Sat. April 29 Occasionally, we give shopping tips in this space. Shopping is entertainment, right? The Punk Rock Flea Market is certainly that. Ben Sisto (of Honeypump and the Milky Way Lounge & Lanes) started this activity in 2002 with ten tables and 30 customers. It was done in conjunction with Sisto's alma mater, Mass. College of Art . The Flea Market has now up for the tenth time, and they've figured 40 tables is the ideal space for you to browse for vintage t-shirts, badges, records, memorabilia and the like. You know the drill: Someone else's junk, your treasure. (We have some back-in-the-day, battered punk rock badges from the late-'70s that are doing us no real good but we can't just bear to part with. Also the Sex Pistols first two 45s, "Anarchy in the U.K." and "God Save the Queen.") Adding to the atmosphere are djs Claude Money, Eli "Paperboy" Reed and Mark Pearson. The event starts at 11 a.m. and shuts down at 5 p.m. Saturday April 29. It's at the Mass College of Art's Pozen Center. Sisto calls it "socially responsible capitalism" and apologizes that his mum won't be there providing her vegan baked goods - she'll be in New Orleans singing with her band.
