Market preview was great. I will definitely plan to do this in future years; it's so much better when the market isn't all crazy crowded!
My plan for Thursday night was to use it as my "scoping out" night, but not buy anything. I ended up buying two skeins of yarn from Pico Accuardi Dyeworks that were in a "$5 Each, Preview Night Only" bin.

Oh, well.
