Do you donate Blood? I understand that 0- is in great shortage. (http://www.indianablood.org)
Indiana is getting big time publicity due to the election, now we can get our normal publicity from the 500. The pace car is cool.
It was great to stand in line to vote this morning. I've never really had to stand in line to vote before in Indiana.
What would you do if the cost of food keeps going up? What would you do if gas went $5.00 and wages will not? (http://www.frogmajikmusic.com) ...
I'm ready for a break. I've met them both.I was impressed by both. Who to vote for? Who to vote for?....
I visited my folks in Brown County and found some shrooms. These three were double dipped in egg and seasoned flour and fried in butter. ...
While going home last weekend I lucked into something you won't see at most urban schools.Indian Creek in Trafalgar (raglfart),the 8th grade History Teacher Tom ...
Looks live we're gonna get some bucks back in a rebate form. I, for one will need part for bills. Some, I intend to donate ...
Welcome to Indy.com Don! Great to have you here. Hey.. that picture looks familiar :) See ya' outside.
I definitely got to come hear you play. So what is this $20 boos and food deal i hear about?!?!
Don! Good to see you here. Rumor has it you put on a helluva show. Can't be at your Oct. 19 show but I'll try to make the next one. Just keep me posted.
We need more folk singers to keep us safe here at the Star.
A fellow man of the Law.....Good to know.
I thought you WROTE the book on the human condition. My my, hey hey. Long live Johnny Rotten -- and Neil Young.
Hey man I dug the recipe. You should post more of those.
Take pictures of them and send em my way and I'll add them to your posts.
Hi Frogmajik - You had asked about day of the dead. Without going into too much detail (that you may find boring), it's a holiday - actually celebrated over 2 days, Nov. 1 and 2. The days are called "dia de los inocentes" - Nov. 1 - for the children who have passed away, and "dia de los difuntos" or "dia de los muertos" - for the adults, on Nov. 2. Families celebrate by cleaning and decorating tombstones, baking special breads and other sweets, and spending quality time together. I'd be happy to tell you more if you'd like. Oh, and there are some celebrations held here locally too!
Yes..... I do visit all of those bars and restaurants
I asked myself "Why don't I attempt to create a dialog with all of the other people who have "art" as one of their tags?" Though not knowing where the move might take me, I felt that the tag alone was reason enough to become a fan of yours. Essex
Did you mean you hope TO read my work? If so, thank you. I'll be posting excerpts in shortly.
i thought my gigs were posted on here already... how do i do it?
Ironic, my first Fan on indy.com has my grade school nickname...Frog!

Dude...thanks for being the first to add me, and for giving me the honor of being your 410th friend ...that's unbelievable =)
Lorenzano's is at 7153 Southeastern Avenue. Indianapolis, IN 46239. Their phone number is 353-6105. The Lasagna is Awesome, and It's made by two older italian ladies. I SWEAR! Awesome let me know what you think!
Not a prob Buddy. Everything else working okay for ya?
By the way, I see we're tied now! Congrats. You've been a worthy adversary. :)
so would you be willing to give FREE language lessons?
Thanks for the add! :-)
sa-weet! eyell give you my number after the holidays to set up arangements if you're still interested then...
Thanks for finding me. I'm a acoustic musician too...guitar, hammer and mountain dulcimers, tin whistle. Do you have a schedule online of where you'll be performing?
The Tip Top you say. Do you happen to know Otto? ;)
muchas gracias por el complido. yo tambien soy guitarista y espero que puedo escuchar a tu musica un dia pronto. perdone me mi espanol porque todovia no la se esta lengua muy bien, pero estoy tratando.
Hey there frogmajik! Just thought I should let you know we're playing at Birdy's this Sunday if you're interested in hearing us! You had written in our guestbook mentioning you'd like to. There's more info in our most recent post! :D
And they say military people are knuckle-dragging idiots. Keep me in mind for music video stuff - for you or friends. I do all kinds of projects.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll check him out.
Hey. Maybe you should get into promotions or talent managing as a second career. Seems like you really know your stuff. Thanks again for the info
well, what's affordable to you and what side of town?
Yep, that's how you make kombucha. It's pretty good, and good for you, I've heard.
Let me know if you want a "mushroom" mother.
Thanks man. I'll be back from time to time and I'll definitely stop by when I do.
