Hey y’all! I have to be honest, I’ve had a BIG hyper-fixation recently: thrifting, but specifically Facebook marketplace. It’s probably one of the joint best and worst places on the internet. BUT in my search for secondhand furniture, clothing, and knick knacks, I’ve become well aware of all the best locally-owned spots for secondhand buying to hit around the city. And today, I’m sharing my list with you. You’re welcome!!!

But first, a giveaway!

Enter to win a pair of tickets to Chelsea Wolfe. She returns to the Moore Theatre on 9/18 with new music and her first North American tour in more than three years. Things are about to get beautifully bleak.*

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Hear Ennio Morricone legendary scores from Cinema Paradiso, The Hateful Eight, The Mission, and more performed live at Benaroya Hall from 10/2 through 10/4. Enter to win tickets to the 10/3 show!*

• Get ready for some serious honky-tonk. Dwight Yoakam brings decades of country swagger, rhinestones, and that unmistakable voice to Emerald Queen Casino on 11/14. Tickets go on sale tomorrow.

• Consider this your Halloween weekend warm-up. Joseph Capriati brings his marathon-ready techno to Q Nightclub on 10/29. Costumes optional, staying out way too late highly likely.

• Tickets go on sale today, loca! Twilight in Concert brings the movie and its iconic soundtrack to the Paramount Theatre on 3/27. Grab tickets today or enter to win a pair!*

• Plus other just announced shows from Prateek Kuhad, Sleep, and more!
