Sprinkles

Greetings from the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach, CA... I'm here for the AVP Manhattan Beach Open this weekend - one of our clients is a sponsor, so we're here for work. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it... ; )

We flew into LA this morning and had a very uneventful flight. Our hotel is beautiful -- right on the water, with balconies off each room. I took a couple pictures, which I'll share, but I'll get better ones in daylight when I can get the view out the back. There are even sea lions out in the harbor -- they're kinda noisy, but the hotel provides free earplugs if it bothers you... : )

We didnt really have any work obligations today, which was nice... But one of my favorite radio reps drove up from San Diego with her husband, one of my favorite DJs/promo directors, to take us out to dinner. We had a great time with Tina and Geoff -- it's too bad they live so far away. Tina and I have worked together for 3ish years now and she's one of a handful of radio reps who has really become a friend over the years. We had a wonderful time at dinner and I'm so glad they were able to meet up with us.

As if taking us out for dinner wasn't enough.... For as long as I've known her, Tina has been talking about Sprinkles cupcakes. Apparently all the celebs eat them and they're just to die for. So Tina and Geoff braved the miserable LA traffic to stop by a Sprinkles on the way to meet us.

I promised Tina a full recap -- with pictures -- so here you have it....our first Sprinkes... The one with the pink and yellow dots on top was lemon, the white icing with chocolate sprinkles is called the "black and white" -- a combo of dark chocolate and white chocolate icing, and the dark one was "mocha" -- chocolate cupcake with mocha frosting.


We each had to sample all three of them...Molly did the honors of splitting them up...


Yeah, they were pretty freaking good. I liked the lemon a lot more than I thought I would, but I think I'd have to say that my fav of the three was the black and white. I'm a big fan of icing, and it was really fantastic. What am I saying...they were all fantastic...

Many, many thanks, Tina and Geoff, for coming out to see us. And for dinner. And for the cupcakes. And for the station goodies and CDs. And for making my job SO easy every summer. And just for being two of my favorites! : )
