Trippin': Austin - Hey Cupcake!

1600 Block of S. Congress
Austin, TX 78704

There's always all this stuff I want to go see and do whenever I go to Austin but there's never enough time to squeeze everything in. Boo! But luckily, thanks to all the accommodating doods I was with, they tried their best to help scratch off as many things on list as possible. The first thing was to hit up Hey Cupcake!. What was the appeal? Well, for one, they sell their cupcakes from this super shiny metal polished airstreamed trailer with a giganto cupcake spinning up top. For two, I like cupcakes. For three, a lot of people keep talking about it. So I knew I just had to try it out! OMGawd the cupcakes were so GUT! I ordered like eight cupcakes but only had one. Portion peoples! The only one that I tried was the Vanilla Dream: vanilla bottom, vanilla top. I'm craving one right now as we speak. The icing is incredibly light and fluffy. It's a bit sweet but HEY, it's a CUPCAKE! Get it? You know, I love chocolate but for some reason, I can't bring myself to eat chocolate cupcakes when there are other choices. I'd eat it if there was nothing but chocolate cupcakes. Most of us went for the vanilla ones, the chocolate ones pretty much went to waste. My friend had the 24 Carrot and said it was good. Supposedly the most poplulare ones are the red velvet and the Michael Jackson (chocolate bottom with cream cheese frosting) but of course, they had already ran out for the day. Oh well, I prolly wouldn't have tried either one since I'm not big on cream cheese frosting. Cream cheese on bagel? Yes please! But on cake or cupcake? No thanks!

Long lines always!

Other things along side of this yummy cupcake trailer vehicle thing:

Cupcakes!

Girls have a sixth sense. Extra intuition. I got this shot of this lady pose-eating a cupcake. Her eyes are closed.

So how? HOW? HOW did she know that I was also taking a picture of her?!? We both laughed after she caught me catching her pose-eating.

So I tried to copy her. Cos she looked rather cute doing it. I however did not fare as well. I have like some sort of chipmunk ferret face morphology. So yeah, I did not look as cute. Hah!

Someone enjoyed their cupcakes so much so that they dropped and left their bleaching tray!

Restaurant: Russo's NY Coal-Fired Pizzeria

19817 Northwest Freeway, 300
Houston, TX 77065

I've never been to any of the New York Pizzeria's around town but my aunt wanted to meet up at her favo pizza place up north and I love pizza so I was game. We went to Russo's New York Coal-Fired Pizzeria, which at the time, I did not know that it was part of the New York Pizzeria chain. I'm thinking that Russo's is better and a tad fancier. The garlic bread was heaven. I could not put the greasy carbo-load down. The pizza was ok. I think I like cheapy pizza's better, i.e. Totino's, but it was still really good. Even though I was frackin' full, we ended up ordering two biggo slices of dessert. Red velvet for the cousin who had been craving it ever since she landed, and an oreo cheesecake which always looks good to me. Unfortunately, I was so full that I only took one bite of each. Oh, in my younger days, I would have eaten both slices by myself regardless of how full my tummy was. The interior decor was pretty cool. Very pizza goth is that makes any sense. Man. I'm so hungry. I wish I could eat garlic bread everyday and not gain any weight. Or have a heart attack.

Trippin': Vancouver - Residuals

My surplus of Vancouver fotos:

We stayed at Delta Suites Hotel. The rooms are small, but the bedroom is separate from the living room.

I know this may be pretty gross, but I'm pretty sure I have a fascination with poop. We were walking to get some coffee and lo and behold, some giganto poopy on the sidewalk. I just had to take a picture! I'm sure the people passing by thot I was weird. Oh well. I like it when people think I'm weird.

Why are Vancouverans so cool? Cos when I was attempting to take a foto of this wall that had this cool painting on it, two of them jumped into the frame to vogue for me. Awesomeness!

Snow on day three.

More chestnut stands.

The crappiest club ever was the one below. The people who work there are complete idiots. Clipboards and all. I won't get into how retarded the workers here all.

I love getting boba drinks. Even though I don't like the bobas. I'm drawn to boba places. When I see a place, I suddenly crave for some. So it was no diff in Vancouver. I saw a place called Teahouse and went right in. I got a milk tea, of course. It's not as good as the one at the Teahouse here in Houston, but it still wasn't bad. It tasted close to how the milk tea tastes from Cafe 101.

These little toy machines are everywhere!

We stopped by the Urban Behavior Outlet. It looks pretty crappy inside, but the clothes are cute and cheap!

The Vancouver airport is really cute! Just how many Asian live and visit Vancouver? Enough that all the signs also translated in Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
