who is Abbot Kinney?


(not Abbot Kinney)

if you answered the founder of "The Venice of America",  you are correct.  today's street festival in Venice Beach was on Abbot Kinney Blvd., in between Venice Blvd. and Main Street.  i read somewhere that around 150,000 people will come to today's one-day street festival from 10am-630pm.  i arrived around 230pm and i would say 150,000 people was very accurate.  i did see some wonderful musicians. the two main musicians that i wanted to see were Jesca Hoop and Chris Pierce. excellent but so was Stephanie Quayle, Brian Wright and the Waco Tragedies, and Greg Laswell.  here's a few photos with a few more to come.  quite a difference from yesterday's adventure.