I decided to go to Iraq for you. :-) Iraq right here in Indy, that is. Keep in touch.
You're going to need to get those Karma Points up there. I don't like it when you aren't at the top of the list..
old family photos rock!
Thanks for the welcome
Hey, sorry man. I was just reading your bio again and saw that you listed Italian language as an interest. I must have been asleep at the wheel earlier when I wrote to you in spanish. I do realize they are not the same but I do not speak italian. But, if I ever do learn italian ...
Happy New Year to all of you "art interest" people I'm a fan of. Perhaps our paths will cross at an art event in 2008. Perhaps in '08 there will be a loosely organized gathering of the indy.com arts community at an event or gallery walk. If so, or not, have a good one either way. Cheers!
Happy new tear!
Thanks for adding me as a friend frog. Nice to have some roots in the hills of BC.
I love your photo - is there a story about it you would want to share?
Great! Bring along an acoustic and join us for a few tunes! :)
Hey there Frogmajik...I just wanted to say thanks for the kind words in my guestbook - but which comment were you responding to? About drug testing for politicians? Or comfort food? I bet you chose the spelling of your name because you've heard Wayne Dyer talk about "majik", which is not the same thing as magic. Or do you have another reason for choosing that particular spelling? Look forward to hearing you play!
I'm glad you liked the piece...good to know that SOMEONE is awake!
Can you tell me about the karma points? What good are they? What do they mean, besides that a person has been active?
Assuming it's just an envelope, go ahead and pitch it. It's something I forgot to pick up that's worthless now anyway!
Hey frogmajik, I didn't find it but I did see in the paper where prizes were being awarded for high scorers. Have you ever won anything? I would think as social as you are that you just rack up the points! Thanks for getting back to me about that.
Thanks for "fanning" me! I love the "Will Write for Food" shirt. Maybe we'll see you play in Nashville sometime. My husband and I love to stay in the cabins down there and visit the park, shops, etc. I wish we could move down there. Take care and good luck with your music!
Who said I didn't like Bob Dylan?
If you want to perform at the Artsgarden and you are an Indy artist, send a demo of your music to :
Arts Council of Indianapolis c/o Artsgarden Director 20 N. Meridian St. Ste 500 Indianapolis, IN 46204
It's your job to call us the ONE day we sign up groups for 4-months at a time. The next date is April 7th, 2008!!!! Call ASAP that day to try and get a slot - we seriously fill up 4 months worth of shows in about 5 hours. It's 1st come, 1st serve.
Good luck!!!!
You've got mail!
dude anime rules
I'm not so popular anymore!
Actually, I had myself denoted as 'staff' 'cause I'd been pushing that off for too long but when that happens you get pulled off the most pop. list. Sucks.
I miss the ass kicking I took every day by not being able to catch you to save my life! Just kidding. It is a helluva rivalry but you did start to run away with it, no doubt.
cool new pics!
people apparently love frogs with magical qualities! frogmajik man is so popular, methinks he used his tax rebate check to "buy" fans
im not even sure they've done the karma thing yet, there was late night sabatoge yesterday, somebody created a rogue profile and flagged a bunch of people's posts and pics, so ye olde staff at indy.com probably has to re-sort things out. since Braden is now on the side of "the man" i will do my best to have a "friendly" competition with you on the fans count, but i'm thinkin its gonna b no contest
Is this the one and only Tom from myspace?
Wouldn't you rather when a plasma tv or blu-ray player instead? I know I would. Apple sucks.
Thanks for asking about my Trafalgar Branch. It is open for your browsing pleasure at 424 Tower Street. See also: www.jcplin.org. Maybe someday you'll book a gig in the community room.
its on southport road and st road 37, its a pretty neat 2 story bar. im pretty tight with the management there so if you'd like to perform let me know
I remeber the Fancy Lizards-saw them evertime they played at Ball State. Does the band still exist??
awesome new pic! i haven't been back to gallaghers yet but the next time i'm there i will direct them to here
Thanks for becoming a fan.
I received a note that explained that you liked my profile and added me to one of your people. First, let me say thank you very much. However, After checking out your profile I could not find it. any reasons why? Just checking .......heatherlk
Thanks for the add!
I'm quite pleased about this Spring-like weather, and happy that music can now make its way to outdoors' venues. How are you?
