Boys and girls, listen up! Helloooooo.com is giving away two pairs of FREE tickets to Friday night’s Peaches/Butthole Surfers show at Granada Theater. How do you win ‘em? Just comment on this post by 1pm CST on 10/30/09 and winner will be chosen randomly. (Be sure to include your email!)

Earlier on Friday, Shok and the lovely ladies from FashionLeak will be completing their interview/shoot with Peaches’ designer, John Renaud. You may recall the magic that happened last time the gang met up…

This past weekend I was fortunate enough to tag along with the the girls from Austin-based Fashionleak. Each year, Fashion Leak seeks to select 12 independent designers to be featured online, highlighting their artistic vision and creative process. This month’s featured designer, John Renaud, is a graduate of Pratt Institute and got his roots in pattern making and technical design at Laura Moore Technical Services where he worked for clients such as Oscar De La Renta and Chesley Mclaren. He later worked with Christian Joy on her line and also on costumes for the ‘Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ and ‘Klaxons.’

Renaud also trained under designer Gary Graham and created pieces for electronica star Peaches and he continues creating costume pieces for her current tour. The interview at his amazing apartment in Dallas will continue October 30th when Peaches arrives in Dallas for a show at the Granada Theater.

Just got an email from Shok in Croatia with the following subject line: “helooo shok mate peaches pic from mayfair hotel its craig” Well, turns out Craig is one of the papparazzo that Shok made friends with in London and the chap was kind enough to send him a couple snaps of the ever-elusive Peaches Geldof. “Helloooooo.com: Spreading love around the globe!”

Peaches @ The Granada: Dallas,TX

Hoyotoho @ Ghostbar: Dallas,TX

Peaches came to town and literally “did” Dallas. Gilberto and I headed to the show this past Friday with dates in hand — only mine was a Sony HD camera. The show was pure insanity. After each act Peaches continued to outdo her last performance, and continued to engage the crowd more and more. The performance included a crazy laser show during one song, Peaches climbing up a stage light in another, and lastly her singing with a hologram female rapper. The best was definitely when she crowd-surfed back to the stage after a random strut down a drink table in the middle of the concert. All in all, a terrific and extremely creative set. Unfortunately, I lost my cell phone near the end of the show and had to stumble thru the masses and keep calling it until someone finally picked up. (A special thanks to the person who found it). Afterwards we hopped in a cab and headed to Ghostbar to catch Ian and Calvin from Hoyotoho spin a DJ set. I have to give it up to these guys because they can get any crowd started even if it is halfway made of “suits.”

On Wednesday, Gilberto will be headed to LA to catch the Lakers championship parade in Downtown and I will join him on Friday to continue the weekend long festivities. One word, six letters: R-E-P-E-A-T.

We will be there. And with Peaches performing earlier in the evening at Granada, the night promises to get weird. Good weird.
