I know that i told a few of you out there that i wasn’t going to go to the AMC due to lack of funds, but my friends Joe and Sparky over at Microcosm Publishing informed me that they are kidnapping me and taking me away to the Allied Squeakers Conference (yes, we know the conference is no longer in Bowling Green, but we still stop at Squeakers on our way to Detroit and our way back). I’m looking forward to hanging out with some fellow bloggers (mala, if you are reading, did i read that you are going? if so, we need to hang out).

speaking of blogging, things in the world of the vegan have changed over the past couple months. I’m getting back to my posi-kid self and i just got high-speed internet at home (yup, you can finally get high-speed internet in the middle of nowhere). I’ve been secretly talking with others (not anyone that reads this blog, and not using this pseudonym) about whether or not it makes since for me to continue blogging. I decided it does. A few things are going to change, though. For example, i’m giving up the half-assed anonymity. I’m going to be blogging using my for real name. That means i’m going to be moving away from this blog. Its time for vegankid to grow up. Don’t worry, i’ll always be a kid at heart. In fact, i even started a new blog a few days ago. I’m not going to reveal anything about it until i have a few more posts up and get some of the details finished, but it is a blog dedicated solely to my illustrations… mostly by daily sketch journal. That blog will always remain separate from my other, yet to be announced, blog that will be far more overtly political. That’s all i’m going to share for now. If you have any ideas for either blog, i would love to hear them.

And, of course, i’ve been blogging along using my for real name over at the Deep Roots: Animal Rights Blog. But, admittedly, i haven’t been putting as much into that blog as i would like to. We just got a second blogger over there, though, and she also wants to start blogging about the interconnections of struggle and getting more into the bigger picture things (instead of lazy updates and second-hand blogging).

Ok, that’s it for now. Stay tuned for more updates.
