TOSCANINI'S ICE CREAM, SOMEDAY CAFE and BUFF 2005

Sitting behind me at PIGS AND BATTLESHIPS at the MFA was none other than Gus Rancantore, the somewhat scruffy and unkepmpt owner of the must awarded Toscani's Ice Cream and the Someday Cafe in David Square. A wonderfully unpretentious variation n the Renaissance Man, Gus, who previously produced ad promoted the martial arts series in my days at the Coolidge, is helping out BUFF 2005, which, if we get the funding, wil be held entirely in David Suare. Already we have Don Herzfeld, Bill Plympton, disciples of Gaspar Noe and a special screening of the legendary THUNDERCRACK. And Gus is great with programming ideas, leads and help with getting advertisers and sponsorship. It's great to be working with him again.
