I mean, if you think this would be a "great time", it might interest you to learn that there are other festivals that are not filled entirely with juggalos.

I've been to lots of festivals, but The Gathering was the only one where:
  • A man set himself on fire and danced around then jumped in a lake
  • A helicopter dropped presents filled with prizes from the sky
  • Several trees were knocked over
  • Some guy got hit with a van driven by one of the performers. He was taken to the hospital. Later, I see him wearing his hospital gown and dancing. "THEY COULDNT HOLD ME"
  • Some fat guys in speedos came out of the dark woods and took turns jumping over our fire
  • Several wrestling matches broke out in the middle of no where for no reason at all
  • Violent J almost hit me with a golf cart
  • Bushwick Bill almost hit me with a golf cart
  • While waiting for a Q&A to start they asked if anyone had any talents. One girl got up was a fire breather and another guy crushed a glass bottle with his hand and cut himself up crazy bad
  • A bridge where you could buy any drug ever known to man
  • This all cost me less than a 100 bucks to see


Some guy dancing and signing every song

A two-headed dude

Fire-Breather girl
This was all back in 2003 and I was very "why the gently caress not" about it and it turned out more exciting than I could've imagined.

Hey guys I just spent 3 hours arguing in D&D and GBS over minimum wage and how the lower class are still humans and deserve to be treated fairly, what's that? Juggalos? Haha, let's laugh at the white trash!

yes, but almost always they'll have like 2 or 3 bands actually worth seeing and they're only playing for 15 minutes on a flatbed truck in the parking lot

and unless it's around somewhere like chicago with their ridiculous radius clause you can just go see the same bands on an off-night at a proper club for a tenth of the price. and they might actually make money from those shows

True. On the other hand, not juggalos.

The after show events seem to be more interesting than the actual band lineup.

juggalos are all about being yourself and just not judging others for being who they are, if your gay they dont give a poo poo. Hell even if youre black that's cool with them most of the time. I admire that.

the only difference between the average cannibal corpse fan and juggalos is juggalos actually go outside once in a while

Maybe it's all the drugs taking their toll but each year I feel a greater and greater urge to go to a gathering. It just seems like the craziest, most absurd and hosed up time possible. It definitely beats one of those concerts where people just stand around barely bobbing their heads, too self conscious to dance or mosh. At the very least, you WILL have a crazy story to tell your friends.

There is a part in this book where Violent J fights off a giant stick monster with the help of his dog.
He talks about getting stabbed and making GBS threads his pants. "It must've hit a poop nerve or something".
He also explains why he slapped Alanis Morissette on the rear end at Woodstock '99 while riding a scooter. He sums it up by saying "when am I going to have a chance to slap Alanis Morissette on the rear end while riding a scooter?"
Every few chapters Shaggy writes a a few pages explaining how to steal poo poo.

Have you guys seen what HED PE looks like? I only ever heard them when they were on the radio about a decade ago, did they look so stupid then too?

I wonder if they are going to have another OD death like they did last year (and probably what got them kicked out of Cave-In-Rock). Also, if the Drug Bridge if going to return or if private security actually had a drug policy this time (and everyone does what they do at any other music festival and keep it on the DL).

Thornville is a little town close to Newark OH, which is also a little town by most peoples standards. SE Ohio is the perfect place for the Gathering since it is filled with nothing but poor trailer trash of every race and creed. I live about 40 miles south of Thornville and will probably go since me, and my friends are always down for crazy rear end parties. This crowd could be peak Juggalo as far as a representation of their main fan base.
