man, the barn show was a real real good time. thanks to everyone for filling the barn with the warmest parts of being human. Blown away.
Applause is due:
to The Center for Land Based Learning/Craig
MacNamara for being such incredible, supportive, hardworking hosts. for enjoying sharing their wonderful project, and for committing themselves to such positive work. Unreal...
to Sunday Food and Wine/The Secret
Café and all the other cooks for preparing such a fully considered, completely delicious, and totally inspiring dinner. Expect many excellent things to come from this crew of friends...
to the small army of friends who sweat over the fire pit, squeezed the heck out of lemons, peeled the
frick out of apples, cleaned the spit out of the dishes, carried the hay out of the
haybales...
and thanks to all the farmers who contributed produce to the meal...and thanks to
Trumer and Magnolia brewery for
contributing some amazing brew...and thanks to Bill
Niman for helping out with some goats...and thanks to Toby for offering food and flowers directly from his hand worked plot of land...and thanks to Sierra and the friends at
Tartine for offering a morning of treats....
and oh, duh, Kyle Field, The
Sarees, Karl
Blau for opening the gates and sharing such amazing performances, and Jeff and Kelly and Kacey for
sculpting the shapes of light in the barn and helping elevate the air....and Sarina and Jamie for
DJing the pants off the people.
that's the thing, so many people helped and contributed out of good spirit. The lesson: an evening built on care is an evening where everyone feels cared for...and that's a powerful feeling.
here's a first batch of photos coming from the eyes of
hannah, she caught some moments...please pass on yours for flushing out the tale.
