Introduction

I tried to go vegan decades ago but it only lasted a year. The reason? I didn't know any other vegans! So... I don't want that to happen to other people. I want to help veg*ns find each other.

How do you describe yourself? Vegan, vegetarian, omnivore, raw, whole foods, adventurous eater, veg-curious...?

vegan since 2007, vegetarian since 1982

What kinds of events do you prefer? Potlucks, restaurant meals, drinks, activism, bowling...?

drinks and activism!
