That poster is awesome!!! Sounds like a great week of vegan fun. Wish I could be there partaking.
This sounds awesome, what fun!
Portland is just too much fun – and what a brilliant poster. (And, hi, Jess. Don’t know if you remember me from such blogs as Almost Vegetarian. It’s been awhile. I’m in PDX now and loving it and the food!)
Cheers.
