I'm not going to VeggieFest because I love my veggies so much I refuse to leave them. plus I am the worst disciple of the Master. I love my vegetables so much I dream of reincarnating as an arugula plant. Last time I went to Veggiefest all I got was this hat. I have preconceptions about going to Veggiefest like I think the weather will be bad but I end up being taught a lessen that everything I think is wrong and the weather turns out perfect. The only thing I trust more than vegetables is fermented vegetables. I can't go there because when I go all I want to do is eat and dance reggae. When I do seva, I end up missing my flight which costs me a lot of money, then I return to the center and am told by the Guru that it was a good thing.
