At the swap meet and interview with Louise Spangler on issues and concerns of swap meet activities; two women bartering over spatula, two-shot of people discussing their ticket from authorities, the land being owned by the California Teacher’s Association, etc. are well covered on this tape. However, dust on lenses is also on tape and is visually distracting for much of the time. (Spots on lenses are less evident on the CU, more noticeable on MS.) Louise Spangler is worth gleaning over a second time; Rolling Stone also cruises by in his van through swap meet area.
