have you ever been forced to look at your friends while they suffer immensely and realize how excellent they are and how much you love them based on how they behave under terrible conditions?
we just got back from the hospital visiting a friend who just found out she'll be on dialysis for the rest of her life unless she can get a kidney transplant....

hey, happy belated birthday!!!
Q: how do you make a vegetarian chili?
A: you lock em in the freezer.
i just heard that on the radio. they were talking about some chili place in iowa, the caucauses, and kucinich.
yesterday i heard the term "monkey bath." that's when the tub is full of water that is so hot you go "ooo-ooo-aaaaa----aaaa" as you lower yourself into it. that's funny!...

ice storm in portland! i uploaded some photos we took today, check em out.
as my friend chad says, it's colder than a witches tit in a brass bra out there.
it was fun walking around on these shelves of ice. if you jumped you could crash through them a few inches and your feet would be surrounded by big plates of ice. crazy.

from the interview with dennis kucinich that is the cover story of our next issue:
Well, Ive always been an environmentalist. Ive always stood strong for human rights and have been a supporter of animal rights. But I became a vegan out of love. I met someone who was a vegan nine years ago and when I tried it a vegan diet I found that...

It would be awsome if this person got elected. Just gotta defeat the meat / agri-business industry and all the money they give to politicos first.
Nice quote in the interview. Yahoo!

the oregonian newspaper called to ask me what the reaction was within the vegetarian community about mad cow disease.
since i never really leave my house and the only community i engage in is on this site in the veggie group, i just went ahead and spoke confidently as if that was the entire vegetarian world's view.

hey.
do you talk to Rose or stop by the divine cafe often? what is it you do that the oregonian views you as an authority?

pharaoh:
okay, i've seen your mag and your shirts. you used to supply shirts to the vegan shoe store over on broadway, right? too bad they closed. yeah, i used to live right over on 9th & Knott, so i could walk over to the divine cafe whenever the need hit me... it was my hangover remedy. i was bummed when they moved downtown. but i guess her business tripled, so good for her.
the newsstand right down the street from me had your first issue, but seeing as how i'm unemployed i had to read what i could standing at the newsstand. i love it when people can eek out a little dough without working for the man.
LA in the winter is great. sunny and somewhat warm. it's a bit too smoggy in the hot months, but it's hard to top a Portland summer. The food is excellent. lots and lots of vegan options. some of them even deliver! and all of the ethnicities (sp?) means lots of kick ass african and indian food. now i just need to hunt down the middle eastern places. i miss Nicholas' over on Grand (or is it MLK?) soooo much.
have you ever seen the movie "Elephant Parts"? your listed occupation made me think of it. if not, in it there's a vegetarian big game hunter who goes into a supermarket with a shotgun and starts blowing away lettuce and tomatoes and such...

sweet baby jesus, i'm so glad i have my own postage machine at home. the post office, while appearing in good spirits, was packed. and since i have an acute allergy to humanity, good thing i didn't have to stand in line. when the line goes out the double doors and you have a big tub of packages, people don't like it when you "excuse...

do you happen to know if the printer uses gelatin-based gloss on Herbivore? i just thought of that and i'm curious.
whew. got final printed proofs of the new issue of our magazine today. it's so nerve wracking! but it looks good, the barcode seems to be correct and all that so it's a go. it's funny, i just bought thousands of these magazines for thousands of dollars. now i'm going to try and resell them all. it's a weird process. goal for 2004: don't lose...

I love Grits! It's about as good as veggie gets in the South.

I got the stuff, it's awesome, thanks
it's funny. i'm 30 and 3 quarters years old. i was just driving to UPS to ship a box to MooShoes in New York. I'm driving along listening to a Misfits cassette (punk and disorderly comp on the other side) I've had since i was 14 years old (that's one sturdy cassette, i tell you what.) So I'm driving, doing my best Danzig voice to...

I got your magazine, cool guy. It really, seriously rocks It's so cool to read a magazine where vegetarianism isn't presented as a freaky dinky thing. And is it weird that I love the ads? As soon as I get a break, I'm gonna spend some time typing in the urls from the ads- you can find some really interesting things that way, at least that's how I found your site back in the day. I haven't heard of that band, but I"m not from these parts, so they could still be around for all I know. I'll keep an eye out.

I'm being careful with the corporate types... promise...
And thanks yo! THe copies are for a local vegan restaurant (bay leaf cafe) that has a book section, but not enough money to buy anything on their own. Gotta spread the good word ya know.
I wanted to add that vegandotcom shirt to the order but can't get your page to load.
I guess I gota spread the good things in life out.
