Yeah, check out the website. There is sooooo much more going on. We have 4 other speakers I didn't mention (they are chefs doing demos) and all kinds of exhibitors, FREE food, and awesome people and things to see.

 

Everyone on the forum within 100 miles should be there! There aren't many opportunities like this around.

 

I really feel that we have the best speaker line-up of any VegFest in the Country!

My roommate and I are going on Friday to see Dr. T Colin Campbell and then going to the Pirates Tavern afterwards. On Saturday we are going to vegfest in the morning for a few hours as well with her kids coming along (Like 10 to 1:30).

Awesome!

 

Please introduce yourself. I'm one of the organizers so I probably won't be working at the Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness booth or Vega booth, but you'll see plenty of our forum members out and about. I'll be around too and hanging around that area (VBB, Vega, OrganicAthlete) as much as possible too.

 

It will be great to meet another member of our website.

 

Enjoy the VegFest!

It was brilliant! I'll write more later. It is nearly 2AM and guests are just now heading to bed at my house. We had a small after party. I also arm wrestled John Robbins (hopefully photos to come).

 

Great event! Thanks to all who helped. More of a recap later, must sleep now, lots to do tomorrow!

He had a swimming class that day and was doing stuff with mom. He would have loved it though. It gives dad a good little break at least.

Nice meeting you too. I'm sure i'll see you around. The Oakland AK Press online is where I got the messenger bag by the way. Take Care.
