it’s true—that was me you read about on laist.com the other day, when i broke the news of the accident at pure luck.
sorry i have been a too busy to answer your countless emails recently—i’ve been overwhelmed fielding all the offers like book deals, celebrity appearances and free food. not sure what my next move will be, now that i’ve “made it”. if you want to re-live all the excitement of my major media mention, you can catch my laist feature here. and i will post the article below as well….for your sake.
JULY 22, 2008
Around 1:30 a.m. on Saturday morning as staff at Pure Luck were closing the Bicycle District/HelMel vegan restaurant down, a truck rammed through a window. Local vegan blogger, quarrygirl, visited for a meal later on Saturday only to find the restaurant closed. “Why does this shit have to strike at the best vegan restaurant in town. boooooo,” she blogged. According to one server, as luck would have it, no one was hurt and the restaurant is still open for business during regular hours as they work to fix the window and damage.
thanks laist, for the recognition. i know i deserve it, but it still feels great. and for all you trying to reach me to congratulate me, don’t give up! ![]()

WOW! Congratz! When you make it onto LosAnjealous, then you will be legit. Ha. Keep rocking the veganocity. And that SUCKS at Pure Luck. At least they re-opened.

I figured the best way to respond to your comment was to leave another one back at you
My pastries are the Vegan Twinkies, Red Velvet Cupcakes and Vanilla Birthday Cake Cupcakes. I just dropped of a fresh batch tonight, so they should be well stocked for a day or two.
You should check it out regardless it’s great.
They sell the Tofutti Pizzas at Rainbow Acres, btw. So good.
Let’s get vegan crazy some time. I think we eat at all the same restaurants.

Saw your mention on Eater and was like, “Hey! That’s my blogroll’s vegan expert!” Now you’ve been exploited.

Wow, that’s cool! I mean, it sucks but still, that’s cool!
