The geniuses from the dICEHOUSES also made this amazing Shanty Poster this year, and it doubles as a game!  Kaara and I got ours today, and we hope to play a game soon.  It features images to represent each shanty.  Super-cool!  Donate and get yours here.  (and of course don't forget we still have prints of our amazing poster, too!)

I really hope you made it to see the final opera performances!  Many, many, many people did!

It was maybe the coldest day yet, but anything is better than last weekend's slush-fest.  Knock on wood.
 
 
A man came into the shanty today looking for his keys.  If you are reading this post, and it was you, and you still haven't found them, the Art Shanty Projects found a set of keys!  Let us know!  iceartswap@gmail.com
 
 
One of our visitors posted her account of her visit to shanty-land on her blog.  Check it out!

Wow, I really hope you see this!

It was unreal!
 
 
With a line sometimes ten-deep out the door, today was another exciting day at the Art Swap Shanty!  The swapping frenzy was heightened by the drama of the ice opera!  Join us tomorrow to see it again, at 1:30 and 2:30.  You don't want to miss this six-minute opera!  Please note, we do close the shanty for a few minutes before the performance so the singers can warm up their voices under our hat.

See you on the ice!

 
 
We are super-psyched that this weekend we will host in our vicinity:  Tonya and Nancy: the Opera!, telling the thrilling and crazy story of that ill-fated Winter Olympics long ago.  Director Scotty Reynolds and Mixed Precipitation will delight and amaze you at 11:30 and 12:30 on Saturday, 1:30 and 2:30 on Sunday. Don't miss it!
