In case you were wondering how the eBay sale of the Hamburger Bed turned out, we received news from Kayla Kromer, the bed's creator, that it sold for over $3,000 to an out of town buyer. Comedian Neil Hamburger, who had a show at Emo's on Friday, put in a huge last minute push for the giant sandwich's sale by taking promo pictures and posting about it online. As for what the future holds for Kromer? She is working on a new bed, and she promises to let us know about its forthcoming "big reveal". In the meantime, she gave us three clues - it's round, from a movie, and not food. "So everyone's dreams of a Hot Dog bed are going to have to be self-realized," Kromer encourages.
