super what?
Sorry, but I’m just not a big fan of football. I think it’s the ubër tight uniforms, grunts and all that slapping each other on the bum. And it hurts me just to see these guys slamming each other onto cold, rock-hard AstroTurf. Give me a civilized game of tennis or a Tour de France, any day, or even some basketball. But that’s just me.
So, if you happen to be of my ilk, and in the bay area here’s a reminder. It’s the 1st Sunday of the month, so that means the Alameda Flea Market is on this Sunday! Skip the Super Bowl and the three-layer bean dip and hit the flea market. I’m hoping everyone’s home on their sofas and Lazyboys with a six-pack in their laps, so there’s lots of good bargains left to be had by the rest of ‘us’. Go team flea!
SOO excited for Alameda!
its sad that I have never been to the Alameda Flea Market bc I live there for a few years. I don’t a fan of football either
i’ll be at the flea market this weekend! woohoo! and yes, im hoping everyone will stay home so i have GREAT finds!

ha ha ha…you know where I’ll be! But, I must admit, 3 bean layer dip sounds yummy…
Yes,I can agree with you 100%.I have hard time understanding all this excitement around the super ball especilly with some women.I like beautiful sports like figure skating,rithmic gymnastis and even skiing.But football and box?Naah!Can’t wait for the Winter Olympics.
Now I’m just jealous…
I’m going to Alameda and then a Superbowl party. But I’m a lot more excited for Alameda!
Last year on Super Bowl Sunday there was nobody at the Flea Market, including vendors. Less than 30 showed up. It was also rainy. They did let us in for free though.
Wow I love that tv in your photo, its fab!! I have a typewriter in the same colour.
actually, sadly, i will be working all weekend, but i hope the flea market is good. but thanks for the heads up, ana!
hels – thanks! i took that shot at alameda, and it actually made the cover of a record album:

Super bowl, what’s that? I am hoping to catch the flea market Sunday – unless I get lazy and stay in my jammies :^)
victoria, lol. you are totally my kind of friend.
not a football fan either and dont plan on watching it.. would TOTALLY rather go to a flea market! ;) ive heard of the alameda market (i have it bookmarked!) i hope it make it up one day!
happy weekend!
xo.
i so wish i could come along to the flea market, but instead i will be kept awake all night by a bunch of rowdy boys watching the superbowl in our livingroom… although saying that, i am quite pleased i picked a man who prefers american football to our football (soccer)!
have a great weekend,
emma

haha, i was thinking the same thing – vintage goods for me!
I am SOOOO not a football fan. So I’m “super what?” all the way, too.
Hehe…I’m in! I’m taking a glass blowing class on Sunday.
Footbowl = snoozeville. I do have a place in my heart, however, for the Puppy Bowl, shown at the same time as the Superbowl on Animal PLanet.
I do enjoy the NFL, but hitting up a flea market in lieu of the game is kind of tempting!
Wow! I would chose a flea market over football any day! Just wish Dallas, TX felt the same way! We do, however, have a wonderful Mardi Gras parade today in the Bishop Arts District that I’m looking forward to! So…I’ll be doing that this afternoon and then kicking back and editing all of the great pictures of the parade during the big bowl tonight…in between the commercials, of course!
Just started a new Facebook fan group page for Alameda – check it out: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=334540675029
