Vegas VegFest

I’d never been to Vegas before.  I don’t drink, I don’t gamble, and most of my trips are solo.  As much as I’ve wanted to visit the

My Southern Fried Vegan bowl

city, I didn’t know what I’d do with myself.

I thought Vegas VegFest would be a great introduction to Sin City.  I flew out for the day to see what the vegan scene in Vegas is all about.  It started out great!  Lots of vendors, delicious food, and I got to connect with a few other “internet vegans” I’d never

met in real time.  I was chatting it up with a new friend when it started to rain.  Then it hailed.  Everything was a blur after that.

One of the awesome girls I met invited me back to her loft to chill out and dry my soaking clothes before my flight home.  It wasn’t the trip I expected it to be, but it was a reaffirmation of the beauty of our community.  We look out for each other.  The kindness of my new friend made me love our community even more.
