Twisty Cup Pro-Am This Weekend


M-Space is hosting their 5th annual Twisty Cup Pro-Am this Saturday at noon. From an email just in:

This year we have Sonja Bloomdahl and Dick Weiss judging,

MC Greg Owen on the mic, and DJ Broam, aka Oliver Doriss, spinning records.

Ben Cobb will be definding his title on the Pro bench while Samantha and the rest of the Hilltop gang try to continue their domination of the Amateur bench.

More on the FeedTacoma calendar

Twisty cup away, you crazy glassblowers, you.

What a fun event!!
Samantha and Trenton from Hilltop both competed in the ameteur event. I had to leave before the event was decided, but my money's on Sam. Way to go girl!!!

Also featured on the Pro side of the bench was a blind-folded Oliver Doriss (scary watching people blow glass blindfolded!!!) and Alex (?) in his underpants.

Ahhh....beer in twisty cups, hot dogs and REALLY cool t-shirts! What fun!!

Thanks M-Space folks!!!

Although I have another home on the web I thought it might be nice to lead by example a bit and put this blog system up to the test myself.

So far, so good... Funny how I build web tools for other people that are far better than the one's I have setup over on KFnet.
