Yesterday 15 of us met up with Cecillia and Cecillia from Kuapa Kokoo at the No Exit Cafe in Chicago. And let me first of all rave about how great the No Exit Cafe is. The food was delicious, the location intimate and trendy, and a staff of intelligent, thoughtful, beautiful people. Some of you may remember the No Exit Cafe from two and a half years ago, when it was the second destination for our Chicago Convergence celebration party. That party started at the equally amazing Heartland Cafe (the main attraction, who's owners also run No Exit) which is located just 100 feet to the North. Cecillia and Cecillia shared their stories and their songs with us. They also shared some of their delicious chocolote. Let me tell you something, if you haven't tasted Divine Chocolate GO OUT AND DO IT RIGHT NOW!! It is a dark little piece of heaven. I remember the first time I came home with a Divine chocolate bar two years ago. My friends and I gathered around it like we had just been delivered a secret new treat from Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. I wonder... is singing the secret ingredient in good chocolate? Gene Wilder sang. Cecillia and Cecillia sang. I think I'm onto something... Kuapa PA PA PA PA! I'm excited about the potential in Chicago. We've got a lot of people in the city who are working on Fair Trade and a lot of those people are students. Julia and I look forward to trying to harness this energy for some really radical Chicago area campaigning. Chicagoans - look ahead to a meetup in November. We're gonna rock it.
