Brooklyn Flea

So I'm chilling at FDR to JFK, chatting with Paula, thinking about getting a vintage apron, when I notice this dude scrutinizing all the goods. He makes me wonder: Is he a dealer? Is he an artist? Is he an obsessive compulsive? I must find out.

So Mark, where ya from?

I'm from Houston, Texas.

Are you visiting?

I have been a neighbor of the Flea for a year now.

Why'd you come?

I came for a woman.

Have you been to the Flea before?

I come as often as I can.

So, what do you do?

I'm a consultant in crisis management, investigation research, and international intelligence.

Um, wow. OK.

So, what do you have there?

I just bought this here. See, my girlfriend is turning 29 years old. And the 29th element on the Periodic Table of Elements is copper. So, I'm buying a selection of copper items to present to her in August. We will also do things on her birthday that relate to copper, like go to the Statue of Liberty, and things like that.

Wow, that is damn sweet. Romance lives. Good luck!

Thanks Mark!
