Freaky Launch Rocks Seattle
Hughes & DJ Nonni get their Freak faces on
When Haffi Haff cranked up the music and started singing at the Ice Town Launch last night, it was so loud I thought the windows at the Swedish Cultural Center would shatter. Which is okay because it would have distracted people from our pathetic attempt at filling the Three Crowns Room with a dry ice fog. Karen--from our Viking History discussion group--went to QFC and bought us a big block of dry ice (bless you, Karen.) But have you ever tried to cut a block of dry ice into smaller pieces? I found a dull steak knife and started hacking at it like Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct.
But when I added the chunks to small glasses of water, I got a
few minutes of moody fog, then nothing. Why couldn't I achieve
this continuous effect:

Fortunately, our raffle was a big hit.
DJ Nonni displayed each item. And Haffi Haff selected
and read the winning ticket numbers.
Items included:
a Viking t-shirt from Bjorn Bergvinsson
an Icelandic chocolate bar
an Icelandair baseball cap
a little bottle of Reyka vodka
a little bottle of Brennivín
a Haffi Haff FREAK cd
&
a flaming red headed troll doll possessed
by the spirit of an ancient Icelandic witch.

As the evening progressed, there was much dancing. And Haffi
even shared some new songs with us. So a big thank you to
Haffi, DJ Nonni, the Swedish Cultural Center, and all the honorary
FREAKS who joined us last night. You made it official.
Ice Town has lifted off.
