The Great Canadian Beaver Eating Contest

I was asked recently where TGCBEC was held in 2011. I have no idea. Nor where it was held in 2010 or 2009 for that matter. I certainly know where it isn't held. Anybody know whether or not TGCBEC is still going on after lo these many years? I did not see it in the 2011 Playa Events guide.

I think the Lost Penguin camp hosts that.

Is this a euphemism for something, or are they actually eating the rodents?

I can't tell if any of these responses are even remotely helpful. I'm dubious on all except one. If you really do know the answer, why not PM me. I should have known better...

they asked to hold it one of the domes in 2009, however we declined, we had enough BLM and sheriffs hanging around as it was, we didn't want any more "watchers"...

A beaver has a pelt!!!

These days a lot of women don't have beavers.

I was able to dig this up, about 2010. Though, I haven't found anything for 2011.
I do remember it being discussed by one of the Theme camps last year, and specifically not being listed in the WWW.

I didn't see it by that name in the 2011 Playa Events Guide... However I did see a cunnilingus contest was in there.

The reason I remember it is because later that day in my travels I saw a camp with a sign out front for that event and that they were requesting volunteers. They apparently had eaters show up, but much like in the 1800s fur trappers had screwed up and... the Beavers had become scarce.

They apparently didn't take as many Pacific Northwest History classes as I had growing up.

Awww Sorry to be missed... I mean it's good and all, but ...

I need to be around more. It's a lot better than what I've BEEN doing.

Hi all, \\

It seems our camp has to issue this clarification every year, but the GCBEC hasn't been hosted at The Lost Penguin since 2005. Not sure where it is this year, but it's not at our camp.

Thanks

<bump>

Just had another inquiry about this. How come I am expected to know something like this? I don't even own a beaver. However, has anyone esle heard a thing?

Bring your own beaver... or not.

Oooooh!

Blast from the past!

Yeah, 2017 special! Grand reunion at Bianca's right after the TOA slave auction. Back alleys behind the 10:00 radial.

When all the beavers have been ate, party with Daft Punk at the trash fence.

After a two year absence from the Playa, the GCBEC was resurrected in 2015 and 2016, but without advertising in the printed version of the WWW. In 2017, it was advertised in the printed version of the WWW and held on Monday night to the delight of throngs of cheering spectators and dozens of Beavers and Eaters. in 2018, it's planned for Thursday, the traditional night, and it is planned to be advertised in the WWW printed version.

And yes, real cooked beaver sausage will be served as an appetizer before the Beaver eating begins

You must dress proper for these contests

@DraggerM 10 years ago, it was all word of mouth, and it got a great crowd. You might do some research on how the playa events database propagates through the API to the apps. That's a lot of spectators.
