A belated Meat-Out recap

[Guest guest]

Better late than never...

 

Bay Area Vegetarians have discovered a WONDERFUL location for tabling

and leafletting: Lytton Plaza in Palo Alto, which is on the main drag

of University Avenue. According to the city itself, this is a free-

speech zone and no permits are required, as long as you don't block

the sidewalk or sell anything for money. There's a lot of foot- ,

bike-, and auto-traffic, and plenty of benches to sit on.

 

Tami and Nate set up a table with a laptop running a PETA video, and

had tons of literature to hand out, and even crackers and cheez dip

samples! Chuck, Clyde, and Faune were extraordinary leafletters. I

brought a bunch more literature courtesy of BAV. We talked about

revisiting this site again; our gatherings could be impromptu, since

we don't need permits.

 

Mike and I had also demo'ed at the Palo Alto KFC earlier that day,

and 2 potential customers literally stopped in their tracks and

turned away from KFC's doorstep as they read our leaflet! Thanks to

Mike's generosity, I am going to look into laminating the PETA signs.
