Well, the day is officially here!!!  Can you smell the awesome?  The vegan blogosphere is alive and kicking right now.  I’ve been reading glorious things for the past few hours and have decided that this year’s VeganMoFo is going to be epic.  So, why not show a little love to some of the MoFo virgins?  Because ain’t no party like a newbie party…

Lauren got things in full swing by starting the first MoFo survey.  I’m sure every blog will have it posted before month’s end.  So go ahead and fill it out already.  We want to learn more about you…but not in a creepy way.

Remember how it was when you first became a vegan?  Well, Carl and Yvonne share their memories of those days.  Plus, we even have a MoFoer who is turning vegan just for this event!  Who says we don’t make things happen?  We are movers and shakers up in here.  Better recognize, sucka!

Kim proves there is life beyond cheese over at C’est La Vegan.  Meanwhile, Keeryah is putting those cookbooks to the test like many of us need too.  Raise your hand if you are addicted to cookbooks but always forget to cook from them.  Now is the perfect time to dust them off and show us whatcha got!

If you happen to be one of the many people still searching for a theme, here are some of my favorites: 31 Days of Cupcakes, ABCs of Vegan Goodness (a new food item for each letter of the alphabet…I can’t wait to see what’s happening for the letter “X”), and Creativity and Adaptation (creating new recipes or veganizing omni classics).

Before wrapping things up, I’d like to extend a special thanks to all the newcomers!  Everything has been so inspiring thus far.  And thanks to every person who participated this year!  The internet better get ready for what we are bringing.  So while you blog about vegan yummies, just ask yourself this: how much cooler would it be to eat your favorite meal in a bus?  You should definitely check out the review of Rootmaster on Intellectual Blackout.

Now go forth and spread the word about veganism!  And remember to give your eyes a little rest from all the deliciousness.  Happy MoFoing, y’all!
