I just finished lunch and I’m already thinking about dinner. In my defense, it’s Wednesday, which means fried chicken buckets at Common Craft. 

Thinking about my next meal is one of my favorite pastimes, right up there with thinking about my next show. Yours could be Ghostface on Friday and it could be FREE. Enter to win tickets.
