We managed not to die last year, so are stepping it up this year to give us more things to fuck up. We once again intend to have heat, cheap beer and cheaper liquor. But you know, the best laid schemes o' mice an' men and all that. There will be sound for you to shake your money maker to, hopefully, unless it shits the bed. So stop by, grab a beer (or many), bitch at the staff (or admire their stalwart efforts at keeping this dive heated and open), mock the management (or take over and run this shit hole yourself), and gripe about the music while you do your mating dance. Burly Ten Pint Men TCO: Shawn A merry band of medievalist misfits spreading the Pennsic love. Come join us around the fire for drinks, food, and hospitality. Pub songs and stories, fun and games, outrageous lies a specialty. Death Café TCO: Moose What do a nihilist, a cynic, and an existentialist have in common? Coffee! We like to talk about dark stuff. We also like to drink caffeine well past the point of panic. This cafe runs mostly during the day-but stop by and try your luck past sundown. If the light is on the coffee is brewing. Our motto is "Go Sharks!" and we promise, we do not make the best cup of coffee. Habitat for Insanity TCO: Teppy Illumination TCO: Butterbean Lighting up the darkness since the beginning. And maybe some warm images.

No shirt, NO SHOES, no problem! We encourage you to BYO slippers and keep them in our slipper bin throughout the weekend; just remember to pick them up before you depart on Monday! 24-hour popcorn machine for all your snacking needs. Join us anytime we're home and ask to do some group art, music, games, fire spinning, mad-libs, kazoo-making, and more with us and a group of us will definitely most probably oblige. Priority5 TCO: Birdperson Returning for our 7th year you HAVE to make sure you stop on by. Listen for the music coming from a space station, that will be us. Bringing you excellent dance tunes all weekend long, a bar that can't be passed on, and the world renowned bourbon tasting; the warmth and cheer is sure to be flowing at Priority5. Rabbit Fires Grillé TCO: Basil Welcome to Rabbit Fires Grillé! This 5th dimensional business venture has been made possible by the partnership of the following camps: White Rabbit: A chill hang space. Come join us for hookah, arts and chats in our heated yurt! First Fires: Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor theft of entire camp in the gloom of night stays First Fires from the swift completion of their appointed shenanigans! Back, brand new, better than ever, and complete with that new-camp-smell, come visit the First Fires cave for the cozy cuddle puddle, camp library, open mic, cave painting, games and goofs and more! Fromage Grillé: = cheese + bread + heat !3 Shawn Ruins Everything TCO: Abi A small camp of southeastern folks who want the world to know that it will not, in fact, be fine—and it’s all Shawn’s fault. The BEST Camp TCO: Mama Bear The BEST Camp Family is a group of seasoned burners who offer a laid back chill environment to hang out, have a drink, and laugh until your sides hurt. We keep an eternal fire roaring to warm your bones, and will be hosting a few wonderful events throughout the weekend. Stop by and decide for yourself what makes us the BEST. The Burlington GOAT Factory TCO: Shane We celebrate the greatest of all time across all endeavors. We will channel Guy Fieri to take you to flavortown with our signature Four Loko recipes. Rumors are that Tom Brady will be on hand for autographs, and we will be doing dramatic readings of his birth chart as well as his inspirational training book, The TB12 Method. The Toddy Temple TCO: Couch UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT. Black Metal. Black Tea. Black Liquor. Black Hearts. White Dragon Noodle Bar TCO: Teapot The White Dragon Noodle Bar is back from our travels round the 'verse for another year of slingin' salty noodles and stingin' drunken wit. When the tent's open, stop by for a snack, a chat, a drink, a game, or yet another story about your very generous mother. At sundown stay for our world-famous vegan soy shiitake noodle soup! !4 The Effigy ____________________________________ The Snowman Artists: The Great Northern Effigy Builders The Temple ____________________________________ The Flamingos Artist: Grafton and Hyena This year a flock of flamingos will be descending on Frostburn to participate with us on the tundra. These fabulous, larger-than-life pink feather friends will strut their stuff from one end of camp to the other. Watch out for their outrageous antics throughout the event. !5 Art Grant Recipients __________________________________________________________________ Burning Burning Bison Artist: Phil Servita Burning Burning Bison! It's like Hungry Hungry Hippos, for adults. It's bigger, it's noisier, it's blazing bison heads, and all your marbles are ON FIRE! Pyramid of Progression Artist: Wren Both audio and presence interactive, The Pyramid of Progression is a playful reminder to always continue moving onwards and upwards, composed of a 20x20x24 steel pyramid with 512 matrixed, ping pong ball diffused LEDs comprising an inverted pointed chevron. Frosty/Burny Artist: Bambi Welcome to Frostburn. "When all's said and done, all roads lead to the same end. So it's not so much which road you take, as how you take it." - Charles de Lint Two-Word Poetry Artist: Bethany Remember the joy of magnetic fridge poetry? The fun of cheekily mixing pre-set words into something a little bit nonsensical, a little bit inspirational, sometimes a little bit cheeky? I want to bring that nostalgia to the wandering souls and hopeful drunks of the Frostburn playa. We'll create double-sided "magnets" to mount on a preexisting playa- tech fire bar. As people wander the burn, they can either add their own words or just update the existing ones with their own messages! The Arbitrary Nature of Human Law Artist: Stilted Saint Who decides what's right and what's wrong? Here, we do. Out there, in the default world, a complex system of laws dictates what we're required to do at any point in time and at any place. Why? Why is something legal in one place, and against the law in another? How can some laws be so baseless and some regulations be so... arbitrary?? This art piece is inspired by one of those laws. See how you react to it. Will you follow it blindly? Will you comply, or will you ignore it? Will you take it as a challenge? This may become a popular photo spot. If I said "no pictures", would you listen? !6 Important Trainings and Meetings ____________________________________ Medical: Friday 02/15 at 4:00 PM inside Gate Ranger: Main training: Friday 02/15 at 7:00 PM inside Gate Back-up training: Saturday 02/16 at 10:00 AM **late arrivals/emergency back-up only** Rangers should also attend the Effigy Perimeter safety meeting (listed below).
