Brew Ha Ha
“Your dancing feels cooler than it looks when you’re in a giant pint glass costume,” said my Asheville potter son Josh who was looking at pictures of himself break-dancing at the Asheville Idiotarod, a 5K race for awesomeness done while pushing a tricked-out shopping cart.
Josh is a whiz with foam rubber. He’s a Wedge brewery bartender who played the snake in the Garden of Eden in a high school play, did break-dancing to Michael Jackson when he was five years old, and founded CLAYSPACE Studio (next door to the brewery).
That’s the Wedge micro brewery crew dressed as Amber, IPA, Whit Beer (notice the orange wedge), Porter and Pale Ale. Porter Potter Josh is in town setting up 16 Hands Artist Tour show at my house before heading to Tasmania for a Wood-firing conference for a month.
Note: Thanks to a friend of Josh’s who took the above pictures. Watch a video of Idiotarod HERE. Josh’s webpage is HERE.

I forgot to ask him who won and did they get a prize. Maybe he’ll visit and answer that.
