A Quiet Sunday Afternoon
By Monica on March 11th, 2008
Ok, so it wasn’t so quiet! On Sunday Ray and I went to Peta2’s Take Action Conference at DePaul University in Chicago, which was followed by a KFC protest.
About 50 people gathered on the street for the protest, including members from Chicago’s Mercy For Animals, another great group. If you haven’t attended a protest before, I highly recommend it. It’s about the most fun one can possibly have standing on a street corner in Chicago on a cold winter day!
One week outside of St. Patty’s Day, and just a few feet away from one of Chicago’s many Irish Pubs, we even picked up a few extra supporters, even though they were highly intoxicated and some of them bleeding from the head for unknown reasons.
All in all, great fun (for everyone except KFC, so sad!)
I also want to thank So What Do Vegetarians Eat Anyway for honoring me with an Excellent Blogger Award. I’m so glad people enjoy visiting and am humbled to be in such great company!

Good for you for going to that protest! I’ve always wanted to do a protest… but in Texas, you’d be more likely to find a PRO-meat demonstration
Oh well. It’s good that you got some extra protestors too, even if they might not have been sober enough to know what they were protesting for LOL!
And YOU deserve the award as well, most definitely!
