10/14, Oakland, BAVEG Grass-and-Lake Vegan Food Party -

October 5, 2007

New to the Bay Area? New to vegetarianism? Looking to try a variety of foods? Looking to connect with like-minded people?

THEN please join Pam & Roy and Bay Area Vegetarians for our 5th annual Grass and Lake Vegan Food Party**!! Now that fall is soon approaching (Autumn Equinox is Sunday!), this may be our final opportunity for an outdoor VFP for 2007.

A "Vegan Food Party" is an event for those who enjoy vegan food to gather together and bring their favorite vegan dishes to share. Wanna try a new dish? You're very welcome to "animal experiment" and test it on hungry human volunteers. This event is open to everyone, both veg and non-veg. All food is vegan, which is the lowest common denominator and can be enjoyed by everyone. You can find more details on the link below.

As far as the name .. well, Chris & I have been hosting a "sand and surf" Vegan Food Party at Montara State Beach, so we thought it would be fun to have a corresponding inland water event, hence the Grass & Lake VFP that Pam & Roy have organized in 2006, 2005, 2004, and 2003.

We had over 50 people at this year's Sand-and-Surf VFP party and everyone had a great time! Check out the photos from the most recent Sand-n-Surf 4th of July VFP and last year's Grass-and-Lake.

FYI, the park is open to dogs if they're on a leash. And you can swim in the lake, too. Cheers,Tammy

A dead cow or sheep lying in the pasture is recognized as carrion. The same sort of carcass dressed and hung up in a butchers stall passes as food. - J. H. Kellogg
