Careful, though. DOwnloading and importing into Remind isn't really a sync, and if you go both ways, you could end up with an infinite number of events.
I do phone->Local ICS manually - the phone syncs to my google calendar, and then I sit down every few days and grab the events out of my google calendar, import them into my local calendar, and delete them from google. Since I only create a few a month on my phone, this isn't onerous.
