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.

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!

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

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!

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!

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.

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
