Great Nights You Won't Want to Miss!
Pennsic w/ Die Fledermaus:
Each August you can generally find a group of us at Pennsic w/ Clan Die Fledermaus.
In short, Pennsic is a HUGE festival that carries an underlying theme of a medieval reenactment. On the surface this lies at its core, but there's actually a LOT more going on than meets the eye.
There are literally 2 events running side by side: up top (literally up the hill), it's all about the reenactment. But down in the lowlands things take on a MUCH different flavor. The only way to
describe it is if you were to hold Burning Man 500 years ago in the woods of Pennsylvania then you'd have something fairly close to the low lands of Pennsic. We host parties well into the
morning hours & carry a deep slant toward fun debauchery to offer a vacation unlike any other.
Die Fledermaus - representing one of the oldest and most established camps for the entire festival, we tend to serve as the scene camp for those
into the alternative & adult sub-culture. With a long tradition of fun filled debauchery & endless possibility, we are indeed a camp worthy of it's reputation. Visit us online: DieFledermaus.us.
In coordination with Die Fledermaus, Richard A.D & The Metro Underground are an active participant in a few of the most well recognized parties for all of Pennsic. Including:
Carnival at Swampfest, Naked Spaghetti, & more. See site for details.
Krampusnaucht DC:
We're all familiar w/ the story of Santa Claus. But according to ancient lore, St. Nicholas actually had several attendants, one of which was the horned satyr Krampus.
Whereas St. Nick would reward good little girls & boys, Krampus would punish the bad kids. For 'truly' bad children, he'd even carry them off to later be devoured as his X-mas dinner!
Kampsusnacht DC takes place on the first Saturday of December. Celebratory revelers parade through the night, carousing their way through the
streets & warn attendant children to be nice. In a city known for its cultural diversity, we're proud to assist in the annual Kampusnacht on H Street. With a schedule of
events that run throughout the evening, Kampusnacht offers a little something for everyone - perfect for families & revelers alike!
