The cake in question
I can’t get this Offbeat Bride post out of my mind.
More specifically, I can’t get this quote out of my mind: “And the cake was from SAFEWAY.” Yes, the bride wrote the name of the grocery store in all caps, and rightfully so. Because who does that?
This couple does that. And they rocked it, too.
A grocery-store cake takes some chutzpah. Because I’m pretty sure the Indie DIY Wedding Club would have revoked their membership after a move like that. “It has come to our attention that the bride neglected to hand-craft her cake from organic fair-trade ingredients. Your wedding is made of FAIL.”
On a completely different note: Has anybody ever pulled Steve Perry aside and quietly pointed out that OH HAI, THERE IS NO SOUTH DETROIT. There is just water. City boy must have been born and raised a fish? Next time you make a fist-pumping, guitar-soloing sing-a-long bar anthem you should double check a map, sir.

Jason’s favorite cake is grocery store cake. No joke. Not that we’re doing cake, but really, Safeway cake is hardly a fail. It gives me nostalgia for sugar-fueled birthday party joy. And, um, it’s cake. So yay.
i think that every time i hear “don’t stop believing” – especially since they used to play it in louie’s a lot, and my detroit-raised coworker and i would look at each other and say “south detroit is A LAKE!”
