The 8th Freaks Ball — El Ocho Loco — is coming. There’s no sense waiting around for Zeppelin to get back together, so get involved with the real deal in Brooklyn next week to see what all this Russo/Metzger/Benevento fluffing is all about.

Freaky is partying with Funkadelic in a diaper while George pontificates on Bootsy’s bassisms.
Freaky was that girl at the Black Crowes Halloween show wearing the inflatable redneck in overalls costume (with pump inside costume) dancing around with a 3 foot prop fatty.
She was wayyyy into the show and a true music freak!!
Freaky is smahing an air guitar on and igor’s table at 8am
Freaky is rocking out to Hairy Apes BMX at Le Bon Ton with the morning light streaming in the windows while surrounded by half dressed people.
Freaky is Us.
Kinky is using feathers, Freaky is using the whole chicken
Stumble, shamble, siddle…where is my drink, what is this sound why is it all melting…
Freaky is more than 10 words worth of explaining.
Freaky is going to so many Freaks Balls that the first one you attended featured Robert Randolph opening for the Squad. Freaky is watching JC smash that air guitar at Igor’s for 6 years running. Freaky is knowing 90% of the half dressed people at Le Bon Ton, and hoping MIke D stays hidden behind the vibes. Freaky is reading Mitty’s rants on Kimock, Neddy’s Duo fluffing, AJ’s body boarding mishaps and Disko’s weak jokes; its still making fun of D’owen for dressing like a pizza guy, treasuring the words of wErD, missing BG writing in ALL CAPS and saying F Twilley.
Its Jazz Fest, Late Night, RANA in a tent in Whitehall, Phish in Vegas, Ween in New Hope, Marco & Joe at the Tap Bar & RR at Lakeside. Its Galactic in the Main Space, Bustle on the Boat, hating the Knit, loving the Bowery and missing the Wetlands. It’s Panic at Radio City, and Trey at Radio City & moe. at Radio City, and regrettably, sometimes SCI at Radio City. Its 7 Jenns, the return of Rosen, Butter at Finally Freds, and Nasty Habits at Southpaw. Freaky is quitting your real job to follow a slightly above average funk band around & sell merch for $30/day. Its finally getting into theaters as a Tour Manager 7 years later. Its drinking Euro-Flacos in the Lounge & seeing Jake on TV. It’s Bad, Its Nationwide, it offers 23% more cavity fighting power, and it comes with no money down and no interest for 12 months. Freaky is the best.
See you kids at Marco tonight.
a haiku entry:
…Metzger and Russo…
…drunk Neddy swigging Maker’s…
…another Freaks Ball!
Never saying sorry for my antics at shows.
Losing your inhibitions and feeling the music in your soul.
Freaky is taking a steamy dump on my chest!
when you walk down the street people throw up
I always read your blog in high spirits. Thanks 🙂
I wish i could take ticket and see.. 🙁
