Friday Events 2025

Introverted, shy, or socially awkward? You’re not alone—and you’re invited. This low-pressure meetup is made for folks who want connection without the usual overwhelm. No icebreakers, no being put on the spot. Participate as much or as little as you like. We’ll even share tools for navigating social situations.

e.a.rowe is the stage name of Eric, a.k.a. Ranger Ahni, who has been writing and recording his own music since 1986, and in recent years has even written a few things he feels good about enough to share. Please join us for his debut playa performance!

Write, exchange, and share original poetry or poems you love! First half will be free writing, and guided prompts for those interested. Second half will be open for sharing work with the group.

This is an acting audition. Don’t let the song lyrics fool you. There will be no singing. You will be given sides to perform as a monologue. I want to see your dramatic talent. Search for James McNicholas for examples.

Unleash your creativity and hammer out a one-of-a-kind piece of wearable art! In this hands-on metal stamping workshop, you’ll get tools, materials, and instruction to create bold (or weird) designs. Make a charm, pendant, or keychain with a name, date, or snarky sentiment. All materials provided.

Band ‘ten HUT! 76 Trombones led the big parade… but they got eaten by bees and now all I have is some kazoos. Come join the BoF Musical Moving Mayhem Machine and PI Services LImited! Band practice is Fri/Sat day at 1pm, with a performance/Parade from BoF to the Burn before conclave. Other parade acts are HEAVILY encouraged.

Do you like good craft beers? Are you the type that enjoys sharing with others? Bring a couple of your favorites beers to 4GoldFingers, try whatever others brought and hang out, talk beer, or whatever else is on your mind. Please No “big chain” branded beers. Remember to bring your own cup and some water to rinse between tastes.

Come visit Shambhala on the Playa. We’ll be sharing yummy hand made veggie momos (Nepali style dumplings). Enjoy some hot or cold chai and sweet delights from South Asia while the momos take a steam bath to get ready for you to eat them. Friday and Sunday.

Unleash your inner Triceratops and conquer your primeval pangs with hot n’ crispy triceratots that will tame even the most ferocious of appetites! Make your mark on Terry the Triceratops and learn some cool Triceratops facts. Bring the herd.

Come get deviled! We will provide a variety of prefabbed, lightweight, foam clay horns on headbands which are ready to paint & add fun adornments to, so you can create your perfectly horned headdress! While you create your unique piece, stop by our deviled egg bar & have a deviled egg while you sip on a spicy mango margarita!

Is there such a thing as the perfect grilled cheese sandwich? You’ll have to drop by Flaketown to find out! We’ll have vegan cheese and gluten free bread available in addition to our usual options.

Do you have what it takes to be crowned Weiner Master? Fear not, everyone is a Weiner at Camp Familia! Bring your buns to show off your skills. Costumes are encouraged. Vegan options available.

Dance the night away to your favorite terrible high school dance songs and take awkward prom pictures. (You do not need to be poly to attend Poly Prom)
