Action for Animals Austin

I had no idea Holly Marie Combs was the kind of celebrity to be a spokesperson for animal rights. I think it's even better that she has done it for Austin's Animal Center. They're calling it the Summer of Love campaign. It's too bad she's no longer vegetarian (I think I've read that she was for 7 years, but I don't know why that ended).

It may be that very few of you actually even noticed that the website changed servers, but it has in fact moved.

UPDATE: Unfortunately we've had to postpone the first stop on the Tour of Vegan Trailers. The new date of September 3rd is tentative (frankly, I just did it to put in a future date so I could keep the event on Facebook), but we'll let everyone know what the real date is soon.
