Where will Neat Market be next? Maybe the most perfect place yet, that’s where. On Sunday October 21st, you will find the DIY vegan bazaar at HoodLAB (3354 Larimer St.) from 11am-3pm. Right next to our allies at NOOCH Vegan Market, the tenth edition of our underground market has the makings of a vegan BLOCK PARTY: DJs, FOOD TRUCKS, an EXPANDED EATING AREA, and a COSTUME CONTEST!

As always, you’ll be able to find some new stuff by Denver’s growing underground cottage food community, enjoy a cup of coffee, have lunch, and stock up on some stuff for the fridge. Get your grocery shopping done at NOOCH after hanging out in HoodLAB’s beautiful space.

In addition to being a great event space and gallery, HoodLAB is the brick-and-mortar store for Hemp Hoodlamb, makers of eco-friendly, cruelty-free hemp clothing. These are the guys that outfit Sea Shepherd with high-performance winter gear for their arctic campaigns. When you buy Sea Shepherd gear, you are supporting the anti-whaling and conservation campaigns of SSCS! Get ready for winter.

Invite your friends on Facebook, so you can start planning your costumes.

Eat at Watercourse on Monday. The vegan food will nourish your body and spare animals from harm. And on this day only, your purchase will help save whales. The restaurant is donating a percentage of the day’s sales to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, who are battling the Japanese whaling fleet in the Southern Ocean right now.

That’s Monday, January 23rd. 837 E 17th Ave (like you didn’t know). Pick up some Sea Shepherd merch while you’re there and help out a little more.

The Starz Film Festival is about to start up again. If there’s one flick you should catch, it’s this one. Eco-Pirate is a documentary about Paul Watson, founder and captain of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Learn about his roots, his motivations, and his passion. This special screening is on Sunday, November 6th at 6:15pm, and you get vegan food at the reception afterward. Don’t miss it.

Hit the jump for the Eco-Pirate trailer. Read the rest of this entry →

Location: Watercourse Foods, 837 E. 17th Ave., Denver

Date: Monday October 24

A portion of the day’s sales will go to Sea Shepherd Conservation Society

Facebook Event

Watercourse’s Nonprofit Monday will again be benefiting Sea Shepherd Conservation Society on July 25th.

Mark your calendar. The whale warriors rely on donor support to fund their missions to thwart illegal poaching around the world. And with Japan recently announcing their intentions to return to the Southern Whale Sanctuary near Antarctica again this year, the Shepherds will need the help.

Here’s the Facebook event, hosted by Sea Shepherd Denver.

Watercourse Foods’ nonprofit Monday is benefitting the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society tomorrow.

That means 10-15% of the restaurant’s sales from January 24th will be donated to Sea Shepherd. If you’ve been hankering for a Dona Lee, Blue Plate, or Grinder, tomorrow is the day to get your fix. We at P&A are huge fans of Sea Shepherd, and if you are too, come out for a great meal to help Neptune’s Navy save some whales. They are doing a great job right now down in the Southern Whale Sanctuary near Antarctica, risking their lives to save every whale possible. The least we can do is support Operation No Compromise by eating the food we love anyway.

My strategy is to go during an off-peak time, like between breakfast and lunch. Hopefully it will be busy, so maybe try to beat the crowds, too? Sea Shepherd Denver has set up a facebook event with more info.
