We hope you’re wearing your old Hanes and not your cutesy hand-stitched, Vegan Etsy–purchased vegan underwear today, because you could have a wet one on your hands.

We know, we’re not accepting any more speakers, but we’ve been in secretive talks, eagerly peeing our own pants (the weird sub-theme of VVC?) about these two ladies.

Think of it this way: If there was an Oscars of Veganism, these two would spend just as much of the show with their dates in the Jack Nicholson seats as they did presenting awards and pulling out the thank-you lists when they most certainly pick up their trophies.

Just who are they?

Maybe you’ve guessed by now—and if you’ve been following our twitter and facebook the past couple days, or peaked at our speaker roster recently, you may have noticed our quiet additions. We’re now ready to shout it from the rooftops of the vegan internets and happy to announce that somehow, someway, through the power of kale, our schedule has gotten that much more spectacular and jam-packed with two more fantastic vegans.

Without further ado, Vida Vegan Con presents its latest additions to our line-up, best-selling vegan cookbook authors:

• Terry Hope Romero of The Post Punk Kitchen, Viva Vegan!, Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar, and Veganomicon

and!

• Colleen Patrick-Goudreau of Compassionate Cooks, The Joy of Vegan Baking, The Vegan Table, and her latest release, Color Me Vegan!
  • New! Upcoming releases: the Vegan’s Daily Companion and The 30-Day Vegan Challenge

Can you believe it?!!

And because we’re equally thrilled to have both of these talented and inspirational ladies involved, we present their randomly rotating photos:

And hey – the Early Bird Registration Rate is available until 3/1, or sell out. Hope to see you there, because this is going to be a positively surreal weekend!
