Back by popular demand: Myq Kaplan is a comedian named Myq Kaplan (pronounced “Mike”). He is a 2010 Last Comic Standing Finalist and has appeared on the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, the Late Show with David Letterman, Comedy Central Presents, and all the other places he’s been. You can listen to Myq’s podcast, Hang Out With Me, on the Keith and The Girl network. His debut CD, Vegan Mind Meld, was one of iTunes’ top ten best-selling comedy albums in 2010, followed by Meat Robot in 2013 and his one-hour Netflix special Small Dork and Handsome in 2014 now on Amazon and his latest release is No Kidding.

The Comedians magazine calls him “a comedy machine, in the best possible way. the way that some machines vend soda or prevent other machines from killing future revolutionaries – that’s how Myq Kaplan does comedy: relentlessly, methodically, unblinkingly.”
Enjoy reading, watching, listening, thinking, laughing, and whatever else you’re doing. Or not doing. You’re an autonomous being. Have fun…

VSDC's own Saurabh Dalal is the featured speaker at the Pro-Animal Meetup (PAM) on Sunday, September 20. Saurabh will talk about the Veg Society of DC which is still going after 99 years. VSDC has the distinction of being the longest running veg organization in North America.

VSDC promotes an all-plant diet and vegan lifestyle through education, community-building, and social activities throughout the DC metro area.

PAM is weekly meetup where fellow animal lovers discuss what’s happening in the animal advocacy scene in DC. It features guest speakers from all of the major animals rights orgs. They host non-profits such as Pro-Animal Future, International Council for Animal Welfare, DC Voters for Animals, The Humane League, Mercy for Animals, Direct Action Everywhere, and the Veg Society of DC, as well as local grassroots groups like the DC Coalition Against Foie Gras and sanctuaries. They also have special sessions related to health, nutrition and mindfulness.
