Chocolate For Change™ was founded in New York City in 2004. It was born out of one woman's recipe for combining activism, altruism, and of course, chocolate. The mission of Chocolate for Change™ is to educate the public and raise funds for issues that are close to our hearts and benefit humanity. Proceeds are donated to a variety of organizations. We are committed to causes that not only require our dollars, but also our attention and dedication to make a positive change in the world around us.

Um, no? I made an overview thread looking for volunteers... and having 7 different party's info in one thread is crazy.

Why worry about fundraising and party threads when there are 15 other threads about tickets exchanges and complaining and everything else?

I thought it wasn't a bad answer... if my frustration with all the other complaining threads came through, my bad.

I guess I didn't realize I was coming off that way either. Sorry Frustration of ticket day and everyone complaining, etc. I'll buy ya a drink if we're at any of the shows together

LeatherMosquitoMan

I'll donate FLAC bootlegs of both the Vic and Copenhagen 2007 shows.

pjtaper

I'll donate my time, but I will not be donating my liver again at this fundraiser...
I need to hit up a vending machine this time!

Arcticangel

Can't wait! Would love to be there and meet you all. However...my roommate and travel companion is only 20.. You'll have to keep me posted on how that affects her ability to be there..

PJPixie

I would love to donate some time to this event, being that I'm in LA.
Tell me where to sign up

It'll be great to meet you too! We hopefully we can get a venue that'll allow 18 and over to get in - we always try for that, but sometimes we just can't find one, which sucks..

..so LA people... where should we hold this party, preferably 18+ entry? SEN? You're our social girl...any ideas?

Hotel advice.. group discount (Janet?) would be cool too

There is a bar called "Opus" right next to the Wiltern....it would draw lots of people who had no advance notice.

http://www.opentable.com/rest_profile.aspx?rid=4680 is this the place? Is it more of a restaurant or bar?

thats the place.

They have a bar in front, and, I THINK they have private rooms that may be feasible since we are talking a late-afternoon affair (as opposed to something later in the evening where they'd want everyone to eat, etc.)

I tried calling them, but I don't think they allow out-of-state calls to come through... http://www.opusrestaurant.net one of you locals want to call?

The other place I found was Frank N Hanks... anyone know anything about them? http://losangeles.citysearch.com/profile/11416045/los_angeles_ca/frank_n_hank_s.html
