A playbill for "Tales from the Script" that looks like an old pulp comic cover. It says "Greater Lafayette Playwrights present: Tales from the Script". An evening of Spooky staged readings from local playwrights. At Matchbox Coworking Studio - 17 South 6th Street Lafayette. 7 PM October 14th and 15th."
It also features an illustration of a 1950's stylized woman screaming.

I stayed with friends in Central Jersey and you could EASILY get to every mid-size New Jersey city, NYC, and Philly on a train that was almost as fast as driving or faster in many cases. I don't understand why Indianapolis isn't at least connected to Lafayette and Bloomington and Muncie.. ANYMORE

[Indianapolis HVAC recommendations?] My air conditioner survived multiple heat waves this summer, but failed between two, less than 48 hours after a maintenance tuneup. Had a similar experience with the furnace. Who has an HVAC company in #Indianapolis that they like?

Assessing the damage after the #comicbook convention. Some great additions to my quest to collect some “title getting broken on the cover” collection. Some #DrDoom, some spot-fillers on my Miller #Daredevil run, some random Number 1s, and a nearly complete run of Uncanny #Inhumans (missing # 0).
