Cupcakes and Robots

1st Step:
There is a lovely gourmet cupcake place on Lincoln St in the Vista astutely named Cupcake. They sell a myriad of cupcake flavors like Red Velvet, Bourbon Pecan Pie, Chocolate Raspberry, Black & White, Caramel Macchiato, Key Lime and (my personal favorite) Chocolate Peanut Butter. Now, how is this cheap or free you may ask? Well, let me explain.

Cupcake does a Power Hour once a month. I have had difficulty pinning down the exact timing of said Power Hours, but I now have a general idea of when they happen. The past ones have occurred thusly:

January 10, 2:30-3:30
February 13, 3-4:00
March 14, 10:30-11:30
April 16, 2-3:00
May 15, 10:30-11:30
June 13, 3-4:00

So, I think it is safe to assume a Power Hour will occur before or after lunch between the 10th and 16th of the month. It seems like they shoot for the 15th...but I'm sure there are other factors involved. Follow them on Twitter or Facebook and be alerted to the Power Hours! We do!

You can also sign up for their Birthday Club and get a FREE cupcake during your birthday month.

2nd Step:
A couple doors down from Cupcake are some art galleries, If Art and Lewis & Clark. My son LOVES to go into Lewis & Clark to see the lamps robots! They are galleries so looking is FREE! Yay! Cupcakes and Robots all in one spot!! Oh my!! Now, if Lewis & Clark is closed, the people at If Art will take you through the back. We've done this more often than not. Plus, If Art has the great ceramic work of Peter Lenzo on display! ENJOY!

In these art galleries you will find flyers for other art events. This provided a lead to an exciting FREE opportunity as well! More on that to come!
