I didn't realize this was happening this weekend. Is anybody going?
It's a two-day festival. I would like to go, and if I do, I would probably go Sunday.

Holy long list of exhibitors! The whole thing looks so cool. I'm always intrigued by these veg expos, but I've never been to one. I love reading the reviews afterwards about the new products that are introduced there . If you go make sure to report back to us with lots of details!

Wow, that sounds incredible! Wish I wasn't so travel phobic...I would love to go to something like this.

I am hoping I can still go Sunday. Right now, I have a wretched cold, blaaaah, and I have found that if I don't take care of it, things get worse, so I may have to rest up instead. But if I am better by Sunday, I will definitely go. The vegan chef from Philly who runs Vedge restaurant (and formerly Horizons vegan restaurant) is going to be there. I definitely want to try out some of the new Vedge dishes.

KLS, bummer about travel phobia. Would be so fun to meet you, and you as well, thefadedone!

I caught the dreaded cold, too. Hope you feel better by Sunday!

How far are you from NY PTree ?

How far are you from NY PTree ?

Less than a couple of hours by car, but I hate driving into the city, so I have to tack on an extra 45 minutes if I take the train, which I usually do.

Thank you, KLS. I hope you are better soon, too!

So you are near NY ? I understand your hate of driving into a big city as it is time consuming and expensive to park.

My state borders the state of New York and I am probably 100 miles or so from New York City. I live north and east of the city. So, a couple of hours by car, or slightly less depending on traffic.

That is quite far from NY, however much nearer than us lot on the other side of the pond.

Hehe, true! Still, I consider anything under a three-hour drive doable for a day trip. I am feeling a little better today, so I'm hoping I can go to the veg fest tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

Is that a return trip ? Fingers crossed that you'll be up and about for tomorrow PTree.

Thank you, shyvas, me, too. Nope, that would be one way. It depends on the event. If it's a rock concert or something, I would drive even farther one way.

I don't think that I would do a 3 hour drive to go to an event. I don't like driving over here and it's not something that I look forward to.

Indeed, I don't think I would like driving if I actually lived in a big city. Even when I lived in Philly, I took public transportation whenever possible. Driving in my area isn't too bad most of the time.

I am staying home today, though. I'm still quite tired from this cold, so I am going to rest up and take care of my body.
