DJ Alicia Falworth at Retropolis


Alicia Falworth listens with her heart and dances with her hips. She has a passion for discovering eclectic new music as well as the unique artists that influenced and created it. Djing, for her, is about finding a mood, swimming in it and towing the crowd behind in her wake. With our beautiful mermaid, walking the plank was never so much fun.

About Retropolis - Creator Tricia Farella tells the story depicted by this great build


Last Voyage of the "La Gata"
Alone at night in a raging storm, a old junk boat desperatly struggles to make port. Twenty foot high swells break over her bow. The skies overhead spit out an angry torrent, as the wind and waves toss the creaking, helpless ship back and forth.

Standing on the rolling deck, I held tightly to the main mast, praying for a end to this nightmare.
But the real nightmare was about to begin...

The air filled with a smell like dead things...and even the birds overhead ceased there senseless cries for a frozen moment...

Then, impossible to my horrified mind, from out of the black raging waters came a creature beyond our world or imaginings.

It's long, slimey tentecles reached over the gunwales...slid over the water soaked deck.. searching for it's prey.

I ran to the cabin and slammed the door. I could hear the monster ripping apart the main-mast.
Peering thru the window, I saw the beast, outlined in a flash of lightning.

Come face the beast yourself...if you dare.

Dress up for Applecross at Retropolis!


Let your imagination go wild - wear something nautical... wear your deep sea gear; dress like a 14th century Chinese trader or Marco Polo; wear your favorite rain slicker; or dress like a treasure hunter...argh!
