CRAFTS auction and breakfast... *LINK*
John Aniano in NJ...
>OK, here's the usual deal...
The past few years we simply met at the CRAFTS tailgating session at as early in the morning as you care to get there - usually about 6:30-7:00AM or so. After looking/buying stuff, we generally break for food to a local diner around ~9:30 or 10AM and then come back to the auction afterwards and not bid on anything because the prices are often out of this world! Seriously, the tailgating is why we go there, although I've done well bidding/buying old books on occasion...
I know that Paul Dzioba, Ray W., Bill Duffield, Adam C., Jeremy Osner, Dave Healy and a few others have met this way for companionship and breakfast on the day of the auction. Maybe we'll get to meet some new folks that morning...
Over and out,
