Chocolate Lovers Alert

By the merest of coincidences I was looking at my shitty little calendar, and noticed for the first time that today is the last day of a two day festival that began on Saturday- the Fairfax Virginia Chocolate Lovers Festival. I will include a link to the site, which you can click on and learn all about it. But who could not love a chocolate festival, especially one that included, as you might have hoped, different chocolate based recipes, and samples of same, from around the Fairfax region. Yes, it is called "A Taste Of Chocolate".

This is a fairly new festival, ongoing now for a little over a decade, so you can be excused if you were unaware of it before now. In time, it could conceivably grow to Mardi Gras poential. Well, maybe not. But who knows?

If you're from the immediate vicinity of Fairfax Virginia, you are probably already aware of the two day event, which features some free admissions, some paid events, and others which are probably mixed. You get in free to the "Taste Of Chocolate" event, for example, but I have an idea you would be well advised to bring your wallet.

The website I've included a link to will give you directions to Fairfax. Drive there if you can. Fly if you have to. It might be too late by the time you read this post, but at least you can start saving up for next years event. It can only be better every year. What the hell, this is CHOCOLATE we're talking about here. What better subject for a festival, or excuse to say to hell with this fucking diet?

Chocolate. It's a magical thing. Believe me, I know.

No problem. I love Northern Kentucky, would like to see the discussion boards blossom. One thing you might tell him is to configure the site so that people that are involved in a particular discussion can click on an icon that will cause them to be notified when someone posts a reply to their post. That would insure people keep coming back to the site.
