SDMSM started in 2009 when some metalheads wanted to get rid of some of their metal shirts, CDs and records but not sell them on ebay. The idea started as a yard sale and soon moved to a "heavy metal swap meet" after some organizing, San Diego Metal Swap Meet vol 1 happened on April 25, 2009 in Brian's (organizer) driveway and front yard. This had the success of about 20 vendors and over 250 attendees.
To follow up this event we knew we outgrew the driveway and would have to hold it somewhere larger. We found The Queen Bee's Art & Cultural Center in the San Diego neighborhood of North Park. For the second edition of SDMSM we had 32 vendors and over 500 attendees in total. We also improved the event by providing a beer garden and a live band (To Violently Vomit). This proved to be a total success and ensured that the demand was great enough for an event like that to continue on with the annual event.
SDMSM Vol 3 is approaching and we are planning it for spring 2011. Keep an eye on this profile for the most up to date information on this unique event.
