We may be a diverse group, but one thing that we all have in common is that our ethics and eating choices can make it challenging to coexist in a culture of BBQ and rodeo-loving cognitive dissonance. While we are, no doubt, great ambassadors for the animals and for disease-preventing plant-based eating, it’s empowering to hang with others who think like us and who eat like us!
Houston offers a wonderful array of opportunities to get together including the events, potlucks and restaurant outings organized by: the Vegan Society of Peace (VSOP), Vegan for Life (VFL), the Houston Vegan Meetup Group, Vingles – Vegetarian and Vegan Animal Loving Singles, as well as the Woodlands, Katy West and Galveston veg Meetups and Facebook Groups like Houston Vegan Brunch Crew and Houston Vegans*. But thus far we have not had a regular drinks event, thus Vegan Drinks Houston (inspired by Vegan Drinks NYC at www.vegandrinks.org) was borne.
Vegan Drinks Houston is a time to get together to chillax and network with fellow vegans. Together we are a powerful force! The first Vegan Drinks Houston was on Friday, March 11th, 2016. * For all events, organic green juice and/or other vegan non-alcoholic options will be available for those who do not drink alcohol.

The Ghost Wolves (Austin, TX)
http://theghostwolves.com/
Austin, TX based duo The Ghost Wolves met in 2011 backstage at a local music festival and have been an inseparable force ever since. To Carley & Jonny rock n' roll is an intangible spirit -- an expression of absolute creative freedom, not a binding genre. Their stage show is wild, energetic and infectious. Bombastic guitar riffs, wild lyrical tales, explosive sing-alongs, scratchy acoustic cuts and slow-burning muddy grooves are delivered with glee. The songs stick in your head like a recurring dream. The Ghost Wolves simply deliver. Their second full length album, “TEXA$ PLATINUM” will be released in March of 2017 by German rock & roll label Hound Gawd! Records.
