BAR

TCO: Skat

BAR is back and shittier than ever. 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

Lighting up the darkness since the beginning. And maybe some warm images.

Phart Camp

TCO: Bexx

Welcome to the Geo-home, Frostburn's official living room; the warmest, driest, coziest

theme camp since 2016! 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

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!!

The Effigy

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.

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?!

burning, creamy, dark liquor. Again, this year we will be bringing a wide selection of

America's finest spirit. Since the 18th century our ancestors have been imbibing in this

delectable treat and we intend to carry the tradition forward and sail through the skies

to Kentucky. Everyone is encouraged to bring their favorite bottle of bourbon to share

with your fellow participants. The more, the merrier we will get. Please try to

remember to bring a cup. We look forward to tipping a few back with you!
