As you may or may not know, one of the foundations of the Johnny Cupcakes brand was when John used to sling wrinkled up, gas scented t-shirts out of his crusty suitcase while on tour with his former band. There were even tours where he’d barely pack any clothes for him to wear, so he could make more room for his Johnny Cupcakes gear. Starting this April, JC’s going back to his roots and scheduling an old school Suitcase Tour as a way to meet his many faithful customers scattered across our great country. If you follow The Blot on Twitter, then you already know how excited I am about the upcoming Johnny Cupcakes Suitcase Tour. Johnny Cupcakes is one of my favorite designers/brands, and I’m really looking forward to meeting John during his tour stop here in Houston on April 12th.
John will be driving the CupcakeMobile all around the USA to sling t-shirts out of his suitcase and hang out with the Johnny Cupcakes faithful. It a great way to celebrate the humble beginnings of the Johnny Cupcakes brand, while meeting long time customers from around the country. There will be six suitcase exclusive t-shirts and a few other specials that can only be purchased at tour stops, and each stop on the tour will be hosted by various neat businesses—art galleries, boutiques, bakeries, toy shops, and many others. There will even be some delicious free treats and surprises at most of these stops!
Each tour stop will be video recorded and JC will compile the footage into a video webisode, which will be uploaded every single day. All of the extra footage will eventually be turned into a full documentary of the tour, which will be released at a later date.
