Monday - Meeting at Midwood Smokehouse

Tonight the Clayworks Communications and Marketing Committee had a brainstorming meeting.  It was a great meeting with lots of energy and creative ideas passed around.  Keep an eye on Clayworks because we are all working on taking it to the next several levels.

We met at the Midwood Smokehouse and sat outside.  The food was very good and there was live entertainment.  I got there early and took some pictures, but once we started I got carried away and didn't find out the singer's name.  He was very good and covered a nice range of material.  I'll be going back.

Oh, and today was International Talk Like A Pirate Day.  Arr, I hope everyone did their part.

He sang very well.

I found a new to do from Meredith when I got home.

Saturday - Meeting, Office Depot, Clayworks

Saturday I attended a meeting for our Clayworks marketing & communications committee and I had to pass the Metrolina Expo Fairgrounds.  I noticed a large concert stage as I passed at 9:00 am and wondered what was going on.  I didn't give it too much thought during our meeting, but when I left I passed it again and couldn't believe my eyes.  There was a quarter mile line of young people waiting to get in the gate.

The biggest surprise came when I got on I-77.  Traffic was at a complete standstill for over SEVEN MILES!  That was apparently some concert featuring about a dozen bands that I never heard of before.  I'm just glad I was heading south.

Next stop was Office Depot for ink and labels.  After I came out of Office Depot I noticed some of the buildings around the parking lot so I took some photos of them.

Finally I got to Clayworks to work on more urns.  I made three more to bring the total to five.  I hope one of these will work.  If not, I will make more.

Long line.

Interesting sign.

Buildings.

Another building.

Since 1931.

Saturday - Lots of stuff

Today I attended an early Clayworks Communications and Marketing Committee meeting, had lunch with Becky at the Vietnam Grille, and made some stuff at Clayworks before heading back home to make supper and relax a bit.  We were going to fire the raku kiln, but it was too wet and windy so we bagged it for today and rescheduled it for Monday.
