For those in the Dallas, TX area who like vintage clothing, this Saturday, February 24th, offers an opportunity to shop AND party at one of the most prestigious vintage stores in Dallas. The Vintage Factory, located at 2701 Main Street, is having a Grand Opening Sale from 4-9 p.m. They promise live music by the bands Romp Almighty and Couture, free drinks, and free “schwag” (which means “giveaways” to those of us who don’t speak the current language). Though I haven’t been there, I’m looking forward to the opportunity. I asked if old people were welcome if they brought teenagers and money, and was told that “all ages are welcome.” I’m not sure the music will be exactly familiar to me, but I won’t be asking, “Do y’all know any Sinatra?” I expect the teenagers, if they deign to grace us with their presence, will love it. I’m expecting an interesting experience if nothing more. Maybe I’ll find some awesome article of clothing that will actually fit me. I’ve noticed that many of the vintage stores have clothing for the tiny people, but nothing for women who have “gently matured.” That means I do not have a wasp-like waistline.
The Dallas Morning News claimed that The Vintage Factory is “filled with untouched gems just waiting to be found.” I think they liked it, because the final word on the place was “Score.”
