Johnny Cupcakes Lecture

I know its only Saturday, but I have had a pretty eventful weekend. Today actually feels like Sunday for me, so that makes tomorrow Monday? or I'm getting a double-Sunday? 

So Manuel, Jake, and I were able to attend the Johnny Cupcakes seminar at Sacramento State this past Thursday. It was really inspiring. He talked about how he started his business, the way it grew, the struggles he went through, his life. The whole thing lasted about 4 hours long, but it was well worth it. It's not often you can go to the lecture of a guy who runs a multi-million dollar business by selling t-shirts with cupcakes on them. 


p.s. since the seminar was held at a college, of course it required a parking permit. i didn't want to shell out the extra 5 bucks for the all day parking pass so i had to improvise... you'll see :)


p.p.s. he held a Q&A after his lecture (along with a nickelodeon trivia game lol) and i asked him what his favorite bands were. first two bands were Deftones and Glassjaw. just thought i'd share that interesting tidbit.

gotta start our day off with some Milano's pizza.

and we got there like an hour early

So every seat at the seminar had this little goody bag under it.

some people got money ($1-$100) in their goody bags. i got a piece of candy.

who needs 100 bucks though when you can have a Mario Lopez card :)

i would put this on my backpack but my last Amoba Music pin fell right off.

the program

out of the whole lecture he gave, i think this slide really sunk into me.
