---23/52--- Summerfest

Earlier last week WOULD have marked the end of Summerfest. Whether you are a fan or not, Summerfest IS Milwaukee. Nowhere else in the world do this many performers converge in one place for 11 days. It’s really sad to see it canceled. I’ve spent the last 11 years in this city, and I’ve grown accustomed to hearing the echo of nightly fireworks from late June to early July. It just feels like summer. With that said... 800,000 people in a tightly confined space is definitely not ideal right now. So, although it’s missed... it will be back. Now... what’s with the tap beer illustration? I wanted to focus on a micro detail of such a massive operation... the beer stands are constantly busy. Beers being poured and slid to customers one after the next. And for some reason we all seem to just accept the fact that a Leinie’s costs $9.00.... I miss that.
