Damn, all these people saying they wished they lived closer. Well, I live in Portland but I’m too damn poor!
Maybe one of these times I will get to go!

I’m also in town and just *cannot* justify a $40 meal (I’d love to give much more if I could!)…It’s hard, I know everyone’s tight right now and that includes totally awesome activism conferences. But I have to feed my dog. I’ll talk to some friends and my partner…we really want to support this.

Actually, we’re canceling the event because we didn’t sell enough tickets. Maybe next time!

Oh damn. I wanted to go to this SO BAD but we weren’t sure if we could afford it until just now. I’m sad to see this isn’t happening, hopefully there will be another chance to eat such a menu! I guess there aren’t enough affluent vegans in PDX, $40 a seat is really, really tough.

Sorry it fizzled instead of fizzing…at first I thought it was because of H1N1A flu!

Do you need volunteers for this benefit?
