cans for comments

I originally stumbled upon the cans for comments concept when they requested to follow me on Twitter. Â I read through their description quickly one morning, hit accept, and went on my merry way. Â My scan through the description didn’t actually process anything through my brain at that early hour one day except “not spam”. Â A few days later, I clicked on someone’s blog post on Twitter. Â Emily Porter‘s to be exact. Â I read through the post and I loved it. Â Maybe it just takes more than 140 characters for me to realize awesomeness. Â I love the idea!

Cotton candy spun around prime rib satays, the most delicious mini burger ever, pretzel knots (get it? knots…), mini funnel cakes with parmesean…mmmm mmmm good! I wish I had taken pictures, but between business cards, glasses, plates, etc, I couldn’t handle carrying one more thing I do however want to say thank you to everyone who put together the great event! It is always great
