obligatory Birchmere food reference....

Post by: bearman🐻 on May 27, 2009, 04:20:21 pm
I think I was the starter of that whole Birchmere food thing. I was blindly trying to figure out if they served food, how heinous it was, etc. because I was working late and didn't have time to eat dinner before a show I was seeing there...so worst case scenario would it be edible. Not like I was going there FOR the food. Buncha smartasses that you all are!! :)

Bets on first person to get hit with a cupcake? I have 1000-1 on that bouncer who gets profiled every year or so for looking all mean and all.
I don't think that person understands how odds work.

CUPCAKES YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

We recently got the Cupcake Stop in NYC (http://www.CupcakeStop.com/), and I've been way spoiled.

I'll get a 930 cupcake at the Grizzly Bear show.

I know, but it's sorta nasty.
Everyone complains about $9 Guinness, I figure I'd mention the $4 water bottle that is cost of a case.

Maybe they could test the ice cream cart...(popsicles, fruit bars, sandwiches, Dove bars...not scoops)

My friend has been twittering about the cupcake stop in NYC!

"The 9:30 Club will debut a signature cupcake this weekend, during -- get this -- two sold-out CAKE shows. And speaking of sold-out cake: "As we will never sell day-olds, we have to under-order every show," 9:30 Club owner Seth Hurwitz in a release. "We expect this will create a secondary cupcake market for scalpers.""

No, that's only if you go with the street corner knock-offs.

LOVE both the concept and that poster!!!! I certainly hope that's real and not just some internet fun.

Hope they have little white (black would be even better!) bags for those of us who might like to buy several after the show to go.

I usually get one every time I visit.  At the Wed. Thievery Corp show, I wound up with an extra one(!) but was stopped on my way out.  The staff told me I couldn't take it out of the venue.  What gives?

the club has a very strict anti-scalping policy.  this includes the re-selling of 930 cupcakes.

also, i believe there might be some licensing issues.  the club can only use its logo on foodstuffs inside the venue.  last i heard the lawyers are still working on it.

there is no such policy...perhaps you were mistakenly identified as a Live Nation employee trying to sneak one out to copy

in any event, you will be contacted for your free makeupcake...you may take it wherever you wish

Any possibility the 9:30 Club could expand its cupcake line to include yellow/vanilla cake and vanilla frosting, with "9:30" written in chocolate frosting?

It's probably mainly because I'm not a chocolate cupcake fan, but my feeling with the 9:30 Club cupcakes so far has been that they look better than they taste.

Nonetheless, I was a little bummed out when one of the female singers from Zero 7 not only hijacked my dressing room while I was doing my opening set for them in November, but also apparently ate the two cupcakes that had been there upon my arrival.  Oh well....

I'm no cupcake connoisseur, and I've only had one, but I thought it was delicious.

I think I posted this in another thread but they're so much better chilled for a bit.
I had one once that seemed to have been in the fridge no less than two minutes prior. The icing was nowhere nearly as gooey which made the cupcake more manageable/less messy. There is also a slight difference in taste between cold and warm icing as strange as that sounds.
