Well, the Grumpy Vegan is back after a three-week hiatus of U.S. travel and whatnot.
This included speaking at the 15th Annual Animal Law Conference at the National Center for Animal Law at the Lewis and Clark Law School in Portland, OR and at Becoming the Change, the 22nd annual International Compassionate Living Festival, which was organized by the Culture and Animals Foundation and the Animals and Society Institute.
In Portland, I made two trips to Powell’s with my good friend and ASI colleague, Bee Friedlander. Powell’s has to be the best book shop the Grumpy Vegan has ever visited. It’s huge, it’s organized and it includes new, used and remaindered books. Among the titles purchased was one that I’m particularly looking forward to reading is Brian Luke’s Brutal: Manhood and the Exploitation of Animals.
I also spent five days each with Bee working in the ASI Ann Arbor, MI office and with Sue Coe in New York, when we discussed our forthcoming project, Topsy, soon-to-be-published in Blab 18 and much more.
