I *thought* I saw someone that looked like you but didn't want to assume since I only met you once before. :(<br><br>As for branding, I agree with you in all aspects. Another thing that bothered me was the amount of food everywhere -- most it untouched.

I thought I might I have seen you too. I was a little disappointed also with how bloggers were leaving partially eaten food around or failing to notify staff if they tipped and broke wine glasses. I found myself trying to find a staff member the second day... broken glass on the floor is so dangerous.<br><br>Hi CC,<br><br>Thanks! It was great meeting you too.

So much closer to awesome food. I'm going to have to pay you a visit.<br><br><br>Hi SC,<br>The escargot pops weren't as awesome as you'd think. A lot of pastry and little snail.<br><br><br>Hi Ann,<br>Is this for Nhu-Chi's B-day? It'll be close to Lunar New Year so there may be festivities involving that. Farmers Market is Tu/Th/Sa morning. Its a must go... sample everything!!!!<br><br><br>Hi Nhu-Chi,<br>Thanks! I need Ann's camera. I'm debating on whether or not to upgrade to a D-SLR.Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16184575472498401429noreply@blogger.com
