There are two signs to the left of the sculpture of the pitcher plant. The first and larger sign reads:

From the Hands of the Makers Over the course of fifty years, Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka, father and son, continually experimented with materials and methods that pushed the boundaries of glassworking. After his father's death in 1895, Rudolf continued to refine glass formulations, experiment with pigments and varnishes, and create his own palette of colored glass enamels. He produced this Great Pitcher Plant, Nepenthes maxima (right), the largest and most complicated model in the collection, using many of his innovative techniques.

The smaller plaque identifies the artwork and reads:

Nepenthes maxima (Great Pitcher Plant) Indonesia, New Guinea & Philippines by Rudolf Blauschka, 1906

Have you ever been to a place mentioned in a book?

Vague question, but I wanna know! Last November, my partner and I took an impromptu vacation to Boston. I had the idea to look up how far Cambridge was from Boston, and it turns out we could take the train right to Harvard. I made sure to pack Call Down the Hawk by Maggie Stiefvater for some photos.

We didn't explore too much, and I'd love to go back, but as soon as we walked onto Harvard Yard, my partner made the joke that we were accumulating student debt just by being there. 😂 But, pictured here is Thayer Hall, the dorm Adam lives in while attending university. Campus was gorgeous with all the fall colors.

My first real gig in August 1990 at The Middle East in Cambridge, MA., the one and only performance by Sasqautch. At this point, The Middle East was one room on the ground floor in the back of the restaurant. Promoter and local Boston legend Billy Ruane put us on an excellent bill!
