Does anyone in Philly or South Jersey belong to any cool vegan food groups/swaps? I know there are a ton of vegans in Philly, where are they all hiding?? :P

you mean like a buying collective/co-op?

jaine-pie · **Posted:** Wed Jul 11, 2012 5:27 pm

I mean more like a cooking club that meets with food they've prepared. Sorry I'm new to all this I'm not sure what the correct term would be?

supercarrot · **Posted:** Wed Jul 11, 2012 5:35 pm

oh! a potluck! yeah, we do it from time to time. (not lately though)

jaine-pie · **Posted:** Wed Jul 11, 2012 8:25 pm

POTLUCK! Haha thats the term my brain was searching for. Id love to go to one sometime. By 'we' do you mean that PPK-Philly people have them?

supercarrot · **Posted:** Wed Jul 11, 2012 10:11 pm

yeah. philly PPKers. (it's been a while though)

I think there are a lot of vegans in Philly that are not on the PPK. So, seriously where are they all hiding! Im up for a potluck.

I know right? Philly seems to have a pretty decent vegan scene. Maybe they're too cool for forums :P

And goshdarnit you should! I need to stop making sad meals for one.

i found a facebook group. (when we set up a potluck, we can crosspost there and see if we meet new vegans.)

(there's also vegan drinks philly, but i'm not really a drinker, so i feel awkward going to the events.) https://www.facebook.com/groups/252457841441657/

Ok, I joined the first facebook group and I found some groups on meetup.com too. Im with you SC, I dont really drink or do the bar scene. So Im gonna skip that one.

I have a one-person vegan food group right here just west of Norristown! Everyone come join me!

jaine-pie · **Posted:** Tue Jul 17, 2012 3:47 pm

I've been looking around on meetup lately too but I have yet to commit to anything. Man I wish I didnt just delete my FB account, because I *am* a bar/drinks person.. haha. Didnt know there was a vegan drinks group, interesting.

Norristown is a *bit* far for me. Where is everyone else from? I'm in south Jersey (Collingswood)

Well me, you and SuperCarrot need to get together ASAP! Cause we are all in South Jersey :o)

I'm free this weekend by the way.

I hate going into the city on the weekends unless it's for a really good reason. But that's only because I work in the city and commute in and out 5 days a week. So my weekends are kind of for chores and running errands. I suck at having fun! Force me to have more fun!

not meee! i'm going to ocean city.

this thursday we're going to barcade for the twisted pine brewery launch. https://www.facebook.com/events/360568990679608/
(i know i just said we're not bar people, but this is more of an arcade than a bar. and we tend to only go when they're offering unusual or non-local beers.) if anyone wants to join and hitch a ride, lemme know. (gracia, if you want to drive to collingswood on thursday morning, we can meet you at the 'cade and then give you a ride back to your car.)

::edit:: we should start a camden county-specific thread. :-)

GraciaKai · **Posted:** Tue Jul 17, 2012 4:25 pm

I have to work on Thursdays!

GraciaKai · **Posted:** Tue Jul 17, 2012 4:51 pm

Sorry I cut that off before I was finished. I meant Im lazy and dont go out on weeknights. But thank you for the offer. Really the only free time I have is Saturdays.

Yay Ocean City! We havent been down the shore in forever!

Jaine-pie, if you want to get together Sat or anytime let me know!

supercarrot · **Posted:** Tue Jul 17, 2012 5:15 pm

haha. i was trying to force you to have fun. :-p

GraciaKai · **Posted:** Tue Jul 17, 2012 5:31 pm

I told you I suck!

No really, I cant manage to work all day and then go out at night. Bedtime is 10pm!

supercarrot · **Posted:** Tue Jul 17, 2012 5:52 pm

understandable. (but it starts at 4pm. you never asked us what time we were planning on getting out there. what if we can get you back to your car by 9:00? or even earlier?)

GraciaKai · **Posted:** Tue Jul 17, 2012 6:04 pm

Yeh, I didnt ask cause I already know I wont be up for it. We have a rule that we dont go out on weeknights. We are both up at 5am. So we learned the hard way that if we go out on weeknights its never a good idea.

Gosh Im lame. Dont hate me!

supercarrot · **Posted:** Tue Jul 17, 2012 6:32 pm

ok. :-)

jaine-pie · **Posted:** Wed Jul 18, 2012 3:23 pm

South Jerseyers unite! :D Where is Barcade? Is it in Philly or NJ? Sounds strangely familiar.

We should definitely all get together sometime! I might be free Saturday, GraciaKai, but I'm not sure yet.
