Joy the Baker

You + Me = Picnic?

June 3, 2009

Me in a tree.  Wanna join me?

The truth is… I think we should totally hang out.  You and me, and you, and you and me.  Can we get together!?

I mean it.  It’s just about summer, it’s beautiful outside, the parks are just begging us to visit, and we’re still wading our way through this financial mess.  In other words… we’re kinda broke and it’s sunny out, right?

What say we all get together for a picnic?  No joke.  We’ll have lemonade and cupcakes, we’ll throw around a Frisbee (don’t worry, I suck), I’ll bring some cookies to decorate,  loads of them… we can talk about baking and blogging and anything else we’re equally obsessed with.  It’s on me.  Are you in?

Think of it as one of those fancy blogging conventions except with cupcakes and waaaay more fun.

I haven’t planned this whole shin dig yet.  It’s still just a thought bubble floating above my head.  What I need to know is… well…  if you’re in the Los Angeles area, would you come?  For real.  Be honest.  Don’t let me throw a party and buy balloons and then not show up.

If you think you’d like to come to a Joy the Baker Big Fat Picnic Party where I bake things and you come eat them… if you think you’d bring your friends and family and dogs and birds… then leave a comment in this post expressing interest.  Be real.  I need to know if I’m an absolute maniac for dreaming something like this up or not.  Your thoughts, I need ‘em.

Picnic?  Discuss.

1Cupcakes as far as the eye can see

Oh!  What if I promise to bring some of these!?

  • Did not know you lived in L.A.! I’m totally there!

  • Wow, that sounds like great fun to bad I’m in VA but I’ll be in LA at the end of August. *boo hiss*. I look forward to hearing about all the goodness, though!

  • I’m a little late but if you haven’t already had it, I would love it! I live in the LA area too!! Sorry to all the international readers, etc. but lucky me! When, when, when???

  • If it hasn’t happened yet, when?

  • Am I too late? I just discovered you. I’m in LA and I’d love to come to the cupcake picnic! Okay, caveat time: you know how LA is. Westside-ish, yes. Further afield, especially on a sweltering summer day…I might flake. Just being honest.

  • Oh, what a terrific idea. I’d be there if it were 2000 miles closer! I wanna hear all the details tho. My first time to your site…love it…will bookmark for sure :)

  • I live in LA, picnic sounds good to me…Love your website!

  • Ohhhh just found out about you. Will you have another picnic when spring comes?
