Man, you can't be serious.
Freaknik wasn't a money maker by any stretch of the imagination. (except for the liquor stores and gas stations :lol: )
btw, the best ones were the earlier ones, before the police crackdown.

.....yea I"m wit'cha MH.
Before the locals, and locals from every other city around the country started coming. It was strictly college folks! My best freaknic was 89? 90?, when it was in Washington Park. They had a "Go-Go" band from DC playin and a DJ in the mix. Folks barbecuing, drankin, dancin, Greeks party hoppin,a lot of my A&M folks there, etc....it was a beautiful sight.
The tripped out part about Freaknic was; you never knew when(date) it was gone be, or where(park) it was gone be until like the last minute; like a week notice. Then you didnt find out which park until you got to Atlanta LOL.

When I went damn near every hotel in Atlanta was sold out... that is what I am speakin on.... mall were packed with people spending money..... The ATL economy made money that weekend. If you telling me the ATL economy didnt make any money, thats like you tellin me that Birmingham didnt make any money off Magic City Classic.... because Freaknik was 10 times larger than Magic City Classic.

MH, I went to one of what was considered the "first" ones in 89'. Back then only college peeps mostly were involved. Then, years later....the Snoop Dogs and Lil Kims of the world got involved and the rest is history. lol

Right, Freaknik 1994 was Classic. If you did not freaknik before 1994, you NEVER Freaknik'ed!! 1994 caused it to be shut down...it was great...it was fantastic. Of course, I lived in ATL from 1995 on and it HAD nothing on 1994 and previous.

Dahill,
Freaknik wasn't anywhere close to being Atl's biggest moneymaker outside of the Olympics. (and mind you, Atl has had Super Bowls, Final Fours, AllStar Games, and some of the largest conventions in the country). And while the hotels may have been full, that is the case when conventions are in town too. Heck, any decent size convention would pump way more money into the economy than freaknik. (be honest, who do you think gon spend more money---a convention/trade show attendee with a big arse expense account/per diems or some broke arse college students. And not to mention with Freaknik, the cost for overtime for the whole police force, the street cleanup, how the malls had to shut down early (on the weekends, no less), how the restaurants were all EMPTY cause the streets were jammed, the looting, etc).
sorry, but while Freaknik was all of that (thru my young eyes at the time :lol: ), Freaknik did not make big money for Atl.
And definitely not like you're suggesting.
If it had, you better believe that it never would have died.

You are so right. I was here hanging out in '90 before I enrolled in Jackson State in '91. Me and my boys rolled on Morris Brown's campus searchin for some college females and saw alot of people sitting in the grass with picnic baskets and blankets. I asked what was going on and they said that it was just spring break and some kids couldnt go home, so the students from the 4 schools who couldnt get home just got together to hang out.
Where all that strippin and gettin freaked in parks, parked cars, etc.... came from, I never know.

Yeah Frat, I am with you and MH about the older Freaknics. Me and my boy rolled down from Norfolk in 90 and 91 when we just got back from sea when I was in the Navy.....It was so wild I thought ole JR and Chris(my partner from Detroit) were going to be deemed unworthy of being Naval Officers. LOL.
Snake, I think we met some bruhs that year from A&T and Bethune Cookman.
One A&T bruh had a damn ferret with a small blue bandana on it. The thing was off the chain. It was trying to drank with us bruhs.
Man that was some fun back in the day. Also hung out with bruhs from Bama State who were from the ATL....Polk, Rick, Mike.....etc Just crazy isht.

LOL at the bruhs scaring you during your crab year. I can only imagine. They had some characters at Epsilon Violent.........err......I mean EG. :lol: I remember the bruhs having that house by ASU. The good ole days.
Yeah the ferret was popular from the mid 80s to early 90s I guess. My LB had one when we were at SU. That thing got loose and chewed through a mattress he had blocking a doorway and came into where we were having a party in his apartment. The ferret popped out and was like "suprise *****" All of us were like:retard: :lmao: , but the ladies who were there were like :scared: and we had to round him up before it bit somebody. The one the bruh had from A&T was mild and cool than a fan. He would lay in the back window of their car and just roll. The funniest part was when the bruh had him on his shoulder and we had been drinking pretty hard. Well the bruh was trying to find a place to relieve himself and was climbing a hill like area at Piedmont Park. I guess it had rained a little earlier and it was slippery. Dude was coming back towards us and slipped with the ferret on his shoulder and bust his arse....we thought he had fell on the thing. When frat got up the ferret bounced up from behind and just stood there and looked at him like WTF is your problem. That's when the ferret wanted to start drinking with us. LOL. I wish I had that isht on tape. :lol:

I don't know if anyone said it, because I stopped reading after page one, too many of the same people w/ comments...but
If you went to freak nic after 1994, then you didn't go to freak nic, you wnt to something else. The last great freak nic was 94, that was really the last year that it was still a majority college event, and not just an event. Same with BCR in Daytona. After 96, that thing went to hell in a handbasket too.
Freaknic 94, college freshman, 18 years old, one of the greatest times of my young life.....yessir!

Man, 94 was Freaknik at it's Apex. Hell BCR 94, was off the chain as well, or maybe it was just me, and my Mojo was working real good in 94, cuz just the week before in Daytona, I'd told my boyz, I didn't know if I wanted to go to Freaknik, cuz I didn't know if it would match Daytona, and boy was I wrong.
I met this cool lil broad from Albany State on my way to Underground while trying to find a place to watch the Holyfield, Michael Moorer fight, after we'd left the Omni looking at the Hawks/Pistons playoff game that Friday night. Then I ran into shorty again the next day at Piedmont Park, and then at a hotel lobby that night. I was so phugged up that I was there for this other chic from Cleveland, but the bird in the hand beats the 2 in the bush, and I figured we kept running into each other for a reason.
We went to shorty's room, and got heated, but I threw up on her, but being the NICE Guy that I WAS, I still came out a champion. I apologized (though she knew I was phugged up), cleaned myself up, rinsed the vomit off the sheets, and put them on her roommates bed, wiped off my Jordans, and when shorty got out of the shower, I tore her arse up.
Between the Everclear, weed, Olde English 800, and some KFC Rotisierre chicken, biscuits, and macaroni, and cheese, I had a nice mix in my system, but it's amazing how far an apology can go with a young college girl, when you tell her you got more weed in your pocket.
To make matters better, I still went by shorty from Cleveland's room, when I finished with Albany State. Oh what it was to be 22, young dumb, and fulla cu............94 was a good year.:swink: :nod:
Where was today's technology back then? I don't know how many chics I couldv'e roughed off if I wouldv'e had today's technology back then. The problem was I was phugged up meeting so many broads, that I couldn't place the names with the room numbers, and body types. I could've made out like Jesse James, had I had a picture phone to match the face with the name, and room number. Nothing worse than being high, and drunk trying to cipher through your pockets with all of these names, phone numbers, hotel numbers, and beeper numbers, and not remember who they were. Dayum, you young boys have it good today.
