Hey SoCal vegans,

Just in case you didn't know (you probably do!), there are a couple of fun vegan events coming up:

1. L.A. Vegan Beer Fest. May 4. If you've never been, and you like craft beer and vegan food trucks, this is the event for you. :) Tony (from Mohawk Bend, Tony's Darts Away, and Golden Road fame), Quarrygirl, and Nic Adler (of the Roxy) put this on -- I think it's the 4th annual? I've been the last two years and it's awesome.

2. WorldFest. May 19. All vegan, very hippie, sometimes crazy speakers, but fun. Lots of booths, animal adoptions, great vegan food stands, etc. Easy to get to using the Orange Line.

Thanks. It's not a vegan event, but the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books is coming up on April 20-21.

I will be in L.A for that, so that's my Sunday sorted - thanks! Will you be going?

Some of my fave authors are going to be there, I wish I was coming a month earlier just for this event!

I will be going to WorldFest! I'll probably be there all day hanging out, and helping staff either the HSUS or Compassion Over Killing tables for a couple of hours.

Jaclyn Moriarty (Aussie author) and Elizabeth Wein (author of the amazing Code Name Verity). I hope you enjoy the festival, LFL!

I did. I was at the panel Elizabeth Wein was on, too, but I got there late and was only there for 15 minutes of that. I started Code Name Verity a while ago but had to put it down because of the interrogation scenes. My grandparents were Holocaust survivors so that is a difficult time period for me to read about. But I heard from many friends who loved the book and if she writes another YA set at a different time period I will read it.

She does have a new book coming out, Rose Under Fire!

Thanks.

I see tickets for the LA Vegan Beer Fest are sold out, but there's a mention of non-drinking tickets sold at the door. I wonder if that means those are still available?

The food vendors are listed at this link:

Never mind, all tickets are sold out. I'll have to try to go next year.
