TC ROSTER TALK

Super cool! I've been a big fan of glass blowing since visiting the Corning museum a few years back. I was so inspired by glass that I started writing a fantasy series about a magical glassmaker. It's really mesmerizing to see a master at work with such a hot and malleable substance. Neat to see Judon branching out and trying new things! I hope he plays out his career here.

Maybe working on expanding his lung capacity to improve stamina for second half of year?

We visited the Murano Glass factory & museum (by water taxi, naturally) while we were in Venice a year ago March... Along some of its walls were photographs of the rich & famous who had purchased their work over the years... Impressive; and a fascinating process with beautiful results.

There is something erotic about the glass blowing process.

It’s even more mesmerizing doing it. it was tremendous fun working glass into my Burning Man gifts using shards of neon tubing scavenged from the previous years ashes. Studio I worked in was mostly making really high end sculptural pipes. Absolutely amazing!

Damn, I must be doing it wrong somehow

Why was the glass-blower forced to retire?​

He sucked...

I get that people said that but the guy is 6'8 and like 350 minimum. I hesitate to take the word of some reporter watching from the sidelines trying to explain why he hasn't played as well the last few years compared to his first few here. Without a scale and regular knowledge of his weight year to year I'm not sure anyone can tell 350+ from 370+ with any certainty.

When you weigh 350lbs, you can fluctuate 10 to 15 pounds per day easily. Same thing really applies to any given person who isn’t sweating for 6-8 hrs a day and pushing the limits of their frame. I’m a lean 185/190 lbs and some mornings I wake up 193lbs. Piss, take a **** and I’m back down to 185-187, eat breakfast and drink a bunch of water and I’m back up to 193 by mid-day/evening. Hydration levels really play into this which sometime work on a multi day cycle. Weight numbers are somewhat of a fools game trying to nit pick them, all these dudes move weight from day to day just like many humans do.

Whoa, that's awesome! I didn't know you did that. I might message you sometime asking for some feedback or clarification on techniques. I love how many different kinds of backgrounds are represented on this board.

Anyway, I'll not derail the thread any further. Speaking of the roster--what are people's thoughts on safety? Seems thin.

It gave him a pane in his chest
