a slightly stream of conscious love letter

You guys! We got nominated for Daily Candy’s Sweetest Things 2009 in December and we were soooo happy but then we were like “we can’t go pushing hardcore for votes because we just did that” for the Good Morning America thing which was CRI-ZAZY because we only had one measly day to get you guys to vote and it was SATURDAY no less but y’all showed up in DROVES and we got half of the total votes leaving the other three trucks to split up the other 50% which was totally jaw-dropping and made us cry in public (but we were at a wedding that day so we just mixed the tears in with the joyous nuptial tears because it’s super touching to see people you love get married) ANYHOW we didn’t want you guys to think we’re megalomaniacs and that we’ve taken our eye off of what’s important (GRUB) in favor of amassing certificates of awesomeness. So we kinda mentioned it like twice during the month+ long voting period by burying it in tweets with links to the voting page and we didn’t even say what the link was to but would just say like “hey if you’re bored at work” or something and then link but whatever we said you guys clicked through more than 300 times!which we know because we use that bit.ly thing that tracks all that stuff but ANYWAYS you guys totally ran with it! on your own! the nomination got mentioned a few times by cool folks who have experienced the aloha we’re servin’ up and y’all RT’d and RV’d and OPP’d and whatever else, and we won! Daily Candy Sweetest Thing 2009! and that is so awesome!because we love Daily Candy and people who subscribe to it are cool in-the-know folks and it was enough just to be nominated. honest! it was! 2009 was such an unbelievably stellar year for SO many reasons and a LOT of those reasons have to do with the food truck we affectionately call Big Blue (BIG BLUUUUE!) and the ridiculously awesome and diverse bunch of taco havin’ fun lovin’ high fivin’ Seattleites who join us six days a week. WOW! Awesome! Awesome. We wanted to get the blog post out right now because it’s Sunday so we have a little bit of down time before we hit the streets again tomorrow (rockin’ the new Monday location in South Lake Union hit the “find us” tab for details) but there is nothing about this time that can be called “down” because we’re so excited about Daily Candy that we’ve eaten candy daily ever since. Whew!

MAHALO!
