Robicelli's

Flavors: Friday, June 23rd

Well it’s official………all you jerks on Twitter who have been complaining about getting sick during the summer have given me your sinus mumbo jumbo, and I want to die.  GYYYAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

Fortunately, I didn’t have to bake tonight- Matt and the apprentices covered it perfectly.  So I did the only logical thing one can do when it feels like your eyeballs are about to explode out of your face and rattle around the room like a couple of ping pong balls filled with killer bees on methamphetamines- I scheduled as many meetings as I possibly could and ran around the city all day.

I finally got to pop my head into our new location downtown- Battery Place Market- and holy crap is it nice in there! (how’s that for an endorsement, huh?) Delicious Stumptown iced coffee, free wi-fi…..AND I learned that not only do they deliver breakfast lunch and dinner downtown, but they will also deliver cupcakes!  Take note of THAT next time you’re ordering lunch, Financial District!

Then in the early evening I was invited to Google headquarters to hear more about their new service Google Places.  I was really stoked about this, because we never get invited to ANYTHING fun where we don’t have to work a teensy bit, nor are we ever given appetizers or complimentary pens, which are pretty much our two favorite things ever.  However, right when I got there was when my sinuses blew up, and then during the important part of the presentation I got a phone call I really had to take, so I’m still not entirely sure what went on.  Important part, however, is I got to chill with Danny Macaroons, who’s one of our favorite people in the whole world and destined to become our BFF whether he likes it or not.  

Now that I’m home I’m popping some Mucinex and going to spend an hour or two poking around Google Places to find out what’s up.  So if for some reason when you get to work all of Google has mysteriously crashed, it’s probably because of me. Apologies in advance, Google.  But thank you for the lovely tote bag!

Time for cupcakes!  TWO flavors returning from the vault from last year- working on ways to make them year round flavors if they take off.  If you like them, let us know what you think!
