Allston | Thom Martin

DOES THIS MEAN YOU'VE TAKEN OVER FOR MR. BUTCH? IS IT POSSIBLE TO USE FOURSQUARE FROM THE AFTERLIFE? TECHNOLOGY IS CRAZY THESE DAYS . . .

If Mr. Butch could speak from beyond, I'd prefer he use Twitter, rather than see where he's checking in for lunch. Foursquare isn't really conversational. If Mr. Butch had an iPhone, we'd see some interesting Facebook posts.
