How badly do you miss the Avenue A Flea? Next weekend you'll find it resurrected at the Outdoor Flea Market & Art Fair at East Side Community High School. Vintage items, collectibles, clothing, jewelry, shoes, books, art, food, crafts and more will be for sale in the school's basketball courts and garden at 420 East 12th street (between Ave A and 1st Ave). The date is November 8–9th, 2008; hours 9–5. The flea is a benefit for the school's art students, who will be using the proceeds for a trip to Europe, where they will broaden their arts education . . . although I'm hoping there are a few aspiring dealers among them who will haul some goods home for a flea market next year, perhaps.
