Vegan MoFo 2010 Is Over. Now What?

Vegan MoFo is over! I'm pretty sad about it. I actually enjoyed posting daily and it seemed to be just the kick in the pants I needed to blog consistently. The one thing I didn't do enough of was read other blogs, but I commented as much as I could and found some great new ones that way. Also, since December is a slow month at work, I'll be able to go back and comment on what I missed.

So now what? There are two things that can help you cheer up a bit:

First, right before MoFo, I posted that I intended to blog more on veganism as a movement and activism for that movement. As a compliment to The Month of Vegan Food, I am going to do a Month of Activism. I do hope you'll read it, contribute what you know, and get some good ideas.

It's not as catchy, but it is important. I'm waiting until January to do it though. I figure with so many December holidays, and possible MoFo burnout, there has to be a bit of a break.

Also, it will give me time to do some reading and resource stockpiling. I'll be participating in Erik Marcus' Meat Market Book Club (it starts today). I'll also read a pile of books on the subject that I've collected, and be leafleting for the first time. So exciting!

Second is the launch of Vegan Corner. If you've still got the writing bug, head over there and start reviewing your favorite vegan locations.

Bonus: Vegan Corner

Vegan Corner launches soon, and it may be even better than combing multi-page PPK threads about the best places to eat an shop in the cities you're visiting. Best part? 10% of proceeds go back to the animals. I can't say much about it that isn't already nicely summed up in the press release, so here's an excerpt:

... entrepreneurs and animal-rights advocates Nathan & Adriana Pope have announced their company, Vegan Corner to launch on December 1st, 2010. Vegan Corner is the world’s largest vegan business directory, with a comprehensive listing of every vegan and vegan-friendly business worldwide, complete with reviews written by fellow plant eaters and health-conscious foodies alike.

While you're at it, check out Sparrow Media. The campaign for a variety of humanitarian causes, including veganism, so the next time some one tries to sass you about helping humans, you can (very kindly) point out that your compassion extends to all animals.
