Summerfest

Summerfest is always a fun thing. Gives us a chance to get out in the nice* weather...see all of the incredibly talented people, and wish i was among them. Buy some yummy food, of course a funnel cake or two. Oh the funnel cakes...In our case...two. And also maybe buy something cool. So we walked all through summerfest, which was mostly artists this year as apposed to other years. And i still had my $20 bucks in my pocket. I was a little sad. I wanted something cool. BUT then we realized we had completely missed one whole big long line of booths! Yay! So we walked down and like the second one we came to was this tiny booth and the guys name was Kevin Eslinger. Right off the bat, me and Jason saw this Abraham Lincoln drawing and knew we had to have it.

Jason-"How much for Abe?"

Kevin E.- "$10"

Jason--(mouth hanging open..."really? I'll take it."

So we went home with this cool Abe Lincoln.

Then the next day after looking on his website, I decided I wanted to go back and get maybe one or two more.

Nellie--"Do you have any Beatles portraits?"

Kevin--"Beatles as in the Beatles?"

Nellie--(um...hello...yes.) "yeah"

Kevin-"I might have something in here I did for Wall Street Journal. Let me check. Yeah, here you go. It's not on the best paper, and it's only John...$2 bucks if you want it."

Nellie--(holy crap...only $2 bucks!!!) YEAH! I'll take it. And how much for these other 2?"

Kevin--"$10 for the 2 of them."

So we walked away happy, bewildered people. His stuff was SO cool, and SO cheap! I forgot to take a picture of Abe. I'll try and remember to take one later. It's the coolest. But here are the others we got.

I'm trying to contact him to get the other 3 Beatles. Gotta have a complete set right?

John and Yoko--Nellie's pick

The Singing Boy--Nellie's pick

Humpty Dumpty--Jason's pick

*Nice=insanely hot and icky
