Oh, spring is in the air, and the students on college campuses are taking FULL advantage of it!

Here's a little recap from 4 of the recent "Student Spotlight" entries we've received over the past week:

- Students at Michigan State University have an AMAZING campaign against the circus coming to their campus

- The student group at the University of Texas held an "Only Zombies Eat Flesh" vegan food giveaway!

- A student at Cal State University in L.A. filmed her own anti-fur public service announcement (view the video here)

- The student group at Brock University held Vegan Taco Day on campus!

As you can tell, there is no shortage of great activism taking place on college campuses this month!

So what did I do this past week? I took some time off and visited Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in DC. Look at this awesome exhibit I found in the Human Development section!

I couldn't have said it better myself!

This Sunday is the first peta2 Take Action Conference in the South! Our whole crew will be flying down to Texas for a day full of discussion panels about animal rights and "how to answer the tough questions", with a HUGE protest at KFC afterwards! If you've ever been in an argument with friends or family about vegetarianism, fur, or any other topic, we'll give you the answers you need to win that argument! :)

IF YOU ARE ATTENDING, we have a special offer for this conference!! If you have already registered, you can BRING UP TO TWO FRIENDS WITH YOU FOR FREE!! That's right, we want to encourage you to bring friends who have not bought tickets for the event as well, and at no cost!

All you have to do is email me to let me know who you will be bringing, and I'll book them the spaces (and lunch)!

IF YOU HAVEN'T RESERVED YOUR SPACE YET, there's still time! Click HERE or on the adorable picture of us to book your space now!



See you soon!!

- Ryan!

P.S. - If you live anywhere within driving distance of Austin, TX (I'm talking to you Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana!), you DEFINITELY won't want to miss this event. It will be a while before we return to the area, so make sure to get some friends or your parents to drive you to this conference if you can! Road trip!!

P.P.S - IF FOR SOME REASON you cannot register online (or if you're broke), just contact me so that we can find a way for you to go!

Everything is Bigger in Texas January 18, 2008

I've been hanging out in Texas with my buddy Susan for the past week. Surprising as it might sound Texas is one of my favorite states. Not only is everyone so nice, they have some amazing food. We were in Houston, Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Dallas, and let me tell you we ate very well. Vegan food is delicious!

If you haven't yet, you should check out the site HappyCow.net. It has pretty much all the vegetarian friendly restaurants in the world. We use it everyday when we are out on the road and you would be surprised what you can find in the smallest towns. Here are a few pictures from our time in Texas—not to make you jealous, though I'm sure they will.

Don't you think the guy that owns this car needs to learn to show his Texas pride?



That's all for now—I'm off to Arizona!
