Today marks the launch of Wilmington's annual International Film Festival, Cucalorus! From now until Sunday, our little nesting-grounds will have thousands of newcomers, filmmakers, and fancypants wearing their partypants. There will be hundreds of Freakers floating around and our baby boxtruck is officially set up in the backyard of Cucalorus headquarters: Jengo's Playhouse!!

It's election day, which means that everybody is excitable about at least 1 government agency. Well. We found ours to pick on. We are in a bloody battle with the US Post Office. As far as we know so far, they have lost at least 11 packages in the past month, most of which were shipped on October 21st. We ship all packages within 24 hours of it's order! If you haven't received your LoveBox and it's been a little bit... please email us to let us know and we'll take care of you. With TLC. Like the girlband. (There are absolutely No Scrubs in our warehouse. BOOM.)

Tomorrow from 4-8, we'll have the boxtruck set up for Wilmington's 1st Truck a ROO! In less than 24 hours, it will officially be Saturday morning. What does this mean for you? Cereal! Cartoons! Cigars! Of course, we didn't have to tell you these things: it is innate knowledge. Here's what we do have to tell you: Wilmington's very first Truck A ROO is launching into space! With regional food trucks stationed downtown, nibbles will be plentiful. We're also setting up the Freaker Boxtruck as a musical stage so that you can wear that Jitterbug Perfume all day! Wallowing in the glory is free! You can also buy a ballot card for $10, which gets you all the edibles! And for the lushes (I'm looking at you. In the soul.) there will be local microbrews & mischief for all!

America's favorite Trickster's Retreat has snuck up on us again. From behind. With a mask of time-trickery and butter-knife. We didn't realize that Halloween was upon us until this fine young chap committed our new favorite act of Freakdom! The bolo, the weirdy smirk, the attention to man-cleavage: all of these details left us in a state of awe and adoration! The most special peculiarity lies in the fact that Zach Crain Jr. dyed Mister Pete Jr's ear to match his living counterpart. An exploding round of applause coming your way, Zach Crain Jr!

...Because I know for a fact that you have a stockpile of drinkables right about now. Hurricane Brandy! Being from North Carolina, we have a tainted love affair with hurricanes. It's that abusive relationship that induces candles, board games, and fine wine… you think everything is going so magically until it puts a tree through your roof. Keep reading for a fancy discount deal!

Justin Lacy's album release party at The Soapbox! Freaker Boxtruck in lounge-force! Doors at 8, music at 9! If you've ever put your party-pants on for our Freaker events, you've probably found yourself entranced by Justin Lacy & The Swimming Machine: a musical ensemble that we tend to exploit (with love!) simply because they create sounds so phenomenal that you can taste it. In your mouth. In your eyes. In your guts. As of tomorrow night, you no longer have to hunt them down in order to get that special soulgasm. Justin Lacy is having an album release party at the Soapbox. We will be setting up the Freaker Boxtruck outside as a sensory-overload rehabilitation-lounge for when your knees begin to tremble.

Tricksters! Retreaters! Take heed! Come hither! SpookMasterFlex is here!! Introducing: Black Betty! Only 250 have been made of this maiden (bam-ba-lam!) and the damn things gone wild (bam-ba-lam!> She's going to be creeping around on our website for one week only, and then meet her doom next Wednesday, October 31st. Getchu some of that special sauce, while supplies last! Happy Halloween, little spiders!

Do you ever find yourself on a treasure quest for odd pictures of yourself on the internet? It's okay - you're human! And we live in an age of robots! Robots to remind us that humans have more fun than non-humans! That's why we're here (acting as both humans and robots! Analyse that one, physics.) Some of the fancypants pictures from Friday night's viewing party can be seen on our Facebook page! Go forth, homosapiens! To the Book of Faces!

For those of you who weren't able to tune in Friday night to our segment of ABC's Shark Thank, there is hope yet! Both ABC and Hulu have released the episode steaming online for all the world to see! ALSO! Fun detail: It has been confirmed that Friday night's chapter was the highest rated episode in Shark Tank's history! Hip hip HOORAY!

This is Lauren Krakauskas. She sat in an empty bathtub until 6 am on Friday night writing emails and screaming absurdities. Welcome to the circus, little doves. We here at The Freakerteam have been channeling busy/buzzing/bubbling bumblebees lately. Here is a comprehensive list of some of the things that we have accomplished. (Photos to prove that all of the rumors are true.)

Dear Diary, As you know, Saturdays are usually pretty sad for me. Often times I sit looking out my window, longing for the aqua and orange walls of the Freaker USA headquarters. The rest of my weekend usually drags on until I wake up with a smile Monday morning and drive to work… This weekend was different! In light of recent events. I got to hang out with my Freaker friends all day! This is the story of eight best friends, and the most perfect day there ever was. First, we all got to sit around and watch replays of a certain show on ABC.

  TV Guide has released a video compilation that has a preview of our appearance of Shark Tank tomorrow! Ever so eloquently titled "Which Inventions Leave the Shark Tank Judges Laughing Uncontrollably," you can get a peak of the absurdity named Zach Crain at the :44 mark!
