Frozen Dead Guy Days This Weekend!

Yep, it's time once again for that amazing event:



Frozen Dead Guy Days, in case you haven't read about it before (including on this blog), celebrates "Grandpa in the Tuff Shed." In short, a man kept his grandpa's body in dry ice in a shed on his property in Nederland. (His version of cheap crygenics.) When Our Hero was deported to his native country, people continued to keep dry ice on Grandpa. Now the old guy is the central focus of a whole weekend's worth of events!
