[Ansteorra-announce] Fwd: [CMV] San Antonio glass

[Hillary Greenslade]

Ameline posted this on a glass makers list, but I thought a number of folks
throughout Ansteorra may be interested as well.  It's a shame it starts in
July, we could all go see it this weekend after King's College.
Enjoy, Hillary
