Well, OK THEN!<\/p>\n<p>Like last year, Chris and I prepped.  This time, we made sure that we had a map and memorized where all the booths were located.<\/p>\n<p>And so we rushed over to the festival around 11 am.  We kept checking our email, awaiting an announcement.  Unlike last year, the email didn&#8217;t indicate a place to meet.  So we waited.  We talked to Caleb\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthe head of La Cocina.  Nothing.  And so we waited optimistically&#8230;and waited&#8230;and waited with when David and Jeff showed up.<\/p>\n<p>At least we ran into Team Neverland.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/circia\/4947751424\/\" title=\"Team DFT and Team Neverland! by jdng, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4131\/4947751424_8175be411d.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Team DFT and Team Neverland!\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And got a nice picture with Brody!<\/p>\n<p>Then we wandered around, tasting foods here and there.
