Are you a local vegan in the South Bay?

I have been vegan for five years and I do not know ANY other vegans. My husband and friends rave over my meals and baked goods but I am always the one cooking because they don't know how to make a vegan meal. Seriously people? It's not rocket science.

It would be nice to meet a few local folks for the occasional get together or potluck with stimulating conversation and a lot of laughs.

Shoot me a note if you're interested in making a new friend in time for the holidays and the new year!

Come up to SF and you'll find lots of us!

There are also a number of awesome ppkers in Santa Cruz.

I'm in SF, but after having a donut from Psycho Donuts, I'm almost convinced to move south...

That place is around the corner from me and I've never been there. Guess I should go.

Hello! I suck at consistently visiting forums. But I am in San Jose! My boyfriend and I are both vegan (well, I am still sorta converting, but I'm like 99% there; I have been cooking vegan for years though).

San Jose is a weird little place. People are always in bubbles and it's hard to meet people. It's huge and sprawling and there are surprising corners -- always in a strip mall -- of deliciousness.

Do you like Vietnamese noodle soups? I think there are enough places with veg pho/bun hue down here that a crawl could be arranged.

Potlucks are also a good idea. I know other vegetarians, ex-vegans, and vegan-friendlies, but not a lot of other South Bay-dwelling vegans, I guess.

I'm down in Santa Cruz! And so are some other extremely good people.

I just moved to San Jose and I don't know anybody, vegan or non-vegan. :)

couroupita · **Posted:** Thu Jan 20, 2011 11:10 pm

So would anyone be up for a South Bay PPK meetup? :)

lobsteriffic · **Posted:** Fri Jan 21, 2011 11:54 am

Me! I've been here 3 months and I haven't met a single vegan buddy.

Me! I also just moved to San Jose recently. (disclaimer: only 95% vegan)

So.......south bay ppk meetup in Feb or March? Who's down?

lobsteriffic · **Posted:** Wed Feb 02, 2011 11:46 pm

I'm totally in for this. Feb or March works for me, I don't have a very exciting social life, ha.

lobsteriffic · **Posted:** Mon Feb 07, 2011 9:09 pm

Sooooo...how about a dinner meet up sometime? When works the best for everyone? Weekends generally work best for me but I can make certain weekdays work if need be.

I haven't really been to any vegan restaurants since I moved here...any good suggestions? I'm not used to having so many options! I'd also be down for a pot luck or a picnic or something.

nothingtosay · **Posted:** Tue Feb 08, 2011 3:41 am

That sounds good! Anything after Feb 22 works for me, weekends or late evenings are best.
My suggestion is Vegetarian House in San Jose - vegan Chinese food run by a cult! Good Karma is good too but often crowded - I guess I'd classify that as hippie food for lack of a better term.
But I'm totally open to other suggestions!

How about Saturday the 26th? Does that work for folks? Or March 4th or 5th? (Friday and Saturday, respectively)

ameyfm · **Posted:** Tue Feb 08, 2011 8:01 pm

oh fun! I'm in Santa Cruz and I'd love to meet you South Bay folks. I lived in San Jose for a couple of years, a while back & I liked living there. I think I might be busy on the 5th, but that 26th could work. :)

lobsteriffic · **Posted:** Tue Feb 08, 2011 9:45 pm

yay! That would be awesome to meet you, I've been following your blog for so long! Although that statement makes me feel kind of like a stalker.

nothingtosay · **Posted:** Tue Feb 08, 2011 11:40 pm

The 26th works for me, or the 4th/5th.

couroupita · **Posted:** Thu Feb 10, 2011 2:28 am

26th or 4/5th works for me!!

lobsteriffic · **Posted:** Thu Feb 10, 2011 2:15 pm

How about we say the 26th since that seems to work for everyone? Yay!

nothingtosay · **Posted:** Thu Feb 10, 2011 5:23 pm

Would lunch time work on the 26th? Just got invited to something else that night..

lobsteriffic · **Posted:** Thu Feb 10, 2011 6:29 pm

Lunch works for me.
