Finding other veg*ns at work is a tiny thrill because I might actually be able to eat with them, for me. Finding other vegans in, say, class, has the potential to be interesting but also has the potential to be annoying. I guess having a shared interest is always kinda neat, since I'd rather talk about nutritional yeast than the weather. :)
