I thought the show was very well-executed, which it has to be to make something so familiar worth your ticket. A couple of things that I really liked about this production: 1) Having the Narrator tastfully dressed (B&B did this in their previous J...

Amen on Datsa Pizza, I really like their calzones. Speaking of Pizza, yesterday we did the lunch buffet at Luca Pizza at 10th and Shadeland. Fairly good pizza, and was surprised to find the little bread sticks were stuffed. Also bonus points for t...

John Belden replied to Andrea Emerson's discussion 'Spunk & Bite' in the group Writers Group
I think I echo others when I say, you should KNOW your Strunk & White (and "Eats Shoots and Leaves") before you advance to Spunk & Bite. Finding ways to make your good writing stand out is not a sin, but no amount of style can make up for lack of...

Oh, look -- I've got another blog

Seems wrong to have this part of my page blank, so here goes.

This online persona is the "me" you meet when I've got the collared shirt and the reporter's notepad, when it's possible I'll be handing you a business card.

There's also the casual friends-and-family me at Facebook, and the more unguarded me at LiveJournal. And the me that is directly hosted by the company (the more focused blog at www.eastofindy.com). Plus me scattered at a couple of other places around the net.

Help

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
