DOCTOR ENTROPY'S BASTILLE DAY LIBERATION CELEBRATION
FIBER ARTS AND SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY

July 14, 2001
 BARN O'DOCTOR ENTROPY
PORTLAND, MAINE

This was one of the best day-long affairs I've hosted to date.  I opened up my fabric studio to interested parties from 9 am to 4 pm to create a wide range of art on fabric (batik, tie-dye, direct dye, shibori, marbling and more...) and hosted a wild single malt whisky tasting that ran from about 4:30 pm to around 3 am (at least that's when I was put to bed...  ;).  We created many new advocates that day - both to single malt whisky and to fiber art design.  

This event went completely over the top - one of the best days of my life to date!
