Well kiosk number one has a home for a few months at the very cool Lamplighter Roasting Company!
Here is how it went down.
I met with Lamplighter owner Noelle Archibald Wednesday, and despite my barely coherent presentation, she immediately began looking around the shop (which is a beautifully remodeled gas station) for a place to put the kiosk. After some measuring she found a cozy little spot next to the front door, and on Thursday evening I installed Kiosk #1.

So this is good this is nice, a Self Serve Pottery Kiosk up and running at a cool hip (way cooler and hipper than I deserve by the by) coffee shop. But that is not the coolest OR hippest part of this episode, the coolest hippest part is that Noelle asked that Art 180 receive their (Lamplighter) share of the Kiosk's sales. Therefore, Kiosk #1 will be donating 20% of its sales to Art 180, thanks Noelle!
Now that we are all feeling warm and fuzzy, all you have to do is get down to the Lamplighter and get yourself some really great coffee, or what I had yesterday, my new favorite drink, the "Liberian Ginger Ale". I have to admidt, I thought the menu said "librarian" instead of "Liberian" and so when I tasted the real ginger of this homemade ginger ale, all I could think of was naughty librarians. Really real ginger, you have to try it.And of course you have to check out the Self Serve Pottery Kiosk, get yourself some pots while supporting a good cause. I will leave you with some images of the kiosk, and sights of the Lamplighter, which is at 116 South Addison St. Richmond VA.
Stay tuned- more kiosk episodes to come soon.

Great idea. I wish we had such a thing in San Francisco.
