About DC Vegan Drinks:

DC Vegan Drinks is a monthly offline social networking event for people interested in sharing veganism and advocating for animal rights. Our mission is to bring together people from all walks of life (lawyers, students, small business owners, etc…) to build a stronger community and promote the sharing of resources. A lot of people build these networks online but never really connect socially, this is where our shin-dig falls in. There is no requirement except for an interest in veganism, animal rights, and to have a little after-work fun.

What you need to do:

* Be friendly, even to any non-vegans that may come.
* Talk about what you do in your free time, what business or organization you work for, who makes the best vegan cookie, your blog, etc…
* Oh, most importantly, have a drink and relax with some fellow vegans.

What to bring:

* Business Cards (if you want to share).
* If you don’t have business cards–flyers or pamphlets are cool too. Please remember to keep all distributions related to animal welfare/animal rights/veganism/etc.
* Cash for tips for your friendly bartenders.

Other info: There is NO dress code, come how you feel. It’s FREE, but drinks are NOT. Bring CASH to tip your bartenders. Some of the places we visit are 21 and over so make sure you check above to see if this months is.

Taking Action for Animals starts today!

Taking Action for Animals, a conference for animal advocacy put on by the Humane Society of the United States, starts today!

Friday has a couple optional workshops and an evening welcome reception. The conference goes into full force on Saturday July 24.

Learn how you can tap into your skills to help animals. Each day, there are workshops based around the following tracks: Building Skills, Learning the Issues, Public Policy, and Reaching Out. You can choose the one that is most fitting for what you want to learn or accomplish in your own life. Monday is lobby day, when you can join with others to ask your elected officials to pass laws that help, not hurt, animals.

Be sure to pick up the special limited coupon from Cafe Green, DC’s only all-vegan, full-service restaurant, that will be available at Compassion Over Killing’s exhibit table in the Exhibitor’s Hall.

The conference is at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park. Of course, all the food served is vegan.

You can still register – go to www.takingactionforanimals.org ($165 for full conference starting with the welcome reception tonight, or $115 for just one day).

New Vegan Menu: Founding Farmers

Compassion Over Killing has been doing a lot of restaurant outreach, working with great restaurants around DC to get Vegan items on the menu. This month COK’s feature restaurant is Founding Farmers.

Opened in September 2008, Founding Farmers offers farm-inspired American true food and drink in a modern, casual and eco-friendly setting. From our modern farmhouse, our menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner include homemade and ’scratch-made’ traditional American classics inspired by the heartland.

Founding Farmers is located three blocks West of the White House at 1924 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W. Washington, D.C. You can download their new Vegan menu here.

I have not had a chance to visit yet, but the menu looks great and I will defiantly be making a trip their soon. If you have been let us know what you think!

DC Meat Free Week

On Monday, word of Meat Week reached a few of DC’s vegetarians and vegans. Given the proven links between meat and high cholesterol, heart attacks, cancer and even…ahem, poor sexual performance, we became very concerned for the health of our beloved District.

We decided the only solution was to immediately offer Washingtonians the chance to experience amazing greens from some of DC’s most exciting restaurants during a Meat-Free Week.

The schedule is an impressive one! The restaurants participating in DC’s inaugural Meat-Free Week include RAMMY Award Winners, America’s first certified organic restaurant, the 2009 OpenTable.com Diner’s Choice Winner, and Washington City Paper’s 2009 Best Bakery and Best Vegan Restaurant. One restaurant boasts 32 secret doors. The First Lady has dined at two of the restaurants on the list, and the President even joined her at one.

Two of the restaurants are debuting new vegan menus, and one is offering discounted rates off their regular prices. Gene Baur, Farm Sanctuary President and Co-founder, will be attending dinner one night. And two of the events are fundraisers, including one with all profits donated to Haitian relief.

One year of DC Vegan Drinks…

Its been 1 year of DC Vegan Drinks! For the most part I think it has been very successful, since people still keep coming. We started off at the Science Club, than people wanted to go to different places. So we started to try to book a different place each month, but that got difficult to coordinate with the Bars/Restaurants. We had a few DC Vegan Drinks at Bread and Brew by middle of the year and then we decided to make Bread and Brew the official DC Vegan Drinks spot. They were great hosts and everyone enjoyed the place, and the staff is wonderful too! Oh, and I can’t forget to mention the Chef, Chef Eugene, who can defiantly make some great Vegan dishes. We also did a few benefits this year which were very successful and we plan on continuing them in 2010. Also for 2010 we plan to start having live music at as many events as we can, we hope to have veg bands if possible, so if you know of any or you are in any let us know. And if you have any thoughts or comments for future events please let me know. That being said I hope to see you at tonight’s event, and bring a few friends!
