The legend of Johnny Cupcake continues to build steam and momentum. The one-time entrepreneur of the year stopped through San Diego while I happened to be there. Of course I made the effort to see the shenanigans first had. What I saw was both mesmerizing and inspirational, imagine hundreds of crazed graphic t-shirt enthusiast lined up en mass to see a true maestro. Doors opened at 7pm at 5&A Dime (one of my favorite boutiques on the west coast) and people had begun lining up outside days earlier. I’m not one for lines so I grabbed a brew (or two or three…) across the street and waited out the line. I was told that Johnny would see everyone that came out no matter how long it took…evidence below.
That’s me (right) and the MENG! It was well past 11:00pm by the time I actually got to do the meet and greet, lets just say he was looking kinda tired, but he didn’t dissapoint…just look at that goofy as pose!
