FREE Fancy Pants Chocolate and Factory Tour

When I was a kid I was pretty stoked on watching how they made chocolate in the back of the Ghiradelli Soda Fountain. My sister and I would run to check it out while we counted down the seconds until the larger-than-our-heads-(and stomachs)-sugar coma-inducing treats were ready. It took me

Feist Documentary @ Noise Pop

I never think I’m going to like documentaries. That might make me sound like an idiot but the thing is, when I feel like watching a movie, it’s the one time I’m not trying to learn. I went to school for 20 years. I paid my learning dues. But the
