On the List | Punk Rock Flea Market punk rocks the CD’s Punk Rock Post Office

PRFM_Strangerlogo_WPIt’s punk not to give a shit about rain. With plans for 80 vendors inside the old post office at 23rd and Union and another 70 in the parking lot, plus DJs, a bar, and food offerings, the Punk Rock Flea Market could be even more interesting if the forecasts for (much needed) weekend rain come through.

And, remember, “there are NO LIMITS on what can be sold” —

The PRFM is a full on flea market with everything from music and clothing, to furniture, computers, stereo equipment, handmade apparel, shoes, vegan treats, porn, housewares, info from nonprofit groups, books, art, taxidermy, bikes, pet costumes, skateboards and whatever else we can fit into the space. Our “Punk Rock” name refers as much to the DIY spirit of the event as it does to any particular music or lifestyle.

All of that — and more — for $1 price of admission.

Meanwhile, also on the thrifting/rain-wary end of things, Pistil Books is planning its annual outdoor book sale for the alley at 1414 E Union for Saturday. Look for a reschedule if it’s raining. Postponed due to rain!

Do a little rain dance Saturday night with dozens of your closest friends as Dancing in the Street joins the action around the final weekend of the E Pike pedestrian zone pilot.

4_Neverending_Story-233x235Rain will also threaten the final scheduled night for this year’s schedule of free outdoor movies in Cal Anderson. The Neverending Story is slated to play Friday night — check for updates.

The moon will be out rain or shine — you can stumble down the Hill to the Arboretum Saturday for the Japanese Garden’s Moon Viewing Festival. Oops. Sold out!

Would be cool to see a list/schedule of the bands playing. I went to the Flea Market website also, but no info on the music there also. Sounds like fun regardless!

We are re-scheduling our book sale since it’s supposed to rain and books and rain don’t mix. We will most likely have the sale next Saturday, Sept. 5. Stay tuned! Pistil Books Online
