What Did You Do This Summer? September 3, 2008
Posted by Pulin Modi at September 3, 2008 11:17 AM | Permalink | Comments ( 10 ) | TrackBackIn the US, we generally mark the end of summer with Labor Day weekend. So considering it's back to school and all that, I wanted to let you know some highlights from the peta2 and peta2 UK staff. I would love to hear what you enjoyed the most about the summer.
Two highlights from my summer: getting to spend time with my sister at PETA (I mention this a lot, don't I?), and wearing a skeleton costume to protest Donna Karan!
-Elizabeth
The best thing that happened this summer was meeting all you guys at Glastonbury Festival, T in the Park, Get Loaded in the Park, Rip Curl Boardmasters, NASS, VFest and Give it a Name. Also seeing Seasick Steve at Glastonbury made it for me.
-Martin
This might seem like a small thing, but it made me so happy: Convincing my six-year-old niece (whom I adore to no end) to try vegan chicken on our family vacation. She loved it, wanted more, and even shouted "I LOVE VEGETARIAN MEAT!!!!!!!" Adorable, right?
-Marta
This was a great summer for me! I got to give KFC "the bird" in Egypt! And, I got to see my favorite band, Radiohead (complete with veg lead singer, Thom Yorke performing live in the middle of a thunderstorm!) It was madness! Madness, I say!
-Ryan
My highlight this summer was visiting an animal sanctuary. I finally got to kiss a pig, and one of them even nuzzled up to me! It was a dream come true—literally. Okay, so maybe it wasn't exactly in the summer—it was in May, but it's pretty much the highlight of my life, so there. A real summer highlight? Getting to sweat it out and meet some of you guys at Warped Tour and Mayhem Festival this year—and seeing huge tough guys sign our petition to help pigs, definitely.
-Rachel
So what was the highlight (or highlights) of your summer, everyone? I had so many that I just wrote my own blog about it here. Here's your chance to brag, though.

Here's a special guest blog from Martin with peta2 UK!
I am really excited about this news. peta2 UK will be at Give It a Name 08 at Earls Court this weekend! How could I not be jumping round the office? It means I get to see some of the best bands on the planet (who all support peta2) like Silverstein, Plain White T's, Billy Talent, Cobra Starship, Set Your Goals, Strike Anywhere, Anti-Flag, Mayday Parade and Meg and Dia. Check out the full line up:
If any of you guys are going then make sure you come by the peta2 UK table and say hi to me. If you're not going—why the hell not!!!
Peace
Martin
