The SuperVegan Round-up, December 16: Rambunctious octopus, Vegan Drinks, FS donations, Patterson on AR, Teany’s comeback, ice cream ON FIRE, and much more

[Someone poke this man with a knife.] Vegan Drinks is TOMORROW. Free stuff, and booze, and vegans, and what else could you want for a Thursday night? Teany’s coming back, y’all! The teahouse/maker of delicious baked goods and light meals just began rebuilding the space, more than six months after a fire put them out of business. Pleasepleaseplease, chicken salad melt, come back!! Feeling generous? Or, hey, feeling like a greedy, selfish scumbag? ‘Til the end of the year, your donations to Farm Sanctuary will be matched TIMES TWO by some secret and super generous donor for the rest of ‘09. Easy math: $1 for you = $3 for a cuddly lamb or frisky pig. So if you were planning to give nothing because you thought $20 wasn’t good enough (which it totally is!), now you’re giving $60, and that’s, what? Food for a family of four (goats) for a week or two, right? OK, guys, more easy math: Buy one of Isa’s cookbooks and she will donate ALL the proceeds to Out to Pasture Animal Sanctuary . Christmas shopping: done…

adopt-a-turkey time

Gideon Commercially raised turkeys suffer unspeakable cruelty. After viewing an investigative videotape showing turkey abuse at a factory farm in West Virginia, New York Times journalist Donald G. McNeil Jr. wrote, “The scenes show stomach-turning brutality.” Fortunately, the abusers were charged with felonies and 2 of 3 were recently convicted in a landmark case. (The 3rd case is still pending.) On a much happier note… The good folks at Farm Sanctuary rescue turkeys, when possible, and place them in loving homes. Farm Sanctuary educates the public about the horrors of factory farming –and promotes the joys of compassionate living (and cooking). Every year, instead of eating a turkey, I symbolically adopt one. Meet Gideon. (Handsome boy, isn’t he?) Adopt a turkey > > .

Vegan Drinks XIX: The Recap

The November 19th installment of Vegan Drinks featured a solid lineup. Fresh faces mixed with the very familiar ones. DJ Lil Ray kept the crowd in steady beats. Angels & Kings bartender Jesse replenished drinks effortlessly. And, David from Farm Sanctuary helped us all to adopt turkeys, pigs and cows just in time for the start of the winter holiday season. We owe a special thanks to our friends who donated Farm Sanctuary memberships and adoptions for us to give away to three lucky folks in the crowd. The people lined up to spread their messages during “Shout Outs.” David announced a plethora of upcoming Farm Sanctuary events. Joyce introduced us to Pets for Life NYC . Kneel revealed that Vegetable Slut has a new Web site and vegan-friendly designs for sale. Abby made an appeal for one of the dogs on Friday’s euthanasia list at Animal Care & Control and offered her assistance to anyone who could foster the dog.
