Absolutely Kickass Party!!

Wow! We had the place packed all day! Kaedy outdid herself once again with the decorating, and our team of DJs provided an unequaled set during the Battle! When I say that Freakheim has the best DJs in SL, it's not an exaggeration! Troy had some technical issues that kept him from spinning, but Lainey popped in & saved the day. Fresh off a vacation, she was ready to spin and tossed out a killer set for the first hour. The next 4 hours were covered by the DJ Battle, and 6 of the finest spinners in SL rocked the place like never before! We had Marvel Kit, Ozark Hax, meka Chaffe, Guenevere DeCuir, Sly Nirpaw and Inked Jewell, each one with a unique musical perspective and together they're unstoppable! The night finished off with my return to the Shred, and I had a hell of a set to follow. I ended up spinning for nearly 3 hours, and was all over the musical spectrum.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Bash, whether you stayed all day or just popped in...it is you, the Freaks, who make Freakheim the rockinest club in SL!! Make sure you spread the word to everyone you know who loves great music and get 'em in to Freakheim!!

Freakheim Anniversary Coming Up!

Heyas!! Yep, I know, I've been kinda bad about posting lately. And kinda absent from SL too, for that matter. Damn RL has got me in a deathgrip lately. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and I'm pretty sure it's not a train....though I am quite deaf. The main reason for this post is that I thought I'd remind y'all that Freakheim's first anniversary is quickly approaching. A year is forever in SL time, so much has happened since FFH opened its doors. On Saturday 25 April we'll be having one hell of a party to celebrate a year of Freaky existence. Stay tuned for details, but I guarantee you'll want to be there.

Since I have the podium, mic, keyboard, floor, whatever, I'm going to take the time right now to thank my kickass Freaky Staff. Each and every one of you, most of whom have been with me from the very start. I played the first FFH set ever on 26 April 2008 and many of you were there. We would not have lasted this long without your dedication to the cause of great music. After playing various venues in SL I had the idea to open a place that focused on the music, where everyone would feel at home, let their hair down, and just Freakin' party!! Because of you, we did it!!!

I also want to thank the members of Band of Freaks for coming out, set after set, to see just what kind of silliness we'd get into that night. We have had some great times together, and there are a bunch of us! Just about everywhere you go in SL anymore, there will be a Freak there. Please mark your calendars for Saturday, 25 April 2009 and let's see just how many Freaks we can pack into the Funeral Home!!

L$ 75,000!!!!

Yesterday was the kickoff for Relay for Life 2009. Freakheim is part of the Spinners for Life relay team, and we hosted an all-day bash at the Funeral Home. By the time I logged off last night, we had raised L$75,000 from the kiosk in the club alone. When I popped in this morning, I noticed that the team total was over L$96,000, thanks to the generous support from the patrons of Lounge of Dreams and other locations. I'd like to offer my sincere thanks to all of you for supporting Relay, and for the tremendous kickoff we had!!

This year, the Spinners for Life HQ building is on the Freakheim sim, just before you get to Frankenlust Holiday Shoppe. Pop in and check the message board for upcoming Spinners events. There is also an option to subscribe to event notices without having to join the group. Relay lasts a little over 4 months, and we will continue to have fund-raising events throughout that time. If you happen to find yourself with some spare L$ in you pocket, please consider donating it through any of the convenient kiosks gridwide. Every little bit does help, even L$1.

In 2008, Spinners raised L$418,000 and we plan to exceed that this year. This cause is near & dear to me personally, and I know it is to many of you, too. Thank you!!!

300

Yep....we hit that magic number last weekend!! Our little Band of Freaks is growing steadily, as more folks find out about the Freakiest little underground club inworld. Attendance has been great lately, and this month we're participating in the Twisted Hunt, so more folks are gonna be wandering in & out and hopefully staying for the party!! We have a few new Staff members, so make sure you come on down & give them a Freaky welcome!! Coming up this Saturday is more LIVE Blues from Kelvinblue Oh. If you haven't heard this fantastic artist, make sure you come & give him a listen!! We've moved the set back to 5PM SLT so it's more convenient, and I'll be spinning afterward. I'll try to post again soon, RL has me all wrapped up these days and when I do have free time, I'm inworld rockin your asses!!! Be Freaky!!!

