Easy Like Sunday Morning

This is how I know I’m pretty much busier than ever:  I opened this page to start writing my blog post over four hours ago.  Every once in a while I’d click back to see how far along I was (blank page every time) and then forget about it entirely when something else came up.

Seriously, it just happened again.  There was a 30 minute break between the last paragraph and this one. 

And another 45 minutes between these two.  FOCUS, RED.  FOCUS!

…Ok, now it’s about 48 hours since I started this blog post, and I’m even more zombie-fied than I was in the first place.  Let’s just get to these show notes before I melt into my computer, yes?

BUT FIRST!  CONGRATULATIONS to the winners of the Red Radio Ticket Giveaway for The Seed: A Vegan Experience!

IT’S THE WEEK OF THE SHOW, Y’ALL! 

(Sometimes the Musical Theatre Nerd in me shines through…I can’t help it.)

Seriously, though…The Seed: A Vegan Experience is happening in FIVE FREAKING DAYS and aside from the near bath-salts-level hysteria I’m suffering, all I feel is utter excitement and disbelief that this project is coming to fruition.  Honestly, it was always comfortable in my brain as ‘this thing’ that was happening in the distant future, like going to see a movie or a trip to a theme park…but man, it’s real.  And it’s here.  And I’m so super grateful to be a part of it!

You know who else is mega excited?  HOW APROPOS OF YOU TO ASK!  None other than Jasmin Singer and Mariann Sullivan of Our Hen House, that’s who!  The two vegan powerhouses joined me on Red Radio Episode Twenty Nine for a special, extended interview on Animal Rights, vegan outreach, the future of the movement and - of course - all the juicy details on The Seed!  This one’s not to be missed!

Red Radio Episode Twenty Nine celebrates the arrival of The Seed: A Vegan Experience, featuring a special extended interview with none other than Jasmin Singer and Mariann Sullivan of Our Hen House.  Erin Red joins the lovely ladies in a three-way-interview to discuss all kinds of activism, the recent surge in the vegan movement, and all the amazing attractions you can expect to enjoy at The Seed in NYC!  Plus, a GIVEAWAY!!!  Email Erin Red describing what you’re most looking forward to exploring at The Seed, and you could win one of three pairs of tickets to the event – on Saturday 06/16, Sunday 06/17…or BOTH!  Make sure to send your entry to erinredradio@gmail.com before 11:59p on Wednesday, June 13th, 2012 and stay tuned to Twitter/FB/tumblr for the winner announcements!  SEE YOU AT THE SEED!  Please consider supporting Red Radio by visiting erinred.com and clicking the DONATE button, and subscribe to Red Radio on iTunes today!  If you love what you hear, leave a glowing review, or drop Erin Red a line at erinredradio@gmail.com.  You can also read her blog at erinred.tumblr.com, and find her on Facebook and Twitter @erinred.

You know what’s cute?  JL Fields, the vegan advocate/blogger/WFAS Board Member/social media darling/superwoman with whom I chatted on Episode Twenty Three of Red Radio, told me she was NERVOUS to hear herself speak on the show.  HOW CUTE IS THAT?!  Especially considering the woman is a total powerhouse and a true inspiration (there’s that word again…).  She was amazing, was she not?!  

Also, in “What A Coinky-dink!” News - have you heard EP120 of the Our Hen House Podcast, hosted by Seed Advisory Board Members Jasmin Singer and Mariann Sullivan?  They featured a brief segment about The Seed: A Vegan Experience.  So that means I featured them, and they featured me, all in the same week without any previous knowledge.  I’m telling you, our stars must be aligned!

Alright, enough gab.  Onward to the Show Notes!

If someone had approached me a year ago and said, “What’s crackin’, Red…one year from now you’re totally going to be working with a team of major vegan bigwigs to create the biggest vegan show NYC has ever seen”, I’d be all “GTFOH, son!”.  Seriously, I’d probably slap you for being so ridiculous, too.  

That’s not very nice of me. 

On the real, though…here I am!  The Seed: A Vegan Experience is just over a month away and I’m SUPER blessed to be working amongst some of my vegan idols on such a big event.  Wanna get to know some of them a little better?  You totally do!  Give Episode Twenty Three a listen!

In Red Radio Episode Twenty-Three, Erin Red introduces us to the inspiring team of women behind The Seed: A Vegan Experience!  In an earnest interview with JL Fields (JL Goes Vegan, Stop Chasing Skinny, etc.), we learn about JL’s incredible journey to veganism and activism post-40.  And in the latest installment of The Compassionate Clip of the Week, we’re introduced to two powerhouse vegan women: Jasmin Singer and Mariann Sullivan of Our Hen House.  The kicker?  All three amazing women have joined The Seed’s advisory board!  Have you reserved your tickets yet?!  Remember:  Red Radio is 100% listener supported!  Please consider donating by visiting Erin Red and Red Radio at erinred.com and clicking the DONATE button!  You can also read her blog at erinred.tumblr.com, and find her on Facebook and Twitter @erinred.
