FREE Three Twins Ice Cream

So, you may think I’m lame, but (for now) I refuse to get a super-duper cool smartphone. People are always left with huge cartoon question-mark-eyes when I tell them that. I really just want to remain some sane human interaction with people– you know, an actual human relationship, rather than

Flirt with the (Lunatic) SF Fringe!

Does it make me cool if I say I went to high school with a person who writes and produces plays for Indianapolis Fringe? Probably not, but it’s true. Since Facebook has kept me abreast of every development that could conceivably affect Indy Fringe, I’m well aware of Fringe’s theater
