"Okay, here's another great one for the western United States. Now, why is it the western United States, you may ask. Simple, I'm in the western United States. Amazing, isn't it? Okay, this is the Western.....the West Coast Peddler, and this is another advertising piece that tells you where all the antique malls are, and it has a huge classified section in the back where it also says "Here's what we want to buy from you, so call us, write us, e-mail us." They have some great, great stuff in here. Let me show you. Some of these antique malls are so cool. Here's an antique mall that sells bunny costumes. How cool is that? Vintage costumes, have you ever seen that? Did I ever tell you about the time I did a Dolly Parton singing telegram? We'd better wait, we'll hold off on that one. I did pretty well, actually, on that one. But this one has all the cool antique stores, and actually, check this out. This is the Pamona Downtown Antique Street Fair, this is a big one. This is a big one. It's the last Saturday of the month, I think the fourth Saturday of the month. And that is right here on this street, where you can rent a space. It's a flea market and you sell all kinds of cool stuff. It's awesome. But if you're like me, you're going to bring home more than you get rid of. And that means you have an illness. It also means that it's cheaper than therapy, so stick with this one. I know it's cheaper than therapy, trust me."
