Cabel Sasser’s 2024 XOXO Talk
i’ve been waiting for AGES to share this #xoxofest talk with people who weren’t there. i can’t tell you what it’s about without spoiling it. just watch it (but maybe skip the first minute or two, they follow a brief recap that isn’t included)
“Don’t waste this. Keep everyone guessing. Make me proud.” When Panic co-founder Cabel Sasser spoke at our second festival in 2013, the Mac software company had just started venturing into games by funding the studio behind Firewatch, an indie blockbuster that launched Panic’s games publishing business and, eventually, the Playdate handheld console.

I checked in at Gracie's Apizza / Portland / OR
Gracie’s is so fucking good omg
I checked in at Frybaby / Portland / OR
another wing week stop! Frybaby is always incredible but i think these honey butter wings would’ve been even better with a bit of sansho lol
i’ve had the same ringtone for like ten years, but the other day i changed it to the Family Mart jingle and then i changed my text tone to one of the JR Osaka Loop notification chimes and now i am measureably happier
I checked in at Lazy Days Brewing / Portland / OR
portland has too many food weeks, but ok, i will probably try a few of the wing specials around town. these charred pineapple & serrano wings are gooood
