I bought Veganomicon there, as well as numerous other great things. Plus, they have been supportive of the magazine since day one. In fact, if you poke around there you may still find a T.O.F.U. shirt or two, as well as a copy of Issue One or Two.

Although they may not seem like the most obvious vegan-friendly shop, they have a great selection of vegan lit, and some of the staff walk the walk. So, if you ever find yourself in Winnipeg, be sure to add Kustom to your list of things to see and do. Ask for Cass, and tell her Ryan sent you.
 

Why run a vegan-friendly business?
Crazy not to.

How long have you been in business?
Sixteen years.

Favourite part about it?
The feeling like you’re doing the right thing.

Anything new people should know about?
“They” are using cat & dog fur for faux fur! Fuckers!

Who would win in a fight: Quinoa or Cous Cous?
Quinoa = complete protein.

What’s THE thing a vegan has to do in your town?
Participate in THE fart party!

Have I mentioned that yet?), the fine folks at the Vida Vegan conference just added two new speakers to the list. Yes, the list that was already amazing, and not just because it included me.

Breaking News: The Pee Your Vegan Pants Edition (vidavegancon.com)

That’s right, both Terry Hope Romero (Veganomicon, Viva Vegan!, Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, etc…) and Colleen Patrick-Goudreau (Compassionate Cooks, The Joy of Vegan Baking, Color Me Vegan!, etc…) have been added to the conference’s lovely schedule. As the post suggests, you may now begin to pee yourself.

Of course, I think this means that I will need to be packing my interviewer hat into my luggage. With so many great people set to be in one just-as-great city, how could I not find out their thoughts on the important subjects, such as the quinoa versus cous cous battle?

Now, do I even own luggage?
