Burning Porcupine Festival 2008
*Disclaimer: Anarchy In Your Head does not condone the burning alive of jackboots.
You may have heard of the Porcupine Freedom Festival, more casually referred to as Porcfest. Well Burning Porcupine is a much less official occasion that was thrown together by a few Free State Project members out in Grafton, based loosely on the Burning Man Project. Details below were copied from the New Hampshire Underground. The plan is to build a wooden porcupine for a bonfire rather than a wooden man.
Burning Porcupine Festival: July 14th-25th 2008
The 12 Days of Freedom
What happens in Grafton stays in Grafton
See Free-staters at their Wildest!
Anarchic camp-out in Free Town Grafton NH
There will be drinking, burning things, sitting around BSing, bands, toilets and showers in the woods, talking about the revolution, and of course a giant burning rodent. 
It’ll be one big party. Lloyd is going to do a naked fire dance. Tim Condon is going to prance in a gorilla suit to do: a circle of liberty, poetry reading, lead a Scrabble tournament, readings of patriotic documents, MC a magic show, a libertarian play. Wookie skydiving is on the schedule. There’s a possibility of warm-weather jello wrestling. Get your nails done by illegal nail buffers: an unlicensed Buff-In. Sumo-wrestling to settle any endless debates - noisemeter from the crowd to arbitrate. Shooting and golf - with extra points for shooting golf balls out of the air. Libertarian karaoke - full spray with firehose if you’re really bad - instead of the hook aka Gong Show. Logging competition. Burning Porcupine moving-making contest. Poker tournament with ounces of silver. Fireworks illegal in most states - IED exhibition. Burning President William. An FSP Roast - a few minutes for each freestater notable (submit your nominations for people to be roasted) - cardboard cutouts for roasting those in absentia. Live video from the event. Nightly UN flag burning.
If any of these events don’t actually happen: sue us.
Blame Burning Porc planning on these irresponsibles: Tim Condon, Bob Hull, Lloyd Danforth, the Kannings, Rich Angell

But of course, burning jackboots alive is something I wouldn’t complain about were it to happen.

If we come across any huge wooden porcupines … that baby’s goin’ up in flames.

Dammit Russel, Don’t you know that all this talk of burning babies is Spoiling It For The Rest Of Us(tm)?!?!?

You’re not sounding very pacifist there, Russell! O.o

I’ll plan to get up there a week early for help with construction and whatever

Free State Project–pretty funny, considering it’s endorsed by the anti-gay, anti-immigrant Ron Paul, and it seeks to protect “property” as part of the “life, liberty and property” triage. Don’t confuse Libertarianism with Anarchism.
