Perfect weather, great people, amazing times and terps on terps! The Mothership Meltdown team did it again this year and knocked the highlight-of-the-summer event out of the park.
The lucky and limited people with VIP tickets were invited into the ship Friday to enjoy a more intimate sesh, hash judging, amazing catering by our favorite local butcher Silvana Meats, tie-dye classes with Trapis Designs and an opportunity to get on the torch with a Mothership artist and make a pendant or a leaf sculpture to go on the family tree branch that was created with everyone’s contributions. Each year, the team works with attendees to create another branch, which will eventually culminate in a giant boro family tree.
Of course, for another year, Heady Happenings brought the epic hash competition, which consisted of over 30 entries of arguably the best hash on the planet at the moment. The amazing Heady Happenings team also helps oversee and make a lot of the logistics go smoothly at this and all their events.
Saturday was the main event. Winners from the hash competition were announced, and the building was packed shoulder to shoulder with heads and some of the most amazing glass you’ve ever seen. Vendors from all facets of the industry were there, including Jones Soda, Weed Maps, Trapis Designs and more. The catering included some serious melt-in-your-mouth brisket, mac and cheese and other delicacies. The sun was shining on us all day, with a calm breeze and a temperature of 72 degrees Fahrenheit; the weather was perfect.
A couple of world-renowned glass artists made appearances: Buck, Darby, Coldberger, J-Red, Sibelle, Calmbo, Murdoc, Trevs Glass and more could be found chilling in the crowd. And chilling it was, as this event always offers a unique perspective on the glass art world by providing an exciting, action-packed day while still keeping the vibe at a family picnic frequency. Huge thanks to the whole team at Mothership and Heady Happenings for bringing us all together again!
