Who Doesn't Like Cupcakes?!

So, today I met a very interesting individual... the world may know him as Johnny Cupcakes! Humble, humble guy! I truly appreciate the fact that he was completely excited to know someone was paying attention!
This is what happened...
I was in the Orlando International Airport (never mind the reason why) and I saw this man walking by with the famous Johnny Cupcakes logo on his t-shirt. Immediately I realized it was from a brand I was introduced to some years back!
Nostalgia took over... I was looking at the website and was utterly floored by the creativity he was putting into his brand! The man is not playing games! Look him up! Dope!
P.S. This is NOT a paid advertisement.
Anywho, I looked at his bag, and of course, it read, Johnny Cupcakes. Down on his ankle was a tattoo of the same logo on his shirt... I said, "No way!"
I walked over to him and like a dummy the only bright thing I could say was, "Are you him?" Hahaha! I'm such a dork!
He said, "Yes, I am him!"
PAUSE!!!
Allow me to add in a lil tid-bit about myself... whenever I hear something that excites me, I tend to project, "Oh, my God! Shut up!"
Okay, RESUME...
Then, I said, " Oh, my God! Shut up!"
He smiled. Me too!
We began talking and he was really pleased to know I was familiar with his brand. It was almost as if he just started and he found his first fan! He was such a nice guy and I can tell he appreciates people who appreciate what he does. He informed me of his Suitcase Tour that would be heading back this way in the upcoming days... You know I'm going with my partner in crime!
He said, "Would you like a picture?"
Of course, I wanted to, but certain limitations held me reluctant. But we did anyway! I'm a rebel! (Shhh... don't tell!)
He made a funny face.
Awwwh.
The end.
