It was a bourbon-crazed crowd that summery August night (the 16th, to be exact) at Freeman's Alley. Thanks to the ingestion of beaucoup amounts of Presbyterians (Bulleit bourbon and god knows what else :), editors from Seed to Shape were mishing and mashing like nobody's business. Bulleit bourbon sponsored the party, in case you didn't notice and Freeman's Alley contributed their delectable hors d'oeuvres, "devils on horseback" -- hot dates wrapped in bacon. Sounds like a perfect combination to us.
