About Us

We run a hookah lounge and serve iced coffee in the afternoon, and host live music performances, talks, and workshops into the evening most weekdays.

Drop us a line at info-at-playasophy-dot-org to get in touch. If you're interested in using our lounge space for a performance/talk/workshop, want to share an experience you had at our camp, or just want to learn more about Playasophy, we'd love to hear from you.

How to Use This Wiki

If you're browsing the wiki for the first time, you can't go wrong with the special "All Pages" page at Special:AllPages.

Red Links denote pages that need to be written. You can add red links of your own by surrounding text in [[double square brackets]]. See also Wikipedia's markup cheatsheet and full markup help page.

Some popular pages include the Packing list, the Music page, and Roles description pages.

You may also be interested in art projects like the Wonderdome and Hookah Lounge, or camp infrastructure, including Power, Water, and Electricity. You may even be so interested that you write those pages.

Some camp subcommunities are so well established that they deserve their own wiki pages. For example, The Saratogans or the Sig Tau contingent.

Account Creation

We've disallowed anonymous edits to combat spam. To modify the wiki you're going to need a user account.

First up, click the link to create an account:

Once the admin approves your account you'll get another email with a generated password. Click the link to log in...
