Hey Paipo-

That's fantastic! I don't know pawtrait, the person who posted those fantastic pics, but I'm grateful to them for doing it, and to you for bringing it to my attention.
I was on the outside glass stage all night, so I never got a chance to see King Kukulele & Fisherman do their things on the music stage inside the museum, but I heard it was terrific. Maybe someone will post pictures of that, too.
My wife and I had dinner with King & his sweetie & little girl afterwards, and that was a real treat.
As brilliantly funny, manic and musical he is on stage, he is just as funny, manic and imaginative off the stage.

And Paipo, I see you're from NZ; the guy who rigged up the fire for the big ice head is Lewis Olson, another local glass artist, very talented, who has his own hotshop (Noslo Glass), and just happens to be a Kiwi as well. He's been in Corning for maybe 20 years. He just went back to New Zealand this past fall to visit family.
