Sooo I didn't get RIGHT to posting about This is Hardcore.

But I still am reliving it in my head every time I look at the pictures.
The crowd, the bands, the customers, and the crew and family of TIHC made the trip so worth while.
We can not wait until NEXT YEAR!! 

We had a little fun with the menu. 
Being Jeremy is in a hardcore band- that happened to play-- Hello, 100 Demons. (plug plug plug!) 
He grew up listening to a lot of the bands playing, or he has played with.

I just felt like a fan girl half the time, or a creative baking/clever name genius.


Well... No, I wasn't a fan girl- I mean I love hardcore music- but it wasn't like Buddy Holly was reincarnated and I was watching him play. But, Lou from Sick of It All- made me freak a bit. 
His wife- who might possibly be one of the prettiest, sweetest girls I've met- came up to the truck to tell us how much she loved Ignite. Ummm yes! It made me love her even more.
Then stated we needed a Sick of it All Cupcake. 
Not only did we love this idea and last minute couldn't think of anything.
Luckily Melissa, Lou's wife REALLY thought about it.
I mean REALLY thought about it. And I can't even say how much I loved that- one- it is something I would do for my husband. two- her ideas made sense and were clever, and cute and delcious combos! and three- it showed she really appreciated our company, and supported it. 

Isn't that what it is all about anyway- supporting local businesses, bands, bakeries... 
Between the awesome food trucks that were there that welcomed us- and all the vendors, it really did feel like a close knit group. 
 This is Vermalicious- If you are in the Philly area- GO FIND THIS TRUCK! Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese?!  AMAZING! 
 This is FOO TRUCK. I am in love with how this truck is designed. Again- the food is awesome, and really cool guys with a gourmet twist on their food! 
 I mean... the guy loves Cupcakes and 100 Demons. Well done my friend! 

Our customers from Japan. We aren't even in a band and we sold T Shirts to people in Japan, Germany, Iceland, and England- and of course many kids from the states! 


This is Furnace. Human Furnace. I like to tease Jeremy and say this is Jeremys "Man Crush". I remember at a wedding of a friend, Furance was there- and my husband wouldn't leave his side. Everything he said was the most interesting thing he ever heard, and asked him if he needed a drink more then his wife.
Actually I don't think he even knew I was there the entire wedding.
I'm ok with this because well, The Human Furnace
- the singer of Ringworm is a bad ass dude. He is nice, and friendly and wanted a pickle juice cupcake!
We settled with a Hard Cider and Fireball Whisky Frosting Cupcake. Which is now on the menu- because it went over so well.

Umm yeah - Did I FORGET to mention... GWAR?!?!?!
FUCKING GWAR! 
Blood Spewing GWAR! 
Long story short- these were the NICEST, Friendliest people we have ever met.

I mean- they eat body parts, and drink blood and do insane things that will give people nightmares. 

We had such a blast- and came home to just go right back into so many more fun and crazy events.
