    Neicee on Jan 15, 2007.

  • Vegan Chicago

     I would suggest some kind of game. Maybe everyone has to talk to someone they don't know and share one interesting thing about him/her to the group. If the group is too big, they could break up into smaller groups.

    Tiffany on Oct 7, 2006.

  • Vegan Chicago

     From now on when I attend events there should be "Feed The Hungry" donations set up. YOU YES YOU you can feed the hungry and by hungry I mean myself the only reason I couldn't order more at veggie bite was because I ran out of funding. I mean all I ate was 2 combos, a side order, a cake, and two medium ice creams. And I still wounding up eating my friends vegan french toast from pick me up later that day. So people put a little extra money aside for me for the next event. In return I will grow a really sweet beard, call myself Noah and eat 2 of everything off the menu.
