Howdy friends! This last week has been a busy one with lots of great food and meeting more amazing people on the Rockstar Get A Life Tour.

I have a couple amazing highlights from the last week. First, I want to thank all of the amazing folks that have been coming out and pledging to be fur-free! You all are INCREDIBLE!

Second, the food has been really, really tasty. It was hard to pick a favorite, so I will tell you about three amazing spots. First, our great friend, and amazing Street Teamer, Pat of Rochester, NY, showed us Dogtown where we almost had vegan heart attacks (sarcasm, but the meal was real hearty!).


The next place I really enjoyed was Nice Slice in Providence, RI. I love pizza and this place could be the vegan pizza masters! Check out the vegan BBQ 'chicken' pizza!


Finally, my new favorite calzone can be found at Little Anthony's in Albany, NY. Vegan cheese, pineapple, vegan chicken, and vegan riblets is what you should order. Weird combo, but you will thank me later when you try it!


Hearts and farts,
Cody

Ohio Can Be Cool April 9, 2008

Who knew? No offense to those of you living in Ohio. I've never been to Columbus until yesterday and I must admit that I was impressed. We walked around the OSU campus and got folks to sign our petition. I love seeing the 'creep' eye from people when they see somebody in a costume walking the streets—always a great laugh.

Soon after, we arrived at the venue and saw a massive line waiting for Rockstar's Get A Life Tour. We were greeted with some tasty cookies, and tons of amazing folks wanted to pledge to be fur-free!




Thanks to all of you that have been coming out to the events thus far and being 1 of 100,000 Strong Against Fur! The animals love you suckas.

Rockstar's Get A Life Tour hit Urbana, IL, last night and was a hoot! The weather was beautiful and the folks hanging around were pretty rad. We busted out the fox costume and hit the streets yet again!

The response was great and who doesn't love seeing a fox walking down the street? Ow ow?


Of course the best part of the day was at the event! We mingled, educated, and were rockstars? We met a few local Street Teamers and more folks wanted to sign our petition.


Come out this week and see what's crackin' suckas!

4/09 - Rochester, NY, at the Armory
4/11 - Worcester, MA, at the Palladium
4/12 - Hampton Beach, NH, at the Casino
4/13 - Providence, RI, at Lupo's

Stay fun,
Cody

Get A Life Columbia, MO! April 7, 2008

Yesterday we were in lovely Columbia and decided to spend some quality time on MSU's campus. What better way to pass the time than walking around and telling folks about the horrors of the fur industry? I know I wouldn't want to be anally electrocuted, as animals on fur farms sometimes are, so it was kind of nice to speak to folks about the fur industry by busting out the fox costume and hitting the streets! The fox hitched a ride with a bike taxi and was a hit! Plus, he got to ride next to an adorable dog. Great times!

Next, we hit up lovely Main Squeeze for some incredible tempeh tacos! Guh, they were pretty tasty to say the least.


Finally, it was time to start the event. A nice crowd was crammed in front of the doors and we are getting closer to the 100,000 Strong Against Fur mark thanks to all of YOU. Tonight our friend Donnie joined us and will be hitting the road with us for a while. Come out and say hello. I hear he gives great hand-hugs!


Alrighty, next stop is Urbana, IL, and we're ready to kick it good! Come say hello, help out, and sign our petition against the fur industry—because FUR IS DEAD. Duh.

Hearts and more farts,
Cody

So we're not really on a million tours, but it feels close. People from peta2 and peta2 UK are tabling some ridiculous number of festivals and tours all over the US, Canada, and UK coming up.

Check our MySpace calendar for all the dates. Are there any near you? Maybe Bamboozle or Taste of Chaos? Perhaps a little bit of Tegan and Sara or Anti-Flag or Aiden? Or possibly the Rockstar Get a Life Tour which starts today?! We've also got a conference in Toronto this weekend and more in the works.

Seriously, you should go to the shows and say hello to our road crew.

The next week on the Get A Life Tour features dates in:

4/2 Las Cruces,NM
4/3 Pueblo,CO
4/5 Columbia,MO
4/6 Champaign, IL
4/7 Columbus,OH
4/9 Rochester,NY

So will we see you at any of these shows or what?

P.S.- Have you sent in your Fur Is Dead bunny ears photo, yet?
