I ended up walking away with an end table myself, but I know exactly what antique shop I'll be swinging by every so often, or bringing out of towners who want to see pieces of Chicago history, displayed in a classic Chicago apartment.

BUT I love the antiquity of the theater so somehow, for me, those things balanced one another out. I really tried to soak it up as an overall experience. I wish I'd brought more cash since that was the preferred method of payment. However I was very pleased that a few vendors were willing to accept a paypal payment later that day as well as credit cards via iphones. I scored a lovely antique fleur-de-lis pin for a Christmas gift for mom as well as an awesome 1960's turquoise velvet coat in pristine condition for myself! My partner brought home some antique cameras for her collection as well. I agree that sometimes it was hard to know who was in charge of the individual booths, so perhaps an identifying tag or badge would have been helpful. I felt the majority of the prices were appropriate, and was pleased overall by the friendliness and courtesy of folks in what could have been a tense situation with the cozy and hot atmosphere.

There must have been some strange expectations. This was not a bargain hunters paradise but more like having the best of the best all in one place. Some vendors are pricier than others. I got some business cards and intend to visit their full collections. I agree the lighting was terrible. I think even the Congress personnel were surprised what a power suck hundreds of hundred watt bulbs can be. Next time - FLORESCENTS I enjoyed watching the chaos with a cocktail from the perimeter. The rake of the floor was not that bad. I bet I can guess which booths had trouble keeping their stuff vertical. The makeshift rack your boyfriend made hoping you would clean out your closet wasn't sturdy enough for all of those dresses. However, I appreciate that entrepreneurial spirit. It was a big crowd. The house lights made it really warm and I didn't have a cocktail in my hand before the first purchase was made. We all had our challenges. The worst was the lady pushing her baby - slowly - through the crowd in this over sized pram. This event is better for strapping the baby to your body. Hands free. Even better leave it at home with yo' baby daddy. This bazaar is more of an event than a flea market. With bed bugs on the rise I am thankful for this curated gathering of dozens of purveyors of fine vintage goods with a few "garage" sale styled booths tossed in. I found a bargain pair of lamps - see photo!!! Can't wait for the next one. I do hope some of the vendors will use their Iphones to take PayPal payments on the floor - I would have spent that $95 on that bulbous lamp.

Pros were: - A lot of vendors! - A variety of items - lots of food trucks so you won't be hungry - Legitemately most of the items for sale were antiques and vintage along with some artisans and food merchants (coffee cakes, toffee etc). But not booths of 3D printed stuff. Cons were: - it seemed like whenever we were interested in inquiring about something, the vendor was not at their booth... - Prices were pretty high (especially in comparison to The Pec Thing which I just went to the previous weekend), and not every vendor was willing to dicker (I have never been to a flea market where this is the case unless an item is marked "Firm") - We arrived at opening and some of the vendors weren't set up yet. It had also rained the night before so a lot of the outside people had put tarps over their merch but items still got wet. Caveat emptor. Overall, it was worth checking out but we only bought one small item. Maybe next time!

On the plus side, if you're into vintage clothing (everything from band tshirts to vintage designer) you will love it. Guessing 50%+ of the dealers were fashion related. There were a few MCM places but honestly not much beyond that. I didn't expect to be accosted by window and gutter salesmen but here we are. The building is beautiful, there were a good number of food trucks and places to grab refreshments, and it was well organized. No WAY we're there anything close to 200 dealers - maybe half that? (If we don't count the gutter dudes) Not for me, but if you love vintage fashion, it's probably your jam.
