Sarah, Meena, Melisse, and Elaine - This year, I am loathe to make a general announcement on the southbayveggies list to invite everybody to the SF Mime Troupe in Santa Cruz since we had a horrible time trying to get to Santa Cruz last year and were stuck in the car for 3 hours with a Libertarian named Randy who wasn't even a vegetarian. I'm thinking that making this a grassroots effort instead may have more positive results. So, we are still planning on going to the Aug 17 showing in Santa Cruz and, if any of you would like to come along, you are welcome to join us. We are planning to dine at the Saturn Cafe after the show. (They are vegetarian, but not vegan. However, they do have vegan offerings.) If you-all are interested, we may have to have multiple cars to get down to Santa Cruz. Also, feel free to invite others (I don't have Glenn's nor Richard's emails, for example). It was good seeing you all at Sarah's shindig this year!
