Random Veganness in Portland

The past couple of days I was in Portland on college trips. Portland is awesome.
My sister and mom bought me an AMAZING vegan maple donut from Voodoo Donuts. They said the line was out the door.
Also, when I was at Powell's, I stumbled upon their vegan and vegetarian cookbook section, which was extensive and very tempting. I'm definitely going to be making a trip to the library soon.

Other randomness:
Macbeth is another option for vegan shoes. Davey Havok of AFI is designing a line for them, and Hunter Burgan, also of AFI has done promo for them before, and they have lots of other awesome stuff. I think that Tom Delonge (blink-182, Angels & Airwaves) and some other artists have also designed shoes for Macbeth.
This is the skit that Hunter Burgan did: http://www.youtube.com/user/TranquilMammoth?blend=2&ob=1#p/a/F97CA0F245DB4B43/0/CMmkpfS-Nxg .

Macbeth Shoes can be found at their official website, http://modlife.com/macbeth/products . They also sell at various places online and stores in our area (mostly in San Francisco).

I hope everyone is having a great break!
