It was nice to meet some of the chocoholics face to face at the Chocolate Week. Hope to do something like that again. There was a chocolate festival in Stockholm 9th and 10th of october, that crashed a little with the London Week. You can find info and pics on http://www.porcelana.se. I vote for a meeting in Berlin or Paris or ..München.

Greetings to Martin, Steve and the others.

I'm going to find myself in italy and switzerland this summer (10 year wedding anniversary). Certainly wouldn't expect anyone to schedule anything around me, but if you happen to find yourselves doing this around that time in that area, I wouldn't mind popping in to say 'ello

fine idea! i think the uk (or even iceland :-) would be a good location. it's kind of in between the us and europe. i have been thinking about planing a trip to the chocolate week next year, but a seventypercent event would interest me more to be truthful.
if it turns out that munich is the place i would not be sad either. and i could offer about two people a place to stay.
time is no problem as long as i know enough in advance.

other suggestion: nyc

Before I put this year’s Chocolate Week section to bed (i.e. move it to the end), I wanted to say thanks to those forum members who made it to some of our events during the Week (and to the rest of you who I’m sure were there in spirit!)

It was great to spend some time with you, especially when we were all together at the Gala night. I really felt this helped build up our community and it was as a pleasure to meet with fellow obsessives and talk the talk.

Chocolate Week next year is a long way off, and I thought it would be great if we could try and arrange another meeting in the not to distant future. We don’t have to coordinate it with any particular event, and it need not be in the UK. If it could fit in with a time when any of our US members might be in Europe, all the better.

Post here if you think this could be a good idea, and then I’ll start another thread about where and when and how. Even if it would have to be a long time ahead, it would be good to start thinking about it now.

New reviewing critieria - _who_ is the best looking chocolate ...

It's not that chocolates are a substitute for love. Love is a substitute for chocolate. Chocolate is, let's face it, far more reliable than a man.

I can always paint my face with Amedei's Porcelana to remain incognito ...

I have a pic on the computer as well. If anyone wants it, feel free to ask. There should be a section on the member profile where we can add pics if we want.

Password protection could be an idea, yes. See you in London anyway :-)

Masur, great initiative, but I prefer not to have my picture published simply because the internet is open for everyone
