Divakar is something of a local music legend here and you can hear why on his shows, "The New Music & Indie Label Show" 7:00 - 8:30 and "90 Minutes" 8:30 - 10:00 on 106.5 fm on Sunday evenings. If there was any doubt about his local music status, check out what Creative Loafing has to say about him. He also runs Shukla Entertainment and Saathee Magazine, and hosts Nazar Television in his spare time.
Later in the evening it was off to Clayworks for a raku firing. While there we celebrated Elaine's birthday with a cake that Stephanie baked. Thanks Stephanie, it was great!
The raku firing went well and results were good. I had a porcelain piece that I left on the wheel for a bit and while I was gone Ju-Ian placed a small frog on the top of it. I left the frog on it and fired it with clear crackle on the whole pot and turquoise luster on the frog. I was very pleased with the result and need to get a picture of the finished pot. Stay tuned for that.

Party!
