One of ThePieMaker.com readers (David) is working up a recap and some photos from yesterday’s Chocolate Festival in San Francisco so in the meantime, check out this great report from our friend Polter-Cow over at LiveJournal.  Even though they were out of pie, that didn’t stop this Pushing Daisies fan from having a blast not to mention knowing more than the reporter covering the event!

I hung around the booth looking for more excitement since I had made a special trip and wanted it to be worth it, even without pie. I noticed a reporter or something asking the cute girl some questions, notepad out. I wondered what sort of story he would be writing about this thing.

First up is ThePieMaker.com reader Jessica’s account of her day which includes shirts, spatulas, balloons and Young Olive Snook!  Take it away Jessica!

It was absolutely awesome and crazy! I live in San Diego and since it started so early, my mom and I decided to leave even earlier to beat the traffic (4 am to be exact) and hit none until we reached Disneyland.
