Zero temperature dynamics of two dimensional triangulations of a torus with curvature energy is described. Numerical simulations strongly suggest that the model get frozen in metastable states, made of topological defects on flat surfaces, that group into clusters of same topological charge. It is conjectured that freezing is related to high temperature structure of baby universes.
