Vej Naturals Night of Thanks
When it opened this summer, Vej Naturals quickly became one of the highest rated restaurants on the Boston Vegan Association database, getting an overall rating of 4.4 out of 5.

Scallywaggle’s, one of (so far as I can tell) two all-vegan pizzarias in the US (the other is Pizza Pi in Seattle) is opening another place in JP, on the site of the former Felix Pizzaria. It will be…

Elvis Perkins, Dr. Dog, and Edward Hopper
Updated: See photos at Flickr. Way too hot. Dr. Dog brought out the indie kids dancing in the front row, and the mix seemed off – vocals too low, all a bit muddy. But maybe I’m just being cranky because it was too damn hot. Apparently the lead singer’s quit smoking, which made his performance…

Austin, via Houston, via Memphis, via Boston . . .
I’m visiting the new Optaros office in Austin this week. Who knew it could be so challenging to get between two major US cities? There was really no direct flight that was going to make this easy.
