We're coming for you, Florida. March 11th-20th, we're joining forces again with the only surf-rock band you'll ever need - Harmonica Lewinski. Harmonica Lewinski is a good time rock-n-roll band that hails from Rochester, New York. Imagine if Dick Dale and the Rolling Stones had a baby. Now add a feral baboon in a Hawaiian shirt drinking a pina colada with 3 umbrella straws and a pogo stick. That wild & wonderful monstrosity is Harmonica Lewinski. Guaranteed for smiles or your money back. All shows are free. Come out. Get weird. We trippy dog dare you. 

"What do you do? Do you come here often? What's your sign? What are your hobbies?" Out of all the vapid generic questions you will inevitably be bombarded with throughout the course of your life, there is one that stands out. The spirit animal question. Seemingly just another piece of fluff, but little pieces of a person's true light accidentally shines through with spirit-animal explanations. I'll show you mine if you show me yours. WHAT YOU'RE WINNING: We have 5 care packages this week featuring The Local Branch! Mackenzie and Blaine are adventurers, makers, explorers. They are lovers of life, design, and each other. They live and work full-time nomadically out of an airstream, with the open road as a backyard. Want to see how to operate a hands-on retail store, production facility, and living headquarters in limited (& mobile!) space? See their CNN interview here! We're featuring their wild animal artwork, hand printed on encyclopedia paper. Each winner also gets a pair of Pride or Die socks and a matching Freaker! HOW TO ENTER: Get on Instagram and show us your wildest spirit animal. Use the hashtag #FreakerBranch for your chance to win! Winners announced in our Tuesday newsletter!

They always say that March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb... but what does that mean? How do lions generally "come in"??? Our first guesses had to do with "lion pride" and "coming out" conspiracies, but no no - too complicated. Don't worry, we found the answer: 100% of lion prides are diehard Fast & Furious fans. They "come in" a quarter mile at a time, with pink slips and spoilers. Typical lion pride. Ride or Die, y'all. Ladies and gentlemen, give a warm welcome to the newest member of the family.. Pride or Die Freakers & Freaker Feet!!

Life is an unpredictable rollercoaster of surprises, but there is one constant that will never waiver: nobody (NOBODY) will ever be cooler than old spy movies. Secret functions and surprise identities can be applied to our everyday lives though. Vinegar doubles as a sidewalk-weed killer and olive oil as furnisher polish. Men use puppies to bait unsuspecting ladies. People use shoes as a wine openers, anchors for tiny bathtub-boats, and flying-ninja weapons towards George W. Bush. Oh you fancy, huh? It's Friday - hit me with your best shot.  WHAT YOU'RE WINNING: We have 5 care packages this week featuring the multi-functioning wonders of Zootility Tools!  What started as a one-man Kickstarter project has now grown into 14 employees, 4 lasers, and a bustling shop full of manufacturing equipment in Portland, ME. #AMERRRRRRICAZootility makes a handful of unique, convenient, and functional tools that are thin enough to fit in your wallet and diverse enough to get your out of a variety of sticky spots.  This week we're featuring their HeadgeHog - the really really thin wallet-comb that also functions as a bottle opener, Phillips screwdriver, phone kickstand. hex wrentches, money clip, comb, and chip clip.  Each winner also gets a Party Ferret Freaker!  HOW TO ENTER: Get on Facebook, find this graphic, and let us know in the comments what your secret function is for your chance to win!  Winners announced in our Tuesday newsletter!

We get by with a little help from our friends. Our friends happen to be in the 5th grade. TACCO PARTIES FOREVER!!!

The United States of America is an undeniably magical place. From the center of the world named New York City to the tropical paradise of Hawaii to the badlands to the swamplands to dessert to quaint to chaos in 0 to 60. Politicians have a predictable habit of giving themselves an absurd amount of credit for all the radness. It's never been a single person that makes America so enchanting - it's the whole package! Everybody has a role to play, and while all are important, one of our favorites = small businesses who manufacture domestically WITH FIERY PASSION! With extra excitement, we get to feature one of those fiery passion businesses in T minus 3... 2... 1... WHAT YOU'RE WINNING: We have 5 care packages this week featuring the hot lava pit of pure American love that is WOODCHUCK USA. Prizes include wooden notebooks, wooden flasks, and a distinct sense of flying naked on the back of an eagle over the Grand Canyon. Woodchuck's mission is simple: 1. Bring Nature back to people. 2. Bring Jobs back to America. 3. Bring Quality products back to consumers. BRING IT ON, AMERICA. (Each winner also gets their choice of Donkey Show or Donald Trunk Freakers + Freaker Feet! ) HOW TO ENTER: Get on Instagram and show us one thing you do that makes America great with the hashtag #FreakerChuck for your chance to win! (Politicians be damned - you got this!) Winners announced in our Tuesday newsletter!

The plot is thickening. The stakes are rising. The kitchen is on fire. Hide your children. The chaos is escalating. Quickly. LIZARD PEOPLE EVERYWHERE! We hope you're enjoying that special branch of horrifying fun reserved for an Election Year. We've made you some special treats to commemorate your journey and (hopefully) making it out alive. May the odds be ever in your favor.  Ladies and gentlemen, give a warm welcome to the newest members of our Freaker Feet family... Donald Trunk and the Donkey Show! 

  There is something so warming about the word "home" that it can be used as a precursor to an otherwise limp word. Home team. Home run. Home base. Home fry. Home skillet. It's comfortable, inviting, and also awesome. On cold winter days like today, home is the ultimate sweet spot. Today we come together to give home-turfs everywhere a digital standing ovation. Hip hip hooray! WHAT YOU'RE WINNING: We have 5 care packages this week featuring the undeniable radness of Oxford Pennant!! Inspired by American sports traditions, these guys make wool & cotton pennants with a distinctly modern twist on vintage feels. That new nostalgia, y'all. Oxford Pennants use natural stocks (no synthetics!) and manufacture 100% in the USA. Their designs range from cities and state pride to personal mantras and Americana folklore. Each winner gets a gift code for an Oxford Pennant & a pair of Freaker Feet of their choice! HOW TO ENTER: Get on Facebook, find this graphic, and let us know in the comments why your home turf is worth rooting for. Winners announced in our Tuesday newsletter!
