This past friday I stopped by Johnny Cupcakes’s Suitcase Tour which made a stop at Georgetown. The lines were pretty long, but drew a overall friendly crowd. While in line I met a couple cool folks. Luis from True Prospeks, and Karpe from Karpe the Day. They were telling me how Johnny had been a huge inspiration for them both, and how they both hoped to make it in the business. We all agreed on one thing, 9 to 5’s just ain’t for us. They had a couple of tees with them from their respective brands which they planned on giving to Johnny. Their tees were pretty dope, so I’m hoping we might collab on a project or two sometime in the near future.

After some time waiting in line we finally made it into the cupcake shop. Shout out to my man Peter for hookin it up with some bomb coconut cupcakes. Got my hands on some on some cool stuff to get signed.  The man himself was a cool, laid back, calm, eclectic character. Not a lot designers will actually come out to show some love to the people, its good to see some who care. Not only caring for his fans, but also for students by lecturing at Universities. Johnny Cupcakes is an all around G  and a beast at tic tac toe. My boy got embarrassed on his own tie-box, but it’s all good he got to rock the hat.

Shout out the whole Johnny Cupcakes team, they were all real cool. I’m stopping by and checking ya’ll out if  I’m ever in Boston. This was a chill event where everyone had a good time, except for the Georgetown Cupcake regulars that couldn’t get their hands on their cupcakes as quick as usual. Check the group pic below, and shout out to Benson from Imaginary Zebra. Johnny told us you guys met.

   i saw a line outside the cupcake spot and i was like “damn, people are hungry as shit today.” now it all makes sense. glad he came to our city, wish he made more noise, cuz normally i catch wind of those kind of things. am i a johnny cupcake fan? not really. i respect his hustle and brand, though. the gear isn’t for me, but his mindset and mentality is.
