Cake Wrecks

I was inspired by a friend to be brave and go on an adventure by myself. I wanted to go, but was very hesitant since I would probably have to go by myself. I finally bit the bullet and told myself that if Amy did it, then I should at least try it.

I decided to go to the "Cake Wrecks World Tour." They had a stop here in Salt Lake City tonight. My friend had mentioned when she went to a book signing there that she had trouble with parking so I mapped it and had the address on my phone so that I could find it easily. I also made sure that I would get there early to find parking and to hopefully get a seat. From all the other stops it looks like it is often standing room only. I got there about 15 minutes early and got a seat! Though the screen was so low that it was hard to see the bottom of it. Maybe standing would have been better. :(

At the events they have a cupcake contest. I entered but I knew mine was lame enough that it wouldn't win anything, but I had fun trying to compile a bunch of wrecks. Can you spot them all?



After getting all ready to go and doing nothing but think about this all day I am off!



Here is a picture of John taking pictures of the crowd. He sometimes writes for the blog and is the hubby of Jen.



They started off with a slide show of their favorites. I was proud of myself for recognizing most of them from the blog. Then they moved on to a Q&A. Nothing great to report there. While waiting to be able to go get my books signed I went and had some cake that was donated to the cause. Here is a picture of I think the cutest one.



While waiting in line I think John got lost, but he was willing to pose for a picture for me!



If you can't read his shirt it says:
Haiku's are easy
Sometimes they don't make sense
Refrigerator

I am happy to report that Jen decided to go with the boots.



Me with Jen and John!


I had so much fun and am very glad I went, even though I was very nervous, especially as I was getting off of the freeway and approaching the book store, though I didn't say ANY of the things I thought about all day. Oh well! :D

P.S. I also remembered to get an epbot pin! I was so glad that she hadn't run out. I feel like a giddy teenager. sigh
