Who is Matt Long? A potter who makes whiskey vessels in a woodfire kiln.  Check out his site here. And, if you haven't noticed, I work in a pottery shop in Cincinnati. Check out some of his bourbon bottles below:

Welcome to the Beard Contest 2009!

Good day my fine fellows and welcome to Der Bartwuchs (bart-voosh) 2009. Bartwuchs means beard growing and that is what 99% of this contest is all about. What is the other 1% about? The mustache. On December 18th, all participants will shave their beards into mustaches and the public will vote.
