     Heya gang! Before it gets too late in the week I wanted to mention my wife and I are putting an arsenal of our arts and crafts for sale at the above event this weekend. I’ll have a lot of my acrylic and spray paints on sale (very small canvases to large pieces on wood) and my wife deals in scented soy candles and handmade crafts like macrame. We’re gonna be doing some product giveaways: if you purchase at least two paintings you can get a free candle! I’ll be doing the Mr. Personality thing at our table in case you wanna schmooze face-to-face. If you happen to be from my area (Eastern Massachusetts/New England) and you mention you follow me on Tumblr, you will be in a for a 10% discount if you're looking to spend some Federal Reserve notes. The whole event is based on supporting a local teen batting Leukemia, so come on out, meet your old pal th3-0bjectivist and have a jolly good time! Hope to see ya there. 34 Powder Mill Rd, Maynard, MA 01754 on Saturday! 10am-4pm! Shameless plug complete!

Hey!! I don't know if you've already done this, but if you haven't, then I really think you should order their suicide prevention fundraiser t-shirts. It would really help out the The100CharityProject. And if you've already done this, or unable to, then please spread the word to other fans and really anybody. It's a good cause. Thanks 😊😊😊

Sounds lovely!

Anyone wanting more information, the link is here.

I just had the best time tonight!

My Vegan meetup group hosted Gene Baur to come and speak to all of us about his work with Farm Sanctuary and about veganism. His slideshow was informative and in some parts very, very sad, because he showed photos of the disgusting things that happen to animals inside factory farms/slaughterhouses. I wish I'd brought tissues because I needed them as did the lady sitting in front of me and I would have liked to have shared them with her. But I'm sure we weren't the only ones swiping away tears with our bare hands.

But, Gene was a very positive and upbeat speaker and I enjoyed it very much. He ended his presentation on a high note with a photo of a cute little smiling piggy. He also has a book if you are curious about him and his work.  For all that are interested, Farm Sanctuary in New York is having its annual Hoe-Down! August 6-7. You get vegan eats, you get to camp on the grounds and you get to meet (if the animals want to meet you, for this isn't a petting zoo) the rescued farmed animals. Farm Sanctuary is a great cause if you want to donate as well, or if you can, spend your time instead of your money.

I most likely will be going if I can get tickets *crosses fingers*

On a personal note, I met a fantastic woman named Zena, of all things! So I teased her a little and asked if people brought up the warrior princess, which of course she laughed and said that they did. She was so cute! So we exchanged information and I hope to see her again. She was really pretty awesome. And we shared vegan ice cream, so that was a great ending to my night. Yay!
