Welcome to the seventeenth BloodThirsty Vegans newsletter. February 2011 Edition.
The BloodThirsty Vegans (BTVs) is a musical family that makes music (sweet, sweet music)
about 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.
Currently the BloodThirsty Vegans are My Rap Name is Alex,
Janna "MC Vendetta" Willoughby, Dave Harter, Ben Sachs,
Bryan "Brrrn" Lohr & Kaitlyn Marie Gardner
and sometimes Michael Delaney or Liz Bailey.
Contacting BloodThirsty Vegans directly is pretty simple.
We are all regular visitors to our facebook page.
We design and operate our own website at bloodthirstyvegans.com
that has message forums where you can
leave messages for us or other BTV friends and fans. We also have
myspace and twitter.

Back in action with SHOWS!
We may not have been recording them yet, but we sure have been writing and rehearsing a
lot of new songs lately. You can come hear some as we swing back into action with three
great shows this month (see upcoming shows below).
This will include our first out of
town show in a while, though not very far out of town in case any locals want to travel
with us. It's in Rochester, and it's a fund raiser for the Flying Squirrel Community
Space. All three shows are gonna be great.

The Rest of the news
We are going to be updating portions of our website soon. And one upgrade we will be
taking a look at is making better use of facebook. We're hoping that if we place some of
these "recommend" buttons around, that you will help us out by clicking on them.
