This weekend brought the Eugene Roadster Show to the Lane County Fairgrounds.  With his newly founded club, the Jalopy Jockeys (the logo of which I designed and Pat refined in the computer), my brother entered his ’28 Ford pick-up, a work in progress, and my dad entered his ’29 Ford Model A, and of course other members of the club joined in on the fun.  It’s awesome to see so many beautiful cars in one place, but I must admit, I hate in-door car shows with respects to photography, since the lighting is often terrible.

We’re all making plans on going to Billetproof up in Washington this summer, should be good fun.

This weekend was also the flea market, where I picked up thirteen fantastic ’60s/’70s romance comics.  I love cheesy comics like this, since the make for great pop art.  With the right scanner and printer, comic book art can make for fantastic home decor akin to Lichtenstein.  I picked up these, which range in years from ’63 to ’78 for $10.00 for the lot.

Notorious at the flea market (though not always there) are the “Suitcase Guys” who are your A-typical estate buyers who show up with suitcases full of the most random stuff, everything from pinbacks to postcards to photographs to playbills.

This time they had loads of paper, and I spent over a half hour digging through their stuff and came out with some old Las Vegas postcards, a piece of sheet music from the Rita Hayworth and Gene Kelly movie, Cover Girl, a ticketbook from Disneyland, and an old photo album full of 1940s wedding cards.  I bought the lot of stuff for $8.00.  Not yet sure what I’m going to do with the 30+ cards, may do some sort of craft thing with them for shower decor, but they were too cool and too cheap to pass up!
