Event - Geeks & Freaks (2026)

Okay-okay. It might be a last minute announcement, but #theRed360 will be present at Geeks & Freaks II in Maastricht (31st of January + 1st of Februay)

And YES, a spin on #theRED360 of Deep Red Noise vzw will be FREE/GRATIS/GRATUIT thanks to the fair organizers. So come visit our tiny corner of the MECC in Maastricht, and if the booth has enough room, I - Red Cathedral - might even make some cosplay portraits again.

If you can & want to donate 1€ for your 360°-spin, that money will be used to help local stray cats. Last edition's donations helped with food, a castration, treating a hurt paw and finding a kitten a safe home.. and bonus: one stray entered my bedroom on a tuesday and simply decided to become a house cat. The following day was a Wednesday so I named him: W..W.. Whisky! (Nobody should name a cat after an Addams-family member..)

Since this is a placeholder for the event, give me a few days after the event to gather my thoughts about this edition and then I'll do the "⧍▼" at the very end of this page.

Our booth will be HERE (in the opposite corner from the entrance) 

Meanwhile you can stay updated about my progress on the stills:

▷ All photos can always be found on/downloaded from my Flickr and here in this Album!
▷ A "How to download stills from Flickr" tutorial was posted here.
▷ Some highlights might go to Instagram, Threads or Bluesky.
▷ A video might go to Clapper & to Tiktok
▷ Buy Red Cathedral a whisky on Ko-Fi
▷ Updates are on THE Facebook.
▷ Give a follow to this young creative foundation: Deep Red Noise vzw/asbl 

Or rather: give a follow & like everywhere.

 Update: 40% of all stills have been edited & uploaded

What's the strategy for processing the stills of the weekend, you might ask while waiting for your pictures? Because, yes there actually is a strategy. Since there will be between 1 and 3 pictures per person, I try to finish & upload at least 1 image of (almost) everyone as the prime objective. Often I'll choose which shots go 1st because I have an idea for a title. That must the bane of a creative mind. You can follow the status of uploading in the "Update" underneath the gallery, and on FB.
