Hey there, #HoosierMast .

My good buddies and I from the #LafayetteIN #magic club are putting on a family-friendly #MagicShow on Sunday October 19. Location is at MatchBOX Coworking Studio in downtown Lafayette.

It is a pay-what-you-want event (even nothing).

I look forward to making a difference in the world! A lot of people hate it, but I'm pleasantly surprised.

I don't do very many free #magic shows during the year, but when I do, it's to benefit the #LafayetteIN #HungerHike.

Yesterday at my gig, I performed magic for a local celebrity, and former colleague at Purdue Athletics. (I was his computer guy about 20 years ago.) He said, "You're a really good magician!"

Just a quick note for #HoosierMast and especially us in #TippecanoeCo !

I'm appearing in a couple of plays next week at the #CivicTheatre annual play festival. It's a series of 10-minute-and-under plays. I have a prominent role in one play, and local Mastodonian @pineboxtx will be in a couple as well. I guess #MastoTheatre is alive in #LafayetteIN!

Next Friday, Saturday, Sunday night!

Fun date night in #LafayetteIN. Started with seeing Buster Keaton's Sherlock Junior with a trippy modern R.E.M. soundtrack. Then over to Digby's pub to see #TheBandSheeza. #Sheeza is a super-talented young multi-instrumentalist and vocalist that is your next favorite.

But also, if you want a truly #Indiana #tenderloin, check out the bun-to-meat ratio on this baby!

I'm an occasional #playwright.
Last night there was a dramatic reading of my latest short play. It's holiday-themed and a shortie - only 3 minutes.

My heart glowed a little. The audience guffawed in all the right spots, even without costumes and props.

I invite you to read it, if you like.
