Anji Vlogs Vegan Options At Disneyland’s California Adventure Park 2021
Anji produced a special vlog for Happy Healthy Vegan showcasing many of the vegan food options at Disneyland’s California Adventure Park. Filmed over the course of several visits, the 10 minute video highlights a dozen different spots that feature plant based options including the new PYM Test Kitchen in Avengers Campus, the Magic Key Terrace, Dia de los Muertes specials at the Plaza de la Familia and much more. If you miss “the sexiest voice in podcasting” then you will really appreciate the dulcet tones of Anji’s voiceovers in this vlog. The video also features the classic song “Our Nights” by Lovespirals, Anji’s band with Ryan Lum, who is also the co-host of Happy Healthy Vegan, as well as Anji’s husband.
Anji Bee produced this special Happy Healthy Vegan vlogThis So Cal duo have a long history of visiting Disneyland on Anji’s birthday, but have recently become So Cal local pass holders, so you can look forward to more videos featuring vegan options and fun times on the Happy Healthy Vegan YouTube Channel.

Against The Wall Tee Graphic by Anji Bee
During the discovery phase of compiling the upcoming Positive Influence anthology, I cam across a drawing I did for Against the Wall back in 1988. This thin marker sketch with a bit of stippling and a bit of cross hatching is very indicative of my style at that period. The simple black and white designs xeroxed well thus were perfect to use for zines and flyers. This is the same drawing style I used for the New Age Records logo graphic. If memory serves, this drawing was done as a potential cover for the first Against the Wall single that was going to be released by New Age, the label of Against the Wall member, Mike Hartsfield. The ‘Identify Me‘ single ended up being released by Nemesis Records in 1989 with a completely different cover.
Just prior to the record coming out, I left. When it came out, I saw the cover art and my jaw dropped; it looked terrible. But I was gone and it wasn’t my concern.
Mike Hartsfield (2017 NoEcho.net)
1989 was the year I started moving away from the hardcore punk scene and I fell out of touch with folks like Mike, so I never heard anything more about my artwork. A post of my original drawing — actually a copy of the drawing, because I gave the original to the band — on my new Positive Influence Instagram account provided an update this week. Orhun Oner of LIFE.LOVE.SHIRTS.: A COLLECTION OF HARDCORE CLOTHING fame sent me a photo of the mystery shirt! He also mentioned that he thought it was printed by Hardcore Grafix.

The Vegan Optimist Interviews Anji & Ryan
Anji and her Happy Healthy Vegan partner, Ryan, were recently interviewed by Ryan Tratner for his podcast, The Vegan Optimist.
“The Vegan Optimist is a podcast spreading positivity and optimism about the future of veganism. It is a place of learning focused on positive developments in all things vegan!”
It’s a pretty fun half hour conversation that goes into how we met, how/why we became vegan, and what lead to the creation of our YouTube channel, as well as our thoughts on veganism and vegan activism, how to go vegan, the lie of “humane” meat, plus a lightning round of couple questions. What stupid thing did we recently get into a fight over? Find out!

Mr. Alfa + Anji Bee Cover Fleetwood Mac
Back in 2014 Mr. Alfa hit me up to provide vocals for his electro pop cover of the legendary Fleetwood Mac song, “Landslide.” As a lifetime fan of the band I was a bit hesitant to take on this masterpiece. Hesitantly I recorded a sole vocal line and sent it off. Fast-forward 7 years and suddenly the song appeared on the Venus Recordings SoundCloud account!
