(And I'm overdue on a full report of the SUPER FUN cupcake bingo I attended last month - coming soon, I promise! For now, I can say I highly recommend it, the cupcakes are delicious, bingo is cool and you stand a decent chance of winning, the market is really fun, and there's a place you can buy red velvet cake ice cream there.)
