Opening Day at Snappy Dogs 2017

I took my dad and Andrew up to Hopkinton to have lunch at Snappy Dogs. I love this place. I learned about it years ago from my friend, The Hot Dog Man, who was touring the different hot dog joints of New England. He introduced me to Lisa and Teresa, two wonderful women who run Snappy Dogs. This place is great, they serve Pearl Hot Dogs in a variety of sizes from the Little Dog to the Great Dane (1/2lb dog). On Friday they even have a special gourmet dog and that changes each week. I once had a steak and cheese dog and it was incredible! Last year we went up for Opening Day and met up with my sister and her kids. It is close to where they live but we didn’t catch up with them today. Today was the guys. Three Andrew’s enjoying dogs. Andrew got a little dog, Dad a Big Dog and I had to go with the Great Dane! All the condiments are homemade and delicious. Then there are the desserts. I grabbed a few and took them home to Allison and Eva to enjoy. Some cookies and a couple of Whoopie Dogs. Caramel Whoopie Dogs. It was a well worth the trip.

When I got home there was a package for me from Amazon.com. I had ordered a microphone so that I could capture better sound for Built from Bricks and especially for when we head to Philly Brickfest LIVE. We’ll be interviewing people and good sound is important. I am also on a budget so I got a fairly inexpensive one. I got the Movo VXR300 HD Professional Condenser X/Y Stereo Video Microphone for DSLR Video Cameras to my arsenal of gadgets. You can pick up the mic through my amazon affiliate link – http://amzn.to/2oDmzQ2 This can only work on my NX1 camera because that is the only one with an input jack.

I also got this one because I have an order in for a MicRig that I got through Kickstarter. I actually snagged it at the $25 price so I’m really excited about that.
