Hello! This is Dan from The Gay Vegans. My husband Mike is coming to Austin with me. He has been weaving some amazing vegan creations. I’m writing to see how much it would be to get him abooth at the Bazaar, and/or if that is something that could happen.

It would be nice to see MORE diversity. Surely veganism is for everyone but I wouldn’t know that looking at your line up over the past couple of years. Veganism is quickly and awkwardly becoming a privileged option for A particular class of human beings. If the goal is to TRULY help others then you’ve missed it , but if it’s to be part of a fad you’ve hit the head on the nail.

When I try to leave my name, email and interest via my Android phone, the fields are uneditable. In fact it jumps straight to the logo image for some reason. I will try via my computer and wanted you yo be aware of the mobile bug 😉 Thanks!!
