There is so much going on in #Indianapolis this week--film screenings, concerts, film festivals, plays, DJ dance parties, karaoke, open mics, drag science fairs... And I'm sure I'm missing a bunch of stuff.
Yesterday I had ice cream for breakfast, a doughnut (jelly so it counts as fruit) with a handful of nuts and ice cream for lunch then another doughnut on the way home. Surprisingly I was functional and productive all day on this diet. Maybe I should do this every day?
The Indy #FilmFest starts this week!
There are too many cool things happening in

Friends came to visit me at @muncie_comic_con !
I had a great day, possibly because I was table 42, so had the answer to life the universe and everything.
My next event is #Muncie #comicon this Saturday! This is my first time selling at this convention, and I've heard amazing things about it from other creators. If you are in the area, stop by and say hi! munciecomiccon.com
A scene in Rebel in the Rhye, a #JDSallinger #biopic, features an interesting #writingexercise. When stuck, he wrote a page/day + ripped it up, giving permission to write without consequence. One day he reread what he had written and kept it. Rutt over!
Time to rip some pages!

After the convention today, I tried #ukrainianfood for the first time at Olesya's Kitchen in Columbus, #Indiana! #indianarestaurant #restaurants #food
I had a fantastic time talking to vendors and attendees at Columbus Indiana Comic Con today! I loved hearing about their creative pursuits. We had a slow start, but I ended up selling way more than I had expected.
I was also able to splurge on some cool stuff from other vendors :)
My first event of 2026 is this Saturday at #FREE #Columbus #Indiana #Comiccon! Did I mention it's a #freeevent?!?
with #vendors #artists, #comicbooks #cosplay #costumes #foodtrucks and #community

A few of my friends and acquaintances over the years have talked about starting food-related businesses. The library's free small business workshop series in April is focussed on starting food businesses.

This week's WFYI #Indiana Week in Review #poll: Should the state be partnering with a White #christiannationalist org?
I'm obviously against even a verbal endorsement of a #racist #theocracy organization being involved with our kids + schools.

Thank you! It is a really fun convention!
The 2026 InConJunction #author Guest of Honor will be... (drum roll)... ME Matthew Barron!

Riding the simulated #interurban in actual seats from an old #train car at the #Indiana #Historical Society! @indianahistory The electric interurban used to take people and goods to and from #Indianapolis from the surrounding towns.
The seats vibrated + video moved across the windows. Really cool!
Look!! @matthewbarron.bsky.social is going to be at InCon!

From FB #memories today: If I'm not mistaken, this was from my very first ever #author #booksigning and #reading at Center for Inquiry | Indiana (CFI) in 2009
I was so nervous that night! A glass of wine helped me relax a bit before people arrived.
I finally got my #chinlanguage copies of The Lonely #Princess #childrensbook !
I updated links on my website to sell all versions of the #books for only $19.99, a $9 #discount off the cover price!

Love that one!
I'm excited about the speaker line up at this Saturday's @centerforinquiry #Indiana Civic Day!

Scary world. The #President’s hit squad raids a state election office + barely makes a blip. This direct #fascist #authoritarian attack on #democracy + #elections would have broken the world 2 years ago-- Now a normal, everyday occurrence.

There is a new of the #MuppetShow tonight 9 pm on @ABC! We could all use a little levity right now.
I was surprised when my DVR picked up a new, 3rd season of #Primal! Primal = this #artsy, violent, beautiful #animated #cartoon #TV show. Anachronistic creatures coexist and all emotion + thought is communicated through body language. It airs on #cartoonnetwork and #hbomax

If you're looking for an excuse to treat yourself, you might consider buying yourself something nice at an #immigrant -owned business.
They have bills to pay, and some of their regular customers are justifiably afraid of being racially profiled.
They've added new topics #immigration and #sciencefunding to Center For Inquiry's #Indiana Civic Day for Feb 14, 2026.
Register here. Ordering lunch is optional.

Someone asked me if I'm excited about the big IU game.
I said, "Is that basketball?"
Apparently it is not basketball but it is tonight and is supposedly a big deal for some folks😆
I hope those that do enjoy that sort of thing stay warm and have a good time! 😀
