JuggalUpdate

Why haven't we been blogging? Because we were at the muthafuqin GATHERING OF THE JUGGALOS!



Okay, we weren't really there. We were just joking, hope we didn't mislead anyone. Anyway, it's too bad we didn't go because it seems like the place to be if you're into underage and/or overweight women.

That was mean, actually. I feel bad I said that.

In actuality the worst part of being at the Gathering would be the dudes- they all seem to be that type of dude, a descendant of the hateful jock/frat boy of my youth who really loves metal and ends up at the Slayer concert, shirtless, screaming out requests for "Seasons in the Abyss" over and over again, right in your ear, then when they finally play it (as they were planning to, not because of his yelling) he goes nuts and starts a little mosh-pit with the people around him (you) and he's shirtless and possibly on PCP so you're accidentally getting to second base with him while he punches you in the face. Then the song ends, he yells "yeah!" (again, in your ear) then shakes your hand and give you a high-five as if you two had just been through some sort of combat together- and in a way YOU have, but not him, but he doesn't know. Then, when they start playing their next song, let's say "Captor of Sin," he offers you a joint, you turn it down, he looks up at the band, and yells out "Angel of Death!!!" (again, in your ear).

Anyway, imagine that guy described above but with shittier taste in music, and wearing clown make-up, in the woods, times several thousand.

Anyway, VideoGum posted the above video, they've got pictures and stuff too. Check it out. And from the looks of it, Andrew WK was nowhere in sight.

The Gathering of the Juggalos

Jesus Christ. Juggalos are fans of the Insane Clown Posse, so apparently they are people who have never heard good music- or even most bad music, since most music I would consider unlistenable is a million times better than anything to ever come from the Insane Clown Posse, Twiztid, Zwiggy Zwill, Squeezy G, etc. Anyway, these people gather together in the woods once a year (a week the rest of the world knows as "the week without Subway sandwich artists") and they do this...



So they're a "family" or whatever, which is sort of believable since there seems to be some inbreeding going on here, and I'll admit it seems positive and it would be kind of cool to see Gwar and Ice Cube- but keep in mind all of these people are going to leave their Mom's couch for a week and fly out to wherever this is and camp out in the woods to listen to the FUCKING INSANE CLOWN POSSE (it's like when Muslim's visit the holy land- their words, not mine).

Anyway, this has been going on for ten years, and last year "performance artist" Andrew WK went and represented. I'm not a fan of the guy's music, but I am a fan of the guy (note to self: Andrew WK-related post sometime soon) and so here's what he did when standing in front of a group of (apparently deaf) kids wearing clown make-up...



Keep in mind, the people booing Andrew WK, are the same people who had no problem sitting through a performance from Afro-Man... So, needless to say, if we have to pick sides in this argument, we're going with Andrew WK all the way- you're free to pick your own side, but... seriously?
