This is also in San Jose - at the Mexican Heritage Plaza at 1700 Alum Rock. This is another chance to be social and stuff, and you'll also be supporting Asian American theater! For further information, contact Sarah at SaKishler JULY: 4th: Vegy BBQ/picnic followed by remote viewing of fireworks. Location TBA at a later date. 5th: RO at Di Lac Vegetarian Cuisine, 1644 E. Capitol Expressway, San Jose. For further information, contact Sarah at SaKishler 13th: Vegy Star Party. Whether you know a lot...a little...or nothing at all about the night sky, this will be a good chance to learn about the planets and stars above Northern California while enjoying the company of fellow veggies for good conversation...tasty vegy snacks...and perhaps a shooting star or two. Although a telescope is nice, binoculars will do just fine... and if all else fails, we will be doing mostly " naked-eye " astronomy. Things will get under way at 8:00 PM (while we still can see each other!) to give us all a chance to socialize...and as the sun gradually sinks under the Western horizon, more of the night sky will present itself to us. Other recommended things to bring: flashlight, bug repellant, sweatshirt with hood, comfortable shoes with socks, and layers of clothes to dampen any chill from the evening air. Location TBA nearer to the date of the event. For further information, please call Phil at 408)410-2186. So move over, Orion-the-hunter...the veggies are coming! 20th: PL.
