Headed To The Food Truck Round Up!

July 5, 2013 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway 2 Comments

If you’re a Facebook friend or follow me on Twitter or Instagram you know this time last month I was out and about attending the Food Truck Round Up at Parc Lafayette.

Whelp, tomorrow I’m headed back for more food and fun! Last month the sun was blazing and though it was hot. as. Hades out there we managed to snag some delicious food and had a great time.

In addition to sampling the fare I’ll be on the lookout with my Swirl Cam in hand to see how many Swirlers are taking part in the good eats available on 15 or more Food Trucks.

One thing I’ve noticed since being back in Louisiana is the fact that Swirling in Acadiana seems to overwhelmingly consist of BM/WW couples. That’s all well and good – Hooray for them!

My focus, however is BW/non-BM couples so my eyes will be peeled to see if I spot any couples of that variation.

*Crosses fingers*

Stay tuned for the full report!

Hey Jeff,

I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s pretty much the same here. Besides, the stats bear us out: BM marry out at a rate of almost 2:1 of BW. Oh well – I’m happy for the BW/non-BM couples who got the memo!
Woot Woot! 🙂

In Detroit from what I have seen, it is 100 percent WM/BW, because Bee and I are the only ones I have seen. Out toward Ann Arbor where I live, where it is very liberal, it seems like I have noticed it is 3 to 1, BM/WW to WM/BW. We are getting there, but it is still a very slow process.
