Friday the 13th
According to Wikipedia…
The fear of Friday the 13th is called friggatriskaidekaphobia, frigga, meaning “Friday” and triskaidekaphobia, or paraskevidekatriaphobia, a word derived from the concatenation of the Greek words Paraskeví (Παρασκευή, meaning “Friday”), and dekatreís (δεκατρείς, meaning “thirteen”), attached to phobía (φοβία, from phóbos, φόβος, meaning “fear”). The word was derived in 1911 and first appeared in a mainstream source in 1953.

Ships in the night
Never ones to invent an excuse for a party, March 2010 sees the Geek’s celebrate their fourth birthday as DJ partners, Remixers and All-Star Buckaroo champions (2007 – Bournemouth West League 2). Their original plans for an evening of Stock Car Racing were sadly curtailed when Lee Geek remembered he can’t drive. So instead join them as once again they take over Sixty Million Postcards with a fistful of tunes, some matching headphones and an unrivalled sense of timing. Entry is free, but dancing is compulsory.

2010: Geek Chic Soundsystem
Since the introduction of Sixty Million Postcards ace new Indie Saturday nighter ‘No Fun’ we (Ian and Lee) have made a small sideways step. Now we play our patented formula of ‘electropunkfunkdiscopop for people who should know better’ on a Friday instead. And we have been having a blast.
For those of you that have not popped their heads into Bournemouth’s best loved boozer for a while, you may be in for a surprise. Sometime in December a man with a van and some screwdrivers arrived and left behind some spanking new Funktion One speakers by the dancefloor. So now all those shiny new records sound even shinier and even newer and all the more likely to make you join the dancing masses.
So come down, have a cider with us and shake away those February blues…
Rockin,
lee:geek
