the 100-mile suit: demo day at ICA


100 copy.jpg



thanks to velma, i heard about the 100 mile suit project. for ONCE IN MY LIFE i have learned to say NO NO NO when an exciting fiber opportunity comes up - spinning far, far too many plates as is - but my spinning micro-posse did some spinning at the demo day at the ICA.

there were some interesting things at the ICA other than the demo itself.





as you can imagine the impromptu concert from hometown heroes hall and oates was the big event of the day. the crowd was wall-to-wall and i've never seen a more electric performance, never saw daryl and john so alive.

ben and i were given a very personalized tutorial in brain-tanning of deer hides, too. and we met the man who will be WEARING the 100-mile suit. and while i could NOT make the time to spin, i did make the time to sit on the floor and gesture bossily, and then go out for indian food with everyone afterwards. i look forward to - and will update on - the finished suit and lecture at the end of march.
