Well, if our lapse in posting an update is any indication, the Firefly Funnel Cake Fandango Friday night was a huge success. Molotov was packed from 8:30 until after 2 a.m. and the buzz on the street in Austin was that Fandango was the party to be at on night one of South by Southwest. Tom Martin tried to capture the magic, but I got the in way with an orange boa someone draped around me. Here's the recap:

What an awesome time. Big props to Molotov for the locale, the City of Austin for not running dad off too much, all the kick-ass people who came to party with us and, of course, Firefly Vodka for making Fandango possible. We had fun, introduced a lot of people to Firefly Vodka (you should try it if you haven't) and sold a few funnel cakes along the way, too. And in case you couldn't hear it, the lovely young lady in the video was the famous fashion blogger, Erika Lehmann of ChicShopperChick.com. The dude buying funnel cakes was my buddy Chuck Hemann. Dad will report back on his Austin adventures soon. In the meantime, follow him on Twitter.

We had just a good time in Nashville Tuesday night, we thought we'd recap it for you with some highlights in the video below. Firefly Funnel Cake Fandango moves on to Little Rock Wednesday! See you in Arkansas!

The musicians you saw in the video are Clay Canfield and Megan Ellis. Go check them out. They were really fun to hang with and put on good shows.

And another big thank you to Wheel for helping us out at the last minute. Onward ho! Here we come Little Rock.

On the cusp of the first Firefly Funnel Cake Fandango, I thought I'd introduce everyone to Dad (@chilliefalls on Twitter) via video and ask the question everyone seems to want to know: A funnel cake trailer? WTF?

Some last minute technical difficulties moved our first stop to Wheel in Nashville, but Big Red made it. We'll be rocking the #fandango from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. tonight and can't wait to see everyone in Nashvegas! Here's my first report from the road, which features a surprise appearance by Firefly Vodka. (Purely coincidental. I swear.): Firefly Funnel Cake Fandango Day 1 - Arrival at the Wheel from Jason Falls on Vimeo. Special thanks to Wheel and Robert Lee for the last minute accommodations. And a BIG thank you to Beth from Broad Band - an all female country group playing next door who let me move her truck to fit Big Red in out front. And to the construction crew two doors down that let us have the other half parking place we needed. See y'all on Music Row tonight!

Hey Funnel Cake nutters. It's Chillie's son, Jason. Dad gave you a little peek behind the curtain last week, but I wanted to let you know that you're in for a regular roller coaster ride here on BigRedFunnelCakes.com this week. We're going to be using Dad's blog to share videos, blog posts and more on our big road trip. Buckle up. This is gonna be fun. [caption id="attachment_398" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Big Red - Coming To See You!"] [/caption] About a year ago, I showed Dad Twitter. When he started chatting with all the freaks and geeks in Internetland, he said, "I'd love to go to one of these conferences and meet all these folks." So here we go. Big Red, Dad and I are road trippin' it to Austin, Texas, to bring Firefly Funnel Cake Fandango to South by Southwest, one of the largest Interactive, film and music conferences in the world. But we're stopping along the way to make sure as many people as possible get some of that Funnel Cake Fandango magic. Each night this week, starting tomorrow, Dad will pull Big Red up to an exclusive location and serve funnel cakes to anyone willing to buy. Firefly Vodka thought the trip was a cool idea and is sponsoring our shenanigans, too. Drink specials will be had, my friends. (Not to mention, Dad's been working on a special Firefly Vodka funnel cake glaze. So much for my diet, right?) We're stopping at three exclusive locations en route and we want you to join us for a Firefly Funnel Cake Fandango FEEDUP: Tuesday, March 9 Nashville, Tennessee - Corner Pub, 2000 Broadway Wednesday, March 10 Little Rock, Arkansas - Big Whiskeys - 225 E. Markham Street Thursday, March 11 Dallas, Texas - Black Finn's - 4440 Beltline Road - Addison The trip culminates with our opening night in Austin, Friday, March 12, for the official Firefly Funnel Cake Fandango at Molotov on West Sixth. Check out the RSVP page on Eventbrite. Social Media Explorer (my company) and Blue Clover Studios join forces with Firefly Vodka to put on a regular hootenanny. Come see some killer augmented reality, taste test (or just taste ... or test) Firefly Vodka, get one of Dad's famous funnel cakes (special ones have the Firefly glaze) and hang with some cool cats. Austin is nuts and parties abound on Friday night. But it doesn't take much to swing by for a funnel cake! We'll be there from 8:30 until 1 ... or so. Nashville ... Little Rock ... Dallas ... Austin ... We can't wait to hang with ya. Come see Dad, me, get a funnel cake and try some Firefly. Oh ... and drink responsibly. See you soon.
