Seattle VegFest!!!!

Yesterday I went with Brandy and Richard to the Seattle VegFest.It was incredible!Being vegan,somehow,seems even awesomer.It was even better though that Brandy invited me in the first place,and the whole trip was awesome.We listened to a biography of Kid Rock(yodelin in the valley?)were way off schedule but still managed to do pretty much everything,talked a lot,the drive didn't feel like forever,and yeah it was just great.

Our first stop,the vegan cafe The Globe.It was past 1:00 when we got there,but it was till brunch.Richard and Brandy shared a huge strawberry flapjack,and I had a cinnamon roll.warmed up.so good.watch me eat it:

Then we went to Hillside Quickies.An all vegan sammich shop.Richard's favourite.He brought a tupperware so he could take one home.The bread on his spiced tofu burger looked like fish and chip batter.

Then we went to PCC market and bought more stuff.They had a ton of vegan stuff in their bakery.Too bad they suck because they were supposed to have the new purely decadent flavours but didn't.Oh well,I still got a lot of good stuff.

Then we drove home,didn't find out who the #1 alternative rock musician(s) was,and I got dropped off at 12:30.It was great.I hope it happenes again.
