Kickass week & 200!!!!

This past week at Freakheim seriously kicked ass, and ended with a bang!! Inked Jewell did her first Freakheim set on Tuesday with a Retro event, and did an awesome job rocking the place!! Lots of new faces were in attendance, and everyone had a killer time!

On Thursday, Rosie Barthelmess made her Freakheim debut, and wow, what a set!! Rosie exposed her previously hidden Rocker side, and even the bodies downstairs were dancing! If you missed either of these two sets, make sure you catch them this week!!

Ishi also rocked the house, doing the 6-8 on Thursday and the 4-6 on Friday. Every time she plays, she continues to introduce me to more killer tunes I've never heard!!

Saturday was an unusual day at Freakheim, and the Rockinest one all week!! We started out by hosting Guen & Oz's wedding reception, and Kaedy did her usual phenomenal job of decorating the front lawn.


I got on the stream for an hour, then we were treated to killer live Blues from the UK provided by the awesome Blindboy Gumbo!! I had neglected to tell him that he'd be playing at a wedding party, but he jumped right in and kept the place hopping, including playing some incredible acoustic slide!! If you missed his set, make sure to watch the calendar, we'll be having him back again soon!

After Blindboy's set, I got on the air for another hour, and we moved the party inside the club. OZ took over at 4PM, and man, what a set!! We decided to have a Formal event so folks wouldn't have to change, and we had enough participation to boost the prize to L$1000!! Everyone looked great, and OZ was on such a roll that he played clean through till 7PM!! I enjoyed every minute of his set, just one kickass tune after another!!

Now for the "200" reference in the title: On Saturday evening, the Band of Freaks went over 200 members!! I know, there is always a little attrition from folks dropping the group for work reasons, etc., but it was still a major milestone. I appreciate each and every one of you who make the effort to stop by & let us rock you. Especially those who have Group membership issues due to their SL jobs. As I have said from the beginning, it's all about the music, and you Freaks have voted with your teleporters time and again by coming to Freakheim! We hope to continue bringing you the best music in SL, whether it be one of our kickass DJs or a live musician. If you hear a live musician or a DJ that you'd like us to bring to Freakheim, let me, Kaedy or Sly know & we'll try to get 'em in here. Thank you for beleiving in the music and making Freakheim a happening place!!

My god,Rykk.... the place is really kickin' off!!! Thanks for giving Guen and Me the oppertunity to have our wedding reception at Freakheim, and Kaedy, great job decorating.... i guess u missed your calling, girl!!!

About reaching 200 Freaks, you sound a bit serprized, Rykk... Why,I wonder, you hang out there often too, don't you? You of all people should know how FREAKHEIM secretly gets to your brain, never to let it loose again...
