The scene was much quieter for the second Fort Greene flea market this Sunday, even with an extensive and entertaining
story on the front page of the
Times style section. The lack of competition meant a somewhat righteous haul:
Enter the Dragon and
Barbarella soundtracks for $1 each (!?), plus
The Cincinnati Kid,
Buck Rogers, and a slow burning 1977 disco record on De-Lite called Made in U.S.A.
Lalo Schifrin
The Human Fly MP3 from
Enter the Dragon
We met up with
Chad and
Christine, who bought a really cool skateboard deck, four wheels, and a sketchpad from
Deadly Squire. Afterward we got brunch at
Flatbush Farm. I had Toad in the Hole, bacon, a side of hashbrowns, and a pretty great cup of coffee by New York standards. Emily had a pancake with some little cooked fruits. A good and nourishing time was had by all.
I believe
Habana Outpost opens again next weekend which means solar-powered Cuban sandwiches, corn on the cob, and Six Point will be on Sunday's post-flea agenda from here until the end of time as I currently know it.
While we were on the road, Paul Newman died, and I wanted to post something about that, but it fell through the cracks. Being so late with it, I won't add another obituary to the mix…I will take the opportunity, though, to post one of the most beautiful pieces of soundtrack music I've ever heard, from one of Newman's best films.
