I have done some crazy parties in some crazy places in my life, this one was probably in the top 5....

A barn with fainting goats....(yes, fainting, like fall flat off of all fours fainting...)

Nice dinner....

The table setting was a table for 50 down the center of a barn with the table and bar design done by the client whom is world renowned for her expression of food and service. I will refer to her as Ms. Eva...anyway...Ms. Eva teaches across the planet on the experiences and history of the dining table, from Renaissance Dining and Banquets to Nouveau Dining of the up and coming chefs in the world. What an interesting individual!!!! It is humbling because it makes me realize that no matter how much I think I know, I don't know shit...