In Need of Hosties

As the weekend draws to a close, I figured I'd pop in & blather a bit. Freakheim's going strong, and the Band of Freaks has been hovering around 300 for a while recently. I know traffic's been off lately, but it's been down everywhere I go inworld. Pay no attention to the concurrent users number on the splash screen, as near as I can estimate, that figure represents about 30,000 bots.

You all know that Freakheim has the best music in SL, and very low lag. I'm always looking for DJs that have something to say musically, so if you know someone, pass their name to me. Right now, we are in need of hosts for several slots. If you would like to host for one of our kickass DJs, or know someone who would, send them over to talk to me or Sly.

There are some plans in the works to increase club traffic, including participation in a grid-wide hunt, sponsored events, and more. At Freakheim it's all about the music, and we are on a mission to make sure every music lover in SL has heard of us. I don't have much time to spend inworld these days, but when I am in, I do what I can to promote the club and our kickass Staff.

It looks like we all survived Valium Day, and now we enter the frantic run-up to Green Beer Day!! I like any holiday that focuses on heavy drinking & rowdiness!! Must be the Irish in me.....

Come on down to the Freakiest club in SL and bring along a friend or 5...someone will be the magic Freak Number 300 very soon!!

The Freakin' Weekend

Let's see...last time I was here I ran down the weekday sets, so let's have a look at the weekend lineup!!

Friday kicks off at 2PM with Krissy Mesmer and her hard-hitting set, Krissy is new to Fridays, come on down & check her out!! From 4-6 is the fabulous DJ Ishi with her unique mix of hard rock, JRock, and whatever else happens to cross her mind!! The Friday Freakshow from 6-8 is guaranteed to be the wackiest set of the night....yeah, I sometimes plan a set list but tend to follow the mood of the crowd, it's not unusual to hear everything from Bluegrass to Punk in the same set. Come on in & see if you can stump the freaky DJ!! Closing down Friday from 8-10 is Cyden Nightfire. Cyden has a huge music library and the sets are always kickass!!

Saturday's regular sets kick off at 11AM with Troy Kaminski, who has a love of classic Rock and plays some serious guitar tunes!! There is often a contest going on, and we've had some seriously wacky ones lately! From 1-3PM is the first part of the Dutch Assault, Marvel Kit. It took me a while to get Marv in here, but I'm glad I did! His sets definitely rock hard!! Marv has had RL commitments recently, and his slot has been filled by Guenevere DeCuir, fellow QR fanatic and lover of cheezy tuneage (and prone to on-air giggling fits). She's scheduled again this coming weekend, make sure to give her a listen!! 3-5PM Brings Part 2 of the Dutch Assault, the inimitable Ozark Hax. Oz is famous for finding the most bizarre tunes in the galaxy and mixing them into a hard-hitting set, you may end up laughing as much as dancing!! Rounding out Saturday is the Saturday Shred, THE show to see on Saturday night! (OK, a little self-promotion there)...but seriously, you know I'll play whatever, whenever, and I always have at least L$500 on the board.....

Sunday the rock keeps rolling with the TriLey show from 1-3PM The TriLey show is a dual-DJ set by the RL team of Trident & Bailey Runningbear. The music is always superb, the contests verge on naughty, and everyone has a blast!! From 3-5PM we have Tristan Micheline, and she can really spin a killer set!! She's definitely sick & twisted and a great soundtrack to Sunday!!
Finishing off the weekend, we have our very own Funeral Director, Sly Nirpaw from 5-7PM. Sly has a taste for the bizarre as well, and is a big fan of classic punk, thrash & garage Metal. One thing for sure, his sets are LOUD!!!

There you have it, the Freakin' Weekend lineup.....and remember, the Random Money Giver pays ya just for being a Freak!! See ya at Freakheim!!
