Yes
You heard right, The Chocolate Rabbit is hosting a party and this is sure to mean lots of yummy goodness.
Rhea and I have been working hard hard hard on making the party a reality. The theme (Alice in Wonderland) came to me just two weeks ago and we have been busy making costumes and decorations ever since. I will be Alice (a give in because of the blond hair). Miss Rhea will be the queen of hearts, Jeff -the caterpillar, my love Jacob - the Madhatter, Blair - the rabbit, and hopefully many many many more.
The house.... the house will be turned into a Wonderland thanks to many people's creative efforts. We have mushrooms, a trippy rabbit hole, a tea party, bread and butterflys, a mural of our rabbit, mushrooms, rabbits, colored lights, roses and did I mention mushrooms?!
We have so many people contributing their time, connections, and access to cheap kegs. It's amazing to see so many people coming together. I really appreciate everyones help!! The challenging aspect has been coordinating everything. Djs, band, sound, food, decorations, costumes, making better friends with the neighbors, and our chocolate orders. I'm very nervous and hoping that it all comes together in a timely fashion so I at least maintain some sanity.
The one lucky thing has been that I don't have to work on anything outside of the Chocolate business and the party. Special thanks go out to Little Red Bike Cafe in North Portland for firing me because they claimed I said "meat is disgusting" and giving me access to unemployment (my Scholarship for Self Discovery) for the last three and a half months. It has been truly glorious to be making the same amount of money doing exactly what I want as opposed to having to work full time. (more details on this later)
Today Miss Rhea is making chocolate. I am making bread and butterflies, decorating our mushroom field, contacting everyone I know who may have access to a PA (yep we don't even have sound yet.... scary) And cleaning cleaning cleaning. It's been great having all the crafting going on, but many people sure make a mess.
After the party we will be sure to update with pictures and stories. I'm sure we will have many to share.
Have a fantastic day!
