text: I agree with the majority of the feedback given..feedback from attending in Feb of 2012.  I also went to the Chocolate Affaire for the first time last year...WAS NOT IMPRESSED.  Parking was horrendous.  We had to park several blocks away, which I had not planned on, and with a sore heal to start with, I was hobbling to get there in the 25 minutes it took us to reach the event. \n\n It was a much smaller event that we thought it would be.  Not many chocolate vendors at all...some were out of the treats, the lines were horrible to wait in to get anything.  We went on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, we were done with everything within an hour, and just roamed around to see if there was anything we missed, there wasn't.  \n\nGlendale needs to have many more chocolate vendors.  We only stood in one line to try the chocolate dipped cheesecake, which was wonderful, however, everything was very overpriced.  If you had more vendors, the lines would be spread out better.  I'm surprised there weren't vendors or even home cook-offs...with chocolate cakes, pies, cookies...chocolate wine, hot chocolates, gnache treats, candies, cupcakes, cake pops....many more ideas of chocolate could be offered.\n\nMy friend and I have decided to try it again this year, but if it's the same small event, with too many people, in too small of an area, and too little to offer, we will not attend in the future.  We drive from South Chandler, and it was too far to drive for such an Un-eventful event.\n\nThe review that Aileen gave (the only positive one I saw),makes me think she was one of the people sponsoring the event.  She knew every type of food, and every booth that was there...I don't think this was an honest review by someone just trying to see what the event was like.   I think it was a review from someone who worked there, or sponsored it, trying to get more people to attend.\n\nI hope 2013 gives us \"chocoholics\" a pleasant surprise with a much better event than 2012.
