Welcome to the fourth

The BloodThirsty Vegans (BTVs) is a musical family that makes music (sweet, sweet music)

peace, love and understanding to unite the human family, foster respect for
the interconnected web of life, and remind the tribes how liberating it was to
dance the dances of
freedom.

On September 6th, the mighty BTV family journeyed over the mighty Niagara River to play
June & Roger’s 29th Annual Labor Sunday Picnic-Potluck. There was great feasting, sport
and merriment, and magical music, and when all was said and done we had managed to raise
$200 for the Peace Education Fund.
Then on September 12th, in the twilight hours, we took to the stage of the Music is
Art Festival behind the Albright-Knox Art Gallery to broadcast our message of Peace and
Liberty across the waters of Hoyt Lake.
Try as we might we were unable to overcome our car troubles and logistics troubles
and actually play a show in Pittsburgh. We are sending telepathic care to the people
who were there in Pittsburgh to give voice to the voiceless. We will certainly keep trying
to get down there to play a show where the rivers meet.
Then on September 26th we were back in action playing a fund raiser for a
school in South Africa which was lots of fun. While we were not directly adjacent
to any large body of water, we did get rained on. Thankfully we had a roof over
our heads for the show and amazingly delicious soup to keep us warm. And then our
friends from Euphraxia danced as the daylight faded. Good times.
