When I was a kid we use to go to the Orange County Swap meet. I remember bringing all the money I had for a new superman t-shirt, an Intellivision game, or maybe just some cool junk. I think growing up going planted the seed of collecting things for my art. When I moved to Colorado I was excited to see they had a swap meet as well but instead they called it the Flea Market. Now for some reason they are trying to change their image, be a little more hip and call themselves the Mile High Market Place. No matter how much updating these places do, it is still one of the strangest places to go. I love it more now than ever. Its not about all the junk that’s out there, but more for the people watching and experience of it.
