Who hasn’t been dreaming of the land of chocolate? The land we were first introduced to by Gene Wilder where everything was edible, shiny and sweet? I’ve joked about this fantastical place with friends, but never did I think it could exist, could it? Well, a fax landed on my desk today that offers much promise: “Calling all chocolate enthusiasts: Indulge in a world of chocolate,” What? Dost my eyes deceive me? Apparently not. The next line was, “Annual Holiday Benefit Raises Funds for the AIDS Foundation of Chicago.” Since I’m clearly not in heaven (there are too many looming deadlines) I can only think this is an answer to my Wonka reverie and a very clever fundraiser event. I would certainly give my right leg, or the $75 general admission price, to be granted entrance. Past years have showcased the sweet stuff in 20-foot tours, flowing fountains and Willy-esque rivers. Though it’s not set to take place until November 29th, I anticipate they’ll be looking for volunteers to help set up? I’m available but may need help suppressing my inner Gloop.
