Ultra CDP II with a 1000 rounds of 45 ACP, and a Ruger Mini-14 with a couple 30-round magazines and a 1000 rounds of 5.56. Good times ahead!

The sidewalk sale I went to wasn't in Larryville.
