The largest natural products show in the world, Expo West, just occurred , and we have just arrived home from the L.A. area. It was a crazy show with many cacao lovers. Our destination for Expo West was Anaheim, the home of DisneyLand. Unfortunately, we did not even see a bit of DisneyLand due to our busy schedule in the Convention Center. Maybe next time. :)
Nina, Matt, Heidi and I all traveled to the show and spent time with many friends along the way including Guy, Jeff, Jim, & Amy Joe from Whole Foods, Ted from Jungle Products, Greg from Odwalla and Adina, the Pizza Pitza Guys and more! Luckily, despite the fact that we are standing at a booth for 3 days, we tend to even have fun as you may be able to notice in the photos.
I have to tell you again that I have the most amazing team. They organized everything for the show from NYC, and we had our most beautiful set up ever! We even had a film festival backdrop to take photos of our partners & friends at the show. Nice. The Fancy Food Show in NYC is our next big gig...want to join us...let me know.
I worked (and walked) Expo West once - it was a crazy event, packed with thousands of people and thousands of booths. At the end, all I could remember was that it was a blur and that my feet hurt from standing and walking around for several days.
Hope it was good for your business, though! :)

Great seeing you folks at the Expo, hopefully we'll get some rioting done soon in the east.
Loved the care package you sent me home with, made me forget about my aching feet & all the crazy stuff I tasted. See you in NY maybe, or Baltimore if not before...
