The highly anticipated ticket update: kawaiicon.org/news/

tl;dr Ticket wave 1 is opening tomorrow @ 10AM NZ, and lots of other very good, very kawaii details in the latest news post! Go digest, and see you tomorrow!

Tell me you have young people in your daily life without saying it:

Meeska Mooska Mickey Mouse!

Yeah maybe it's the roast - I am pretty confident in my technique but still doesn't taste right

The things I miss about living in South Florida is a pretty short list - although top 5 is definitely the cafecito (on the house) while you wait for your coffee+lunch order.

No matter how hard I try I can't replicate Cuban coffee in NZ!

Wicked!

Being offered a credit card after our plane takes off and paying for a luggage cart at the airport? Yep, back in America!

my out of office is on and i have packed all the shorts i own - this must mean i leave for florida VERY soon.

going for 6 weeks this time - with some side-trips to VA, MO (+strange loop), and CA (+qcon). it is going to be a very full-on few weeks!

pre-order one now and we can totally be matching punk trash pandas!

Bookbinding is a stressful hobby for someone with anxiety. Sewing the spine took twice as long as I was panicking about having enough thread, looking up ways to connect more thread, etc - and finished with plenty left.

This is supposed to be relaxing, brain! 🫠

Yeee!

Little Sput loves rice, bread, bananas, black beans - his whole world will explode when he gets to try Cuban food. Then we can all be hangry and miserable when we return to NZ and can't access it anymore 🥲

*gasp* it has a google maps list too! I have never felt so loved before!

Sharing spreadsheets of restaurants that opened since I left FL that I must visit, including a "it is little sput friendly" column, is my love language.

It's also 68 lines long so it is a good thing I'll be there for 6 weeks.

Close up of a beautiful plate of Japanese curry and rice and chicken and I swear it tastes as good as I looks

I hate winter but I sure do enjoy warm winter comfort meals!

Amazing! Good work mate 🤘

Thank you! 🥹 What org are you giving a talk to?

Also *chefs kiss* to NDC Oslo for some sweet as merch!

Lil Sput will be dressed in style with his Kawaiicon shirt and NDC hoodie!

A toddler sized and adult sized hoodie from NDC Oslo, a box of amazing British tea, and some mother trucking amazing milk chocolate digestive biscuits. I am throwing the horns in excitement.

Get yourself an amazing Tita @sarahyo.com who couriers you amazing tea and biscuits AND Lil Sput/Big Sput matching tech hoodies.

(I mean, she is also to blame for getting me addicted to these - her British influence is damn strong)

Absolutely tragic - especially with all the caves/mines that are so bloody dim already!

A box of 4 donuts with different decoration and shapes

Currently hiding in the kitchen eating these because that's what Parenthood is all about - happy mothers day to me!

My weekend will be similar! Except using handheld, buried under an electric blanket
