As was the case with 50% off day at Community Thrift, I am semi-reluctant to tell the legions of Uptown Almanac readers about the Vintage Expo today, for fear of fierce competition for all the good shit. Unfortunately though, I know I’m too broke to do any real shopping damage today, so I welcome the rivalry from my fellow vintage and retro devotees!

The Vintage Expo is held at the Concourse (635 8th Street x Brannan) until 5pm today. Admission is $10, but students get in free with school ID. There’ll be 80ish vendors with clothing, textiles, jewelry and accessories spanning from the Victorian era to the seventies. From what I’ve heard, prices are steep but the selection is well-edited. More info is on the official website.
