Normally we give you a blog from our road crew on their perspective of the tour, but this one is a little different. We Came As Romans is currently on tour with our great friends in Alesana and the guitarist Lou Cotton is doing something awesome because of our great road crew: he is going vegetarian. In order to get his perspective on it, we asked him to blog about it. Here is Lou in his own words:
peta2 Street Team Coordinator + lover of vegan food, cats, animal rights, Dawson's Creek, and Harry Potter.
Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)

I have been a vegetarian since birth.
Recently I bought Oliver Sykes’ (Bring Me The Horizon) “Meat Sucks” shirt.
I think being a vegetarian is the way I was born to be.

Lou should get the Peta College Cookbook: lots of yummy recipes and all really quick and easy to make (which is what you need if you’re on tour right now).

My favorite veg dish is ratatouille. Good stuff, but takes some time to make it right.
Since you are new to this vegitarian thing, make sure you get some info about nutrition from the PETA2 guys. You don’t want to end up having health complications later on down the road.
