While Sarah Silverman was kicking up a kerfuffle (really?!) over at TED, our sold-out inaugural FRED at TCHO was free of controversy and full of frivolity, revelry, eating and drinking.
Comedy Magician Robert Strong kicked things off and wrangled the revelers with a lively and hilarious set, which positively oozed FRED spirit. And with the alluring scent of their hard work in the air, inaugural FRED talkers Brad Kintzer and John Kehoe of TCHO explained the role their global sustainability program plays in making their delicious chocolates.
Thanks to everyone who attended, we realized that FRED is not quite as lazy as we thought—we raised more than $2,500 for Haiti relief efforts!
Check out all the event photos.
We’d like to again thank our gracious host, TCHO, and our other very FREDtastic supporters:

You’ve heard of TED. Meet his brother, FRED (Frivolity Revelry Eating Drinking). He’s slightly less ambitious but always the life of the party.
We’d all love to be TED. We like giving back. We often ponder ways to fix the world. We’d certainly attend TED2010 if it was a little more accessible.
FRED’s got you covered. Join a group of festive folks with great intentions at FRED’s inaugural event: “The Power of Chocolate to Change the Future,” brought to you by PR & Company and Tajima Creative.
Conveniently hosted at the home of SF superstar chocolate maker, TCHO, and just in time for Valentine’s Day, FRED will feature a 17-minute FRED Talk, plus tours of TCHO’s factory and plenty of frivolity, revelry, eating (chocolate sampling) and drinking (chocolate-friendly red wine).
You can also pick up a sweet Valentine’s Day gift – the chocolate Martha Stewart Living called “the hands-down star in our blind taste test” – at a special FRED discount, courtesy of TCHO.
