Before I head off to Gabriel and Rita Romeu's chateau for the Tandem ride, I thought I would post a brief report on T-Town.

Weather was perfect. Crisp in the morning with 74 degree temperatures by mid-day with immeasurable humidity. Heavy crowds but their appetite for spending was understandably constrained. Several vendors polled replied that larger ticket items were difficult to move. A few vendors told me they did extremely well.

The vendor count was good but not great. Harry Schwartzman and Wayne Bingham have the award for coolest vintage stuff. Wayne had items out of Mel Pinto's cave while Harry was selling his stuff and Alan Bernstein's cache. My find of the day was a Woolistic Bianchi Faema jersey in my size for 40 bucks.
