Vegetarian Star

“I’m not entirely sure who understands and who doesn’t understand what it is that we’re doing, but something I wanted to do with those pro-vegan shirts, was to create a very poppy, very palatable image that draws people in and that will appeal to people and then have it juxtaposed with a very serious message – to really drive that message home. Because if you’re drawn in with something pretty and then you’re met with something serious you’re already there. I think it would be difficult to not understand the message of those shirts but a lot of people are really obtuse, so there’s no saying.”

–AFI’s Davey Havok, on his line of t-shirts at Zu Boutique ,which convey information about veganism and eating animals through animated pictures, such as a hamburger with arms and legs with the caption “It’s alive,” above it.

Traveling to a foreign country is exciting, but challenging.

In between recovering from jet lag and studying the “How To Learn X Language” book in the car, there’s barely enough time to find good food.

AFI‘s Davey Havok says he had a problem eating vegan in London, but not due to lack of food establishments.

“I figured there would be lots of vegetarian restaurants out there, and there are Indian restaurants and there are a few vegetarian restaurants,” Havok told Vancouver’s Straight. “It’s just that they’re not good. It’s still British.”

Ouch!

Don’t offend any vegan British fans there, Dave.

They probably already know where to get good meatless grub like falafel at Hummus Bros or the seitan stroganoff at the 222 Veggie/Vegan.

And Alkaline Trio‘s drummer Derek Grant even wrote a song as a tribute to Danielle and her goodies…ahem..her vegan dessert goodies, that is.

“Vegan dessert was something that was really lacking,” says Danielle of her decision to start her business.

Watch Danielle demonstrate how to make Chocolate Peppermint Dreams.

“I really think for the good of this world that, if I could have it my way, the whole world would be vegan and straightedge. So that’s why I feel it’s important to create an awareness of this lifestyle, create an awareness of the choices people make. To bring awareness about those lifestyles can bring a positive change, if only on the level of an individual.”

AFI got together to give their fans an episode of “The Five” at mtv.com.

“The Five” is pretty much self-explanatory, five things you may or may not have known about AFI.

Half the band is vegan and the other half is vegetarian, for example.

“Some people know that about us, some people don’t,” said Jade Puget, guitarist who’s vegetarian. “But we do try to live a mostly cruelty free lifestyle. And that is the most important part of our band and our personal life.”

Once bassist Hunter Burgan also challenged Paul McCartney to an air bass competition. No winner was declared, so we suspect there should be rematch any day now.

Watch the clip above to learn about the guys’ 7 inchers and pick up a copy of their latest album, Crash Love.

But make sure you wash your hands before making it for him if you’ve sneezed recently.

Hunter Burgan,bassist for AFI known for his sarcastic, witty, and downright ridiculous comments on his blog or during interviews, shared with buzznet.com what he’d love to put on his sandwich.

Buzznet: If we gave you sourdough bread and you could put anything on your sandwich what would it be?

Hunter: It would be very thoughtful of you. Thanks! (I might melt some vegan cheese on it, or maybe marinara sauce if you didn’t give me vegan cheese.)

But Hunter’s quite a germaphobe, so never do something like cough and touch his sandwich. Or stab him.

“I hate it when people sneeze into their hands and then place them inside my mouth. I also hate being stabbed to death…that’s a pet peeve of mine.”

And to all ladies without eyes, sorry, you’ll have to find another man.

“The first thing I look for is eyes. If a girl doesn’t have eyes, it’s a no-go. (my apologies to all the girls reading this without eyes).”
