THE PUNK ROCK FLEA MARKET - SUMMER EDITION !

It's that time again for the semi-annual (twice a year) PUNK ROCK FLEA MARKET. Our most popular reoccurring event/show/whatever (by far). A day of fun with over 2500 visitors (!) and 100 tables of vendors. Now with a brand new air conditioning system! All proceeds raised will goto the purchase of necessary equipment and supplies to ensure that all ages shows continue to remain a reality at The First Unitarian Church in Philadelphia - mainly the remaining payment for our new liability insurance policy. Do not let the name lead you to believe that it's just punk records, clothes etc. - it's a full on flea market with everything from furniture, to laptops / computers , to stereo equipment, to handmade apparel, to vegan treats, information from various non profit groups, book stores, artists selling their work, bicycles & skateboards and whatever else we can fit onto the ballroom floor at The Starlight Ballroom. In addition to the normal flea market stuff there will also be a full bar and food service kitchen to make the day go by a little faster






Interested In A Table - Please Read The Following :

1) For the first ten days (may 21st to june 1st) we are ONLY allowing registration for peoples old "items" / personal possessions etc. If you create, sew, bake, stitch, screen, record, press, print any sort of new item for sale - you must wait till AFTER June 1st. Further more if you are a BUSINESS that sells old stuff (like vintage clothing, record distro or shop) - you must also wait till June 1st. This is to ensure the Flea Market remains "A Flea Market" vs A "Craft Fair" (which we are working on!) or just another location for someone's retail shop.

Attn : Tricksters we are keeping track of this - and if we find that you are selling new scarves and registered before the 1st - we will kick 'ya out! The same applies for record stores, record labels and distros. THE FIRST REGISTRATION PERIOD IF FOR INDIVIDUALS SELLING THEIR OLD STUFF ONLY

2) This year we are introducing two pricing levels. One for people's old junk (as mentioned above) and one for businesses such as clothing companies, screen printers, vintage shops or people that have stores on ebay etc). Tables for individuals are $65 for a full table (still not to shabby - again 2500+ people came through the door last year). Half tables will be $45. For businesses : full tables are $80 / Half Tables are $60. Not sure what you are ? Get in touch!

3) We are ONLY allowing reservations to be made online (we are no longer doing in person "tickets") - it was just way to confusing to keep track and created the biggest most confusing mess ever. Sorry!

4) We provide the tables and chairs. If you have a specific request please e-mail us with it at : sean at r5productions dot com We don't mean to sound like jerks, but some sellers act like crazy people and try and work around these "rules". So we want to VERY clear and precise. Thanks for registering and we appreciate your support !

Score ONE For The Kids : Batlles All Ages @ JBs

Hello Friends -
We are very excited to deliver you the following news. After almost two years of constant badgering and complaining about how our shows at Johnny Brendas are 21+ we are happy to make a one time exception for a very special show.

As you may know BATTLES were booked to play Johnny Brendas on June 15th and the show proceeded to sell out extremely fast. Lot's of people were bummed and scalped tickets were found on the internet selling for "lots of moneys". It sort of made sense - seeing this would be a rare and special opportunity to see Battles in such a small, intimate room with awesome sound + lights etc.

After a few weeks of deliberation with the generous and amazing support of both Johnny Brendas and Battles - we decided to attempt a special all ages show.

So for "one night only" (well more like one afternoon) : the upstairs of Johnny Brendas, Philadelphia's best small venue, will be open to those of all ages!

Again we stress that this is a one time event and very likely to never be repeated again (it just happened that everything fell into place) . Please do not expect this to be a precedent, please do not ask us to book more all ages shows there, please do not ask Johnny Brendas to book all ages shows etc. Johnny Brendas is a bar and are doing us a huge favor for this one time only.

Please also note for those Battles fans who are 21+ and were shut out from purchasing tickets to the later evening Battles show - the bar downstairs will remain open as well as a smaller balcony in the venue portion (so you can still goto the show and get your drink on)

Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased as the usual outlets :
