Benepe's Qwaffle Stand
If the next World Cup is not in New York (and therefore Wafels & Dinges can’t come), I have decided that I am going to set up a limited-engagement Benepe’s Qwaffle Stand where I will make free waffles for players for an hour or two. And host a contest where the winning player gets to skip the line.

tommarksthespot: Let me preface this with a couple things: This is intended to be light-hearted, but not a joke. This is something I have been thinking of saying for a while and can no longer hold in. If you agree with me, please don’t just think to yourself “yeah!” and then move on. Actively try to… This post made me realize that fun and competition are not Harry Potter and...

Joe Moses is a gentleman and a scholar
Joe Moses of Team Starkid (pictured above interviewing me at World Cup) sent me this really sweet email after the event was over:  Hi Alex, Thank you so much for having Britney and I as performers at the World Cup this year. Special thanks for sitting down to be interviewed as well; it really was rather fun. Truly an amazing thing you have going here, and I wish you the upmost success in the...
