Firefly Funnel Cake Fandango: The Adventure Begins
Hey Funnel Cake nutters. It’s Chillie’s son, Jason. Dad gave you a little peek behind the curtain last week, but I wanted to let you know that you’re in for a regular roller coaster ride here on BigRedFunnelCakes.com this week. We’re going to be using Dad’s blog to share videos, blog posts and more on our big road trip.
Buckle up. This is gonna be fun.
Big Red - Coming To See You!
About a year ago, I showed Dad Twitter. When he started chatting with all the freaks and geeks in Internetland, he said, “I’d love to go to one of these conferences and meet all these folks.” So here we go.
Big Red, Dad and I are road trippin’ it to Austin, Texas, to bring Firefly Funnel Cake Fandango to South by Southwest, one of the largest Interactive, film and music conferences in the world. But we’re stopping along the way to make sure as many people as possible get some of that Funnel Cake Fandango magic.
Each night this week, starting tomorrow, Dad will pull Big Red up to an exclusive location and serve funnel cakes to anyone willing to buy. Firefly Vodka thought the trip was a cool idea and is sponsoring our shenanigans, too. Drink specials will be had, my friends. (Not to mention, Dad’s been working on a special Firefly Vodka funnel cake glaze. So much for my diet, right?)
We’re stopping at three exclusive locations en route and we want you to join us for a Firefly Funnel Cake Fandango FEEDUP:
Tuesday, March 9
Nashville, Tennessee – Corner Pub, 2000 Broadway
Wednesday, March 10
Little Rock, Arkansas – Big Whiskeys – 225 E. Markham Street
Thursday, March 11
Dallas, Texas – Black Finn’s – 4440 Beltline Road – Addison
The trip culminates with our opening night in Austin, Friday, March 12, for the official Firefly Funnel Cake Fandango at Molotov on West Sixth. Check out the RSVP page on Eventbrite. Social Media Explorer (my company) and Blue Clover Studios join forces with Firefly Vodka to put on a regular hootenanny. Come see some killer augmented reality, taste test (or just taste … or test) Firefly Vodka, get one of Dad’s famous funnel cakes (special ones have the Firefly glaze) and hang with some cool cats.
Austin is nuts and parties abound on Friday night. But it doesn’t take much to swing by for a funnel cake! We’ll be there from 8:30 until 1 … or so.
Nashville … Little Rock … Dallas … Austin … We can’t wait to hang with ya. Come see Dad, me, get a funnel cake and try some Firefly. Oh … and drink responsibly. See you soon.
