So, Rob and I went to Cincinnati this weekend for the 20th Century Cincinnati show.  It was nice not have to look past butter churns and spinning wheels and other Cracker Barrel-type stuff to see stuff we were interested in.  They had about 50 vendors, and we didn’t buy anything, but had the price been more reasonable, I would have bought this Air India advertising poster from the 60’s as a birthday present to myself.  It was $2500 though, and I couldn’t come anywhere near justifying that.  I like art and all , and I really appreciate it, but i would have preferred to see it cheaper and unframed.

Rob almost bought an Astro Fighter table (it was in really good condition), but the attract screen (the screen that runs when no one is playing it to”attract” players to the machine) didn’t work.  Astro Fighter is basically an old-skool Space Invaders rip-off.

Good times had at the show, and our bank accounts were happy we didn’t buy anything. Although, I hadn’t planned on buying anything taht could be considered “collectible”. It had to have a function- like a lamp, dish, or piece of furniture- if I was going to buy it.
