ACS 2008: pictures!

Ok, let’s finish off this American Cheese Society conference. Between being sick then crazy busy at work this has dragged out too long.

First off, I wanna say hey to two new (to me) cheesy LJers. [livejournal.com profile] nahmo and [livejournal.com profile] buttonlass. In the ‘80s Nahmo used to tag along with his dad to the store I work at when his dad delivered tofu. Small world! He’s a cheese seller in Utah and pretty awesome. Buttonlass made sure I got invited to the big party at her workplace in Chicago. Thanks BL, I owe you one. I also saw the [livejournal.com profile] cheese_mistress and watched some crazy drama unfold around our group as she graciously tried to deflect it. No, I won’t get into details, but it was extra cringey.

But hey, forget that. Look, the Chicago skyline made of cheese:

Dudes, this was a cheesecake!

As always, there was massive cheese excess.

Love that Chicago skyline. I keep forgetting about the sculptural aspects of cheese!

I don't think I could let DJ and Zoe off leash in there. . . . or [livejournal.com profile] deyo, for that matter.

Drama!

Yes, your ACS party drama is a story...man if the community weren't so small, I'd love to talk about because it was bizarre! One day, that and more.

So congratulations on the pic and recognition in the ACS newsletter that just landed in my snail mailbox.

Missing y'all at Folsom this weekend! I can't believe Rainbow has a booth, or do they?
