In November 2009, Destination DIY partnered up with the lovely ladies of PDX Salon for An Evening of DIY at The Woods.
Please enjoy this podcast episode composed of material recorded that evening:

Pete Springer captured these photos from the event:

The event included live demonstrations and interviews about how to make radio, how to make a terrarium and how to make bacon. In between, the evening's guests visited the Recording Room to share their own DIY projects and ideas. An Evening of DIY successfully kicked off a campaign to raise money for new hour-long, radio-ready episodes of Destination DIY in 2010. Click the links below to listen to some of the material recorded that night and, if you feel so inclined, please donate your support to this project. Thank you so much to everyone who has already donated their support.
