It lasted until at least '96 or '97, I was working at CAU in '96 and only two of us showed up to work the Friday it started, and I had to give the other one a ride back to his car because MARTA stopped running to campus by noon.

I know it lasted longer than 96' because a friend of mine had a shirt that said "No sand no beaches just sweet African peaches, Freaknik 96'." I was planning on going to the braves game this weekend with my wife and daughter but looks like I will be hanging out in the Dallas area.

'98 or so was the last one I think.
We used to go sit at the Fellini's on Ponce and watch all the people cruising by hanging out of their cars. I remember trying to drive up 85 and several of the right most lanes being parking lots with people standing around dancing and drinking on the interstate. Was not sorry to see it go. Not really thrilled to see it back.

1999 was the last year for freaknik i remember because i was working in the body shop at john bleakley ford in Lithia Springs and we had to repair damage to a guys truck that had been pretty badly damaged in some kind of accident during freaknik, his truck was there the year before that to. The time i had to repair the truck it got a new bed and put on the frame rack for some readjustments, the year before it got the front left fender, bumper and a few other things replaced. |

All the same, Ill probably still walk around the apartment with the flak jacket on and .45 at my hip. ETA: In case anybody was confused, the flak jacket and .45 have nothing to do with freaknik. It was going to happen anyway, freaknik or not.

I don't think we'll stick out that bad, the truck does have 20's, and with those new dance moves you were talkin about that you learned off youtube, we'll blend in great, and there's always room for a grill, but we are deff. splitting the cost of all the hookers and blow. |

Quoted: A clearly distraught attendee on the news this morning: "this ain't freaknik it's copnik" LOL!  On V103 they had two "originators" of Freaknik on talking about it. It became apparent quite quickly that they had no knowledge of the history of Freaknik, its past presence, were in their early 20's and didn't create anything, were very ignorant, and just wanted to party after having seen this cartoon so started the promotions. They argued with each other over the radio about why Freaknik, and why the name, and why the event before the DJ finally said "Look....neither of ya'll knows anything."
