Hey friends!

It's Joey from the college peta2 tour crew, and we've spent all week in the great state of New York! We've been on afew different campuses with a few different petitions—at Binghamton University, we were hard at working trying to get more veg options in their dining halls, and the students were very supportive! We'll keep you in the loop with the results. By the way, how are the veg options at your school? If you're not satisfied, check this out!

We also visited Stony Brook University, in Long Island to inform the students of our McCruelty campaign. Most of them were appalled to learn chickens who end up killed for McDonald's are hung upside down in shackles and have their throats slit—while they're still fully conscious. That's gross and cruel, but it's really easy to help stop this torture by getting involved.

While we were around Brooklyn, we HAD to stop at to get some delicious vegan wings. Check this site out to find out what awesome vegan restaurant is near you!



Before I hand it off to Renee on the Tech N9ne tour, I'd like to throw some attention towards an awesome activist and leader. Heather "H-Bomb" Norwood has been touring with us for the past year and a half, and at the beginning of the week she started her new position at PETA—as an Activist Liaison with Issues on Animals in Entertainment—geez, try saying that three times fast! I've toured with Heather the majority of the time I've been on the road with peta2 and I've learned so much from her. She's an incredibly hard working, driven and strong willed animal activist who cares a lot about the welfare and safety of animals everywhere. She will be missed out on the road with us, but she's definitely going to do an amazing job at her new position.



That's it for me this week. I'll drop this blog here and Renee should be by shortly to pick it up. Thanks for reading guys!

Thanks Joey! We have been traveling through the mid west and it keeps getting colder! This doesn't stop those people that care about animals.



We've hit up the marvelous Knitting Factory in Boise, ID, as well as back to back shows at The Wilma in Missoula, MT.

Tech N9ne fans know how to have a good time! We'll continue our on our journey to shed light on our ongoing McCruelty campaign.

Keep it real and we'll see you soon! Go Veg!

Thanks!

Joey and Renee
