We Want the Airwaves (or Bandwidth, as it were)
Why is it that I get most of my Atlanta-centric vegan/animal-welfare news via Food Fight? Not that I don’t love them to bits, but they’re in freakin’ Portland, Oregon, all the way on the opposite side of the country. Is there some Atlanta/Georgia-centric blog or listserv I’m missing? I’ve Googled and Yahoo’ed until I’m dizzy, but maybe I’m not using the right search strings. Any ideas, anyone? Links, listservs, or blogs I’ve missed? Return to Eden does a pleasant, friendly mostly-monthly newsletter, but it’s mainly concerned with store events, not with the scene in general. I’ve tried checking Craigslist and Meetup for vegan potlucks, gatherings, demos, and other events, but precious little luck so far. (Admittedly, I find Craigslist’s vaguely retro forums style rather tiring and tend to give up pretty quickly, so it might just be me.)
If there is no Atlanta equivalent to Food Fight’s blog, or to NYC’s SuperVegan, then this is definitely a gap in the market that needs to be filled. I do what I can, in an extremely modest and unimpressive fashion, but I simply don’t have the time to do the research and sorting through even more RSS feeds and similar needed to be a proper clearinghouse for national, international, and local news and goings-on. National and international are easy to get; local Atlanta stuff, not so much.
Really, if anyone out there has any sites or mailing lists I’ve missed, please let me know. I’d love to be more informed about local stuff.
(Please forgive any typos or incoherence in this. It’s nearly midnight, and way past my bedtime. Can’t seem to get to sleep. Not sure why.)
