Cabin fever (n) : A condition of boredom, restlessness and claustrophobia caused by spending long periods indoors due to the snow and bad roads. The Cabin Fever University catalogue is a makeshift list of workshops, gatherings, film screenings, and other events put together by Celo members and friends to get through the winter months. The calendar isn't up on the web or anything, just lovingly photocopied on paper then wire bound by a volunteer community printer. The Cabin Fever University phenomenon has since spread to other areas of Yancy county as well. Welcome to Cabin Fever University text by Robin Dreyer Winter is upon us and once again the neighborhood has turned itself inside out with places to go and things to do during cold days and long nights. It's unlikely that anyone would want to do all this stuff, but it's possible that everyone might want to do some of it. Of course, some folks don't take nothin from nobody and they would rather stay home and watch the wind blow. Which is very fine, and there may be more like them, in which case they could do it together. And next year they might want to invite a few more and call it a happening. In which case it could be desirable to let everybody know. Which is why we do this. Bear in mind that this catalogue might look organized but there is no actual organization. And everything contained here is subject to change. We make mistakes, people forget, stuff comes up, and things look different in the morning. So call ahead, check the coop for late breaking news, and keep your ear to the ground. If you show up and its not happening, nothings lost, and someone is probably awake who would be glad to see you as long as you've got your coat and boots on and nowhere to go. Have a good Winter.
