The Letterpress Shanty is home to Northern Spark’s communally authored letterpress broadside, The Shantyquarian. Combining social networking with old-fashioned hand-printing from moveable type, The Shantyquarian turns socially generated text (sourced from social networking platforms) into a hand-typeset document laid out and printed on a letterpress and distributed to visitors throughout the night.

Good night, shanty!
What a monster success your shanty is. I have been to the shanty town every year since it's inception and I have never seen a shanty with a line to get in. WOW!
