Yesterday's release, no meat in over 30 years, Kurt, owner of Freakin' Vegan, shares his story with me impromptu while I was passing essentially through. I was in town to do an interview way north Jersey with a mother of several vegan children who runs a daycare. We were going to do the interview at her daycare on a Friday evening. I had to arrive at a very specific time when she was done for the day and had a narrow window to work in. But after I setup there was construction outside that suddenly started and it was just too loud. So, we decided it would be best to try again in the morning. I had nowhere to go so I just mapped a vegan restaurant near me. The first and closest place wasn't entirely vegan and the owner wasn't. So, I figured I'd keep looking. That's when I finally found this gem, Freakin Vegan! I was EXHAUSTED and had been gone from home for over a month doing interviews, videographing incredible presentations at Ethos Farm to Health, etc... So, I grabbed something to eat and did this interview quick and then had to find somewhere to sleep. I tried sleeping in my car at the daycare but that was not working at all. I eventually found a hotel kind of far from the daycare and it was so worth it. Pheeewww.... thinking back, that was a rough night. All wasn't lost though. The interview the next day was pretty decent. And I was able to squeeze in this interview with Kurt quick :)
