- | ** The 8th International Vegan Festival will be held August 6-13,
- | 1995, in San Diego, California. At the last Festival, held in Tossa
- | de Mar, Spain, hundreds of vegans from all over Europe, the United
- | States, Australia, and New Zealand joined for a week of
- | conferences, lectures, networking, socializing, hiking, lying on
- | the beach and great meals. The 1995 Festival, to be held jointly by
- | the American Vegan Society, Vegetarian Union of North America, and
- | Vegans International, is expected to be even bigger. Volunteers are
- | needed starting immediately, if interested please contact:
- | Max Friedman, 226 East 13th Street #25, New York, NY 10003

- Coastal California is pretty vegetarian friendly (which probably
- won't suprise anyone). Here in San Diego, veggies are redily
- accomodated at most restaurants. Also, the print media, in particular
- the weekly "Reader" freebie magazine, considers vegetarians when
- reviewing restaurants. When visiting an omnivore restaurant, the
- reviewer will add something like "vegetarians will love all the
- wonderful options" or "good selection of vegetarian entrees" in her
- reviews. I've found a lot of great restaurants this way. If you drive
- east, you're on your own. Lots of rednecks east of San Diego.
