Howdy St. Louis! Have You Ever Been To The Pageant!? August 28, 2009

Usually most of us dream about traveling in/with a band sometime in our life, right? Since I've been involved with peta2 I've had the opportunity to do just that (check out the different jobs available here at PETA)! I've been on tours that featured artists/bands Bayside, Chiodos, The Cool Kids, Comeback Kid, hellogoodbye, Silverstein, and many more (not to brag). Along with touring you get to meet some awesome people and stop at some awesome venues. One of my personal favorite venues happens to be in St. Louis, The Pageant.

The Pageant has an amazing set up, is in a great area, there are always awesome bands playing, and I can't forget about the amazing staff! The venue has hosted quite a few non-profit organizations in the past and peta2 is happy to be one of them. The last time I was in St. Louis I popped by a show that peta2's friends in Never Shout Never were playing at The Pageant and I had the chance to spread the word about how Meat's Not Green—remember, eating meat is like driving a whole fleet of SUVs around the block every time you sit down for dinner.

If you're on the Street Team and live in/near St. Louis and would like to help in the future drop us a line at peta2@peta2.com! Also, The Pageant will be hosting the upcoming Hanson and hellogoodbye, Brand New, The Used, Ludo, Cobra Starship, AFI, and many more shows, so make sure you check them out if you're around!

Do YOU Want To Tour?! March 17, 2009

Howdy to all!

My name is Cody and I am the Youth Outreach Coordinator for peta2. Before I landed the job that I have now I was a tour contractor for a little over a year, which was one of the best experiences that I've ever had! I have been on tours including the Taste of Chaos tours in 2007 and 2008, Hellogoodbye, the Van's Warped Tour, the peta2 Not Nugget Tour featuring Silverstein, the Get A Life Tour (The Used) and more.

On top of the touring that I've done, I had the opportunity to table a few hip-hop events (one had Lil Wayne, The Game, Ice Cube and Chris Brown), a number of college conventions, music festivals, and more. As you can see, I was able to travel all over the US and Canada, eat some amazing vegan food, and most importantly, speak up for animals.

If you're ready to travel and help animals by getting animal rights info to people and having them sign peta2 petitions, then I highly encourage you to apply!

Click here for instructions on applying. You must be a careful driver with a valid U.S. driver's license and at least three years' clean driving record. And you have to be at least 21 or older. If you're not old enough to tour, don't fret! We have the Street Team for you!

What's Scarier Than hellogoodbye in Drag? November 7, 2008

The meat and dairy industry destroying our environment! That's right my friends. Did you know that farmed animals use more than half the water consumed in the US? That's not very Green is it—wasteful don't ya think?!

Runner up for scariest this Halloween: Our Friends in hellogoodbye in drag!

Did anyone get any sweet vegan candy for Halloween? I didn't get candy (so lame, I know—feel free to donate your extras at the next HGB show), however, I got some soy cheese pizza from Pizza Fusion in Ft Lauderdale, FL.


So I must say I met some of my personal heroes the other day in Orlando, FL. Street Teamers Maggie and Liza are starting an animal rights group in their school, AND they got their school to stop dissection! Maggie used a computer program instead of cutting up animals and got the best grade in her class. Oh Snap!


You can take charge, too, like our friend Forrest of HGB who helped us get loud in Orlando.


Oh and I'm thinking about reinstating soy ice cream Mondays—remember those days? That was the life.

Get Rowdy

Going Green with hellogoodbye! November 4, 2008

Oh what a first week we had hanging with some of the greatest people ever—who are all learning (or helping spread the word) that Meat's Not Green! Did you know seventy percent of the leveled rain forest in the Amazon is used to raise animals for meat consumption? That can't be good for anyone!

We joined our friends from hellogoodbye in California to start the BBQ tour. Like pros, these manly men got right to building grills.

We're also making new friends, like Ace Enders and Never Shout Never.

Jason and Sergio (Ace Enders) and Casey (Never Shout Never) all signed our petition this week to inform everyone and spread the word that Meat's Not Green!


And these rad Texans got involved by getting decked out in MNG stickers!


We'd also like to welcome Casandra to the HGB tour. She'll be out talking to you about what we can do to help save the planet AND animals at one time—like try going vegetarian for a week. You'll help save the rain forests and feel healthier, and you might even want to stick with it once the week is over! If you're already vegetarian, try going vegan for a week!


This week in my tummy, we went to Mr. Natural in Austin, TX—a 100% vegetarian Mexican restaurant. I'll let the pictures do the talking.




Peace like a river,

Paige!
