Events & Performers
Most things at InterFuse are spontaneous, but some things do happen at scheduled times.
Midwest Burners/InterFuse does not book performers or entertainers for our events. YOU create the entertainment as a free gift to everyone else! Please remember that the point of InterFuse is to give gifts and make friends rather than to promote to a consumer base.
Tell the Event Planners about your InterFuse event or performance by April 9th to get it listed here and in the Front Gate Handout. This will make people more aware of your event (and you’ll get more participants).
Use the form at the bottom of this page to get your event or performance listed.

Pancakes Are Art! |
Where: Kokpelli's Coffee House & Pancake Universe (Theme Camp) Once again, Kokopelli's Coffee House and Pancake Universe will be doing the "Pancakes are Art!" thing for your dining pleasure! Start your Burn Day off with this celebration of Edible Art! What? You've never had a Death By Chocolate pancake? Never tasted a Heart Attack Special? Don't think Bacon & M&M's could fit in a pancake? Ask anyone who's survived the experience, they'll tell you that you can fit almost anything in one of Kokopelli's Monster Cakes! Of course, we'll be brewing enormous quantities of Koko's Gourmet Coffee, and we'll be firing up two or three camp griddles to cook Monster Pancakes to golden perfection - we offer Bacon, M&M's or whatever other (legal) substances show up as "decoration" on these plate-sized not-so-flat gourmet treats. We've had pretty nearly every fruit you can imagine - strawberries, bannanas, pears, apples, peaches, and papayas. We've had Little Debbies, Hershey's, almonds, peanuts, coffee, and peanut butter. If you can imagine it in a pancake, bring it on, we can probably cook it! If you have a favorite topping to share, bring it along - we've had Nutella, Cinnamon syrup, Starbuck's Best, Maple syrup, Vanilla syrup and Chocolate syrup along with our standard Mrs. Butterworth's. All pancakes are "to order" and if you order "Cook's Choice" you could be thrilled (or not). Of course, this kind of mayhem doesn't happen without a lot of participation - if you think you have what it takes to spend a couple of hours as a Volunteer to make this all happen, as a Coffee Chef, Assistant Coffee Chef, Sub-Assistant Coffe Chef, Pancake Mixer, Water Person, or even a Pancake Chef (references required!), you have an opportunity to make a Singular Contibution to an Iconic Event at InterFuse! Contact Mad Hatter to volunteer. We need about 8-10 loyal volunteers to make this work - and there's cool swag for those who can hack it! |
Saturday, 2:00 PM - |
The Fourth Estate Club |
Where: Kokopelli's Time Warp Coffee House and Pancake Cafe (Theme Camp) Everyone who participated in creating this year's Front Gate Handout is invited to Kokos to celebrate our trashy creation with cocktails, critiques, toasts, and endless self-aggrandizement.
