Described as the Yard Sale of the Apocalypse, a yard sale featuring the house-innards of Erika Whilhite (Co-Producer, War of the Worlds), Beth Marshall (Producer, Orlando Fringe), Kristina Goats (formerly with Orlando Fringe) and several other equaly creative-looking hipsters took place on the front yard (and sometimes spilling into the street) of Kristina's 2-story apartment building in Mills50 Saturday August 15, 2009. We told you about it August 11. If you needed to decorate the set of some indie movie where the main characters live in an apartment you only wish you could live in, youd have been in heaven dropping $2 on ceramic unicorns, $3 on a glazed baby deer or 25 cents on a vintage Mark Baratelli Fringe button.
The early bird garage sale freaks came (of course) two hours before the sale's official start time of at 8:30am. Kristina was having none of it. As they dug through boxes and caused disorder, Kristina was quoted as saying "You can look all you want, but don't talk to me before 8:30am!"
Around noon, four boxes of pizza from Papa Johns was orderedd and handed out at a dollar a slice. It was gone in 10 minutes, as was the Publix salad someone gave one of the two sweet doggies roaming the sale. The owner of the dog is vegan, but the dog ate the meat anyway.
It was a very good yard sale, with proceeds going towards Kristina's move to Seattle, Erika's move to some teensy city I forgot the name of, and Beth Marshall's purse. No one bought the vintage Mark Baratelli Fringe button.
