Sweet Spot

Oh, why do I love Austin so, sooo much? There's a delight around every corner, something to make you laugh or smile all the time. We turned a corner today, and found this amazing treat. A streamline trailer selling THE MOST AMAZING cupcakes. Note the cupcake on top of the trailer. And the guy on the side playing guitar, amp included. While I was making my order, a guy in a evil monkey costume jumped in the back (quick reference back to the Land of Oz). Hilarious.

My cupcake choice: The Michael Jackson (black on the inside, white on the outside...chocolate w/cream cheese frosting). See, you smiled, right??

And speaking of good beer...

...it's right up the road from you Wichitans. Met my seester Kelli and her husband Ed for an Irish Festival outside of Kansas City in Weston, MO. Quaint little town full of Irish folk, and a very cool brewery to boot. These guys converted the old brewery's underground storage areas into bars. Large areas totally encased in limestone blocks, arched walkways, and retro-fitted band stands, all a few stories underground. SO COOL. Although, we did feel like it was too packed due to the festival and we should definitely come back for an "off-season" weekend. Especially since crazy drunks tend to break limbs on the keg ramp down below, blocking the entrance.
