Fortnight & Eating Animals

We had our first live show on Saturday night!
It went well. We got some good feedback today and yesterday, too, which made us feel good! We'll be back in a fortnight.
Check out our playlist, and follow us on Facebook!


I'm loving (and horrified by) this book Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer. Its not very much different from other books by other authors (Michael Pollan, Barbara Kingsolver, Eric Scholsser) that describe the environmental and social consequences of our factory farm system, but its better. He's just such a great writer, and the premise is a little different. Also, unlike most other books I've read on the topic, JSF focuses on fisheries and dairies, too. He uses the term "selective omnivore" a lot in the book, and although I don't like labels, I suppose that applies to me, and Jake, and the whole situation we've got going here. I'm almost done. Let me know if you want to borrow it.
