Okay, folks... a little background first... The NOF's inspiration came from none other than the King of Freakiness himself... Frank Zappa!
Mr. Zappa wrote an excellent statement on the subject on the cover of his album 'Freak Out!' that sums up our feelings exactly:
On a personal level, Freaking Out is a process whereby an individual casts off outmoded and restricting standards of thinking, dress, and social etiquette in order to express CREATIVELY his relationship to his immediate environment and the social structure as a whole. Less perceptive individuals have referred to us who have chosen this way of thinking and FEELING as 'Freaks,' hence the term: Freaking Out.
On a collective level, when any number of 'Freaks' gather and express themselves creatively through music or dance, for example, it is generally referred to as a FREAK OUT. The participants, already emancipated from our national social slavery, dressed in their most inspired apparel, realize as a group whatever potential they possess for free expression.
This nicely sums up what the NOF is all about: FREE THOUGHT, FREE SPEECH, and FREE EXPRESSION, with a bit of warped humor thrown in for good measure. If you think any of this stuff has any redeeming value, we welcome you into our world!
If you don't, well, we really don't care anyway!
The NOF is run by its mysterious founder, FreakDaddy... no one really knows that much about him. That doesn't stop speculation from brooding, however. Don't be afraid though... he's really a nice guy.
Our goal at the NOF is to bring like-minded people and information together. This site gets updated whenever I feel like it... Any contributions, links, or comments about the NOF website are always welcome. Let's see how big this thing gets!
