Hey there ladies and gents! Renee here, on the road with Tech N9ne. We've been combing our way out west through Seattle, Spokane, and Portland on our way to California. We've met a lot of interesting people along the way ...

The hard work is paying off in our efforts to promote awareness of the suffering that occurs in McDonald's suppliers' slaughterhouses. I'm hatin' it! Each night we make new friends and couldn't be happier with the amazing guys in Slaughterhouse. The guys were cool enough to stop by to check out the table and say hello!


The road has been treating us well ... off to Cali!

Greetings everyone. Daniel here! Glad to be back on the road with peta2. It's been a rowdy week since I've been back with the team doing college outreach. First we hit up Hunter College in Manhattan, New York, to help students expand the vegan options in their dining halls, and we even risked our health passing out McCruelty leaflets outside of McDonald's in the cold rain.


While in NYC we were able to catch some great eats all around town. We visited the unearthly Foodswings vegan fast food joint in Brooklyn on multiple occasions for some intense faux-wing eating sessions. On Friday Joey, Franny, Tyler, and I all participated in a food challenge of gluttonous proportions: Back to back vegan lunches at the world famous Red Bamboo and Vegetarian's Paradise 2 restaurants in Greenwich Village. This consisted of delicious soul-chicken sandwiches, malaysian mango chicken, and pepper steak dishes, to name a few. Tyler and I officially won the challenge because we topped off our two hefty meals with vegan Oreo cheesecake. Our travels then took us to Columbus, Ohio, where we reached out to the Buckeyes at Ohio State University about what happens to chickens in McDonald's suppliers' slaughterhouses.


We fueled ourselves for these outreach operations with the great pastries, cookies, and muffins of Pattycake vegan bakery just up the road from the school. We passed through Akron, Ohio, earlier on our way to Kent State University, and we had some hearty vegan pizza at the elegant Vegiterranean restaurant.


Life is good out on the road. We're reaching people everyday for the animals and we're downing some serious meals all along the way—which goes to show that being vegan is fun and easy no matter where you are. Get stuffed!

-Renee and Daniel
