Chocolate Party

I was at the Museum of Scotland's party with Lilian last night, which was one of the best-staged parties I've been to - there were members of the Opera there when I started, singing from strategic places in the crowd, handing off microphones to each other (you couldn't tell who was a singer and who wasn't until they suddenly got handed a microphone) and then sweeping up nearby party-goers to dance with them until they got a microphone back. There were acapella singers from Oxford University, who were having a fantastic time with everything from a couple of blues numbers to Sweet Home Alabama. And then there was music to dance to, largely dating from the 40s, 50s and 60s - Frank Sinatra, James Brown, The Shadows. Absolutely great fun.
Oh, and was well as the usual munchies, there was a table with a variety of different kinds of fruit and a _chocolate fountain_. Chocolate cascaded down the sides of it and you impaled fruit on a stick and then held it under the dripping gorgeousness until it couldn't take any more.

If I had £3000 I'd be darn tempted.

We had marshmellows, and strawberrys, and long sticks..
but you could dispence with the long stick, and just cover your hand in chocolate..
The ironic part of it, it was at GSK.. the toothcare people!

Those fountains are cool but pricey. Over here they cost hundreds of dollars even to rent.
