Gang_ This post is not about the cost of doing a line of cocaine.
If marta gets a teapot into The AKAR show after 2 months of throwing I will
tell George Bush to stop flying low over Joyce's house in the Mojave looking
for weapons of mass destruction. He ought to be concentrating on
Rochester,Minnesota.
Besides no one said a functional teapot had to be thrown, just functional. I
can't wait to see Rons choices as the teapot I got from him this summer
looks like he put the holes for the spout in with a sawed off shotgun.
Now this show costs $50 to enter. Get in and you have to send the pot- more
money. Some will say this is nonsense. My friend and Clayart lurker Richard
Selfridge says every line in your resume costs about $150. I think it is
money well spent. Entering these shows is a adult form of self evaluation.
This is not the guild show. This is a national show juried by a nationally
recognized guy that loves pots, knows pots and can recognize poop from
putty. If this is a line in your resume that costs you $150 bucks i"ll raise
you and see you.
Sheila and I will probably make 20 -30 t-pots each to try and get a good
one.
hope to see y'all in the cornfields of Iowa.
Cheers,
Tony
