"Best $2k I Ever Spent!" Live From Venice's Abbot Kinney Festival

We know that it's been hard to think about other neighborhood festivals since the untimely demise of Sunset Junction. You were really looking forward to telling your friends you were going for the Lil Jon set and then "ending up" at Hanson, and besides, you're still waiting on your refund. But just like Sunset Junction itself, your money is not coming back, and so hopefully you've already started getting some closure by attending last weekend's completely successful Abbot Kinney Festival in Venice.

No, Bobby Womack didn't play, but somehow it came together all the same.
