Thrifting expedition this weekend?

[geekchick]

So far today's been less exciting than yesterday, and that's a good thing. Yesterday started off with getting rear-ended on the way to our respective offices; the guy two cars back from me failed to stop in time and hit the car behind me, shoving it into my rear bumper. Luckily, the only obvious damage to my car is a slightly-bent license plate and a couple scratches on the bumper and it didn't seem like anyone was injured. I now see why people are tempted to leave the scene; we stood around in the cold and the rain for about an hour and a half waiting to get all the paperwork filled out and the police report filed.

Anyway, the main point of the post: I'm feeling inclined to go foraging in a thrift store or two this weekend to see what I can find. Anyone interested in joining me for an expedition to Unique Thrift Store in Silver Spring (on New Hampster just off the Beltway). I'm thinking early afternoon on Saturday, although if anyone really wants to go and can't until Sunday I'm game for that too.

There is also one in Merrifield, in the old Hechinger, and it's a lot closer to Chris's house.

I forgot about the VA outpost, thanks!

I am (a) glad you had to do nothing worse than stand in the rain, and (b) mad for thrift shops. My location vis-à-vis yours, however, sucks. Assuming this remains insurmountable, can you take some quick pix so we can all see that it lives up to "Unique"?

(I can reciprocate with a phone .jpg of "Boxed Note's" for sale at a Philly 30th St. station shop, as well as one of Boxed "Christmas" Cards. You know, the ones that are actually valentines but just happen to have Santa on.)

Well, it's also a Value Village, so I'm not sure how "unique" it's likely to be. If there's anything outstanding, I'll make sure to grab photographic evidence. =)

Very glad you're ok - and surprise, look at my latest post.

I'm competing Saturday but if you're so inclined Sunday, let me know!

If you're free on Sunday afternoon, I'm totally happy to go then instead. Haven't seen you in far too long!
