N estled in the hills of Southern Indiana is the venue of this year's AOB Campout. This summer, Our Haven Nature Sactuary's 175 acres of beautifully wooded, secluded, and peaceful paradise serve as host to this bookseller's getaway!
L et the warm sunshine and clean air wash away the constant drone of packing and shipping and scouting! We like to call it 'primitive camping with ammenities'. Hot showers and good times make camping easy.

WyldFyre
Entertainment around the fire on Saturday night will be provided by Molly "WyldFyre". Molly will be accompanied by local drummers, so if you have a djembe, bongos, bodhran, etc, bring it along to join in. Molly is a dear friend of the AOB family and is one of the best known fire-dancers in the MidWest.
The "Penny Book Bonfire"
 Tired of looking at all those penny books? Bring 'em with you and we'll light up the night with them!
That's right .. bring those penny books with you and we'll torch 'em!! Set this to music, shoot off some fireworks, and watch the 'fire spinners' and you have a blazin' good time!
This was one of the more controversial events at past campouts, so we thought we'd do it again!

Campout Schedule
CAMPOUT SCHEDULE
We're doing things a little differently this year with the schedule. On Friday evening, we'll all get together and go over what areas, technologies, and features those present wish to be covered. We will then put together the full schedule for the days we're all here. This event is intended not only as an intensive collaboration between AOB staff and users, but a getaway for all! In years past, we've gone from a light schedule with not much covered, to a WAY too intensive schedule that quickly became tiresome for all. This year we're trying to strike a balance for everyone. We hope everyone can make it!
