Great Nights You Won't Want to Miss!
Pennsic w/ Die Fledermaus:
Each August, you can find The Metro at Pennsic with 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 Two 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. In short, 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
of the alternative & adult sub-culture. With a long tradition of fun filled debauchery & endless possibility, we are indeed a camp worthy of our reputation. Visit us online at DieFledermaus.us.
In coordination with Die Fledermaus, Richard A.D. is a senior officer to clan & the core organizer for both Mardi Gras & Naked Spaghetti - two of the most recognized
& anticipated events for the entire festival.
Marid Gras (Mid-Monday): Welcome to Bourbon Street, where memories are made, fantasies come true, & revelry
rolls on a whole new level! Offering a Massive Drum Corps, Dancers Fer Miles, Special Super-Secret Awesome Performances, a Top Quality Bar, our World Famous Krak Fries, & Turkish Coffee! Beads
& Debauchery! The Die Fledermaus Torture Garden where legends are made! Plus Debauchery!
Did we mention the Debauchery? Mardi Gras is without question the largest & most anticipated event for all of Pennsic. We usually expect over 2,000 through camp
in a single night & roll well into the morning hours (usually winding down around 4:30am & ending final scenes around 7am). No doubt, THIS is a night you WON’T want to miss!
Naked Spaghetti (Mid-Sat): while Mardi Gras is the big one, we also host Friends & Family for Naked
Spaghetti. Initially designed as a smaller private affair, these days it’s become a well-known event. But we do cap our numbers so you'll need a coin to gain access. All in all, we expect
320 on the night.
And yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like – an all nude pasta party. Shoes & belts are permitted, but we ask all lurkers to leave. The crazy part? It’s a ridiculous theme, but we’re actually really serious about the food. We also have an open bar, & because we’re Bouchie, we even have a bar for Turkish
Coffee. We have drummers, entertainers, & dancers w/ a raging fire to keep everyone toasty. Then of course, the Die Fledermaus Torture Garden will be in full swing.
Feeling awkward? Don’t. We have all body-types, & you’d be amazed how normal you’ll feel after just 15 minutes when everyone else is reaching a new level of
‘normal.’ In fact, some have had a Major Personal Breakthrough! Who’d have guessed our crazy pasta party could be so good for the soul? Others have even met & even gotten married! Crazy, right?
There’s a bit of magic we can’t really explain. Then again, maybe it’s the Noodity!
In short, anything is possible. But alas, you’ll need a coin…
Krampusnaucht DC (krampusnachtdc.com): offering an incredible night of artistic
expression, talented performance, & revelry for all; Krampusnaucht was a marquee event for the DC scene. Bringing together some of the region's most creative talent, it was a forerunner which
helped bring the Krampusnacht tradition to U.S. shores. We're very proud to have been a player in such an amazing group, & humbled by those who were the driving force to keep it alive for so
long.
Unfortunately, life is a moving parade & things often change. So in the wake of Covid, we decided to hang up our horns & call it a day. But we thank you for your years of support!
