The Case of the Missing Unicorn By Christoper Herbeck Those familiar with the New Orleans and Baton Rouge House/Dubstep dance scene may already be familiar with the unusual case of the missing unicorn, but for those who aren't, here's the scoop. At a nightclub nearby, it is likely that you might have witnessed a stuffed plush unicorn getting molested on the dance floor. Incidentally, a few months ago this unicornwent missing much to the dismay of its keeper, Unicorn Fukr. No Def correspondent, Chris Herbeck, goes deep in the underground to interview Baton Rouge based DJ, Unicorn Fukr about his missing creature. Get the Scoop> Chris Herbeck: Where and when was the last time you saw the unicorn? Unicorn Fukr: I was playing a gig at The Maison with Lazer Sword, Mux Mool and Gladkill on Frenchmen St on March 19th. The unicorn was brought to all CH: Is the unicorn a male or female? UF: Not really sure... it has a hole and a horn. CH: Are there are leads on who could’ve taken him/her? UF: We believe it was a audience member which consisted primarily of CH: How and when did you acquire the unicorn? UF: It was given to me at another gig about a year and a half ago by a CH: Did the unicorn come before or after your DJ name, Unicorn Fukr? UF: The unicorn was given to me because my DJ name is Unicorn Fukr... so CH: At what point will you give up searching for the unicorn? UF: Our plan right now is to keep up the search for one year. If the CH: Can’t you just replace the unicorn with another one? UF: Maybe one day... but this unicorn has travelled all around the Gulf Coast with me to gigs and has become quite the popular party phenomenon in the electronic dance music community. There are so many pictures that will prevent people from ever running for public office because of this unicorn. You can't just replace a unicorn like that that was loved by so many. CH: If you would like like to make a public plea to the person responsible UF: First, I fully understand your reasons behind kidnapping the unicorn. Second, do you have any idea how gross that thing is? Do you know how many Third, what the hell you freaking thief!? Give me back my damn unicorn and More information about the Unicorn can be found here. Unicornfukr will be playing, sans unicorn Sunday, May 16  ’)
