... 'oh, why wont anyone think of the poor racist bitch fuckheads?!'  

gimme a break.  fuck em, the end.    

That's funny coming from the guy who gathered with a "KILL WHITEY" nametag on his chest.

@JC, Adam, @deathmetaljuggalo, Paulina, @scruffy, @bayareashaman, @sazarah, @noah-fence, @mitchellking, @split1open  - It was so cool to see you all again. You guys are the reason why I gather. I wish I could have gathered a bit harder than I did; it would have been wonderful to catch more shows. I think I watched less than 5 acts and I missed almost everything that I was excited for. But being with ya'll made it all better.

Shaman - Extra thanks for coming to find us at the Medic Tent with cold water. You're the shit.

@hypnotized-ninja, @chuckieboy, Maddie - It was a pleasure meeting you!

Tagging is getting glitchy, but to everyone that I've gathered with previously but didn't see this year - You were missed. <3

*  had it not been for occasional realtime maintenance, how much of that bridge do ya think would still be there?  

*  all things considered, if, for some crazy reason, the gathering was to be held there again...  i might go.  maybe.  

*  of course, i see no reason to even try to have the gathering there again.  

*  and speakin of that...  anybody who was at a legend valley gathering, please send a nice thank you letter to the cops there!  
no, im fuckin serious.  me, im plannin on sendin a flower arrangement and a fruit basket.  no bullshit.  
the legend valley cops were absurdly cool to juggalos.  not that i didnt realize it before, but after this bullshit, im much moreso.  i mean, fuck, the oklahoma cops busted their asses to cut off our fuckin water supply.  how fuckin scumbag is that?

I am legitimately shocked that the bridge survived. It defies all logic.

I reeeeally don't want to go back to OK. I hope that never happens again. Of course, we have already talked about going in on an RV rental if necessary.

I seriously love this idea and I agree wholeheartedly. I would sincerely like for the Gathering to go back to Legend Valley after dealing with this Oklahoma clusterfuck. Also, I live in Ohio and I might have other, more selfish reasons...

7. A dandypunk was fucking amazing and if you missed it, I dunno what to tell you.

10. Which won't be next year. Didn't tell many people but I've already got plans for next July for my mother's birthday which is usually the week of or week before the gathering. I'll miss everybody though.

12. It not being near Michigan meant Faygo was impossible to find before getting on the grounds.

17. Made new friends and that's always fantastic. I've said it before but if the missing link is whatever ties you to other people, mines art and juggalos. This was the first gathering I didn't cry at. Possibly because i sweat every ounce of moisture out of me possible but also because i was surrounded by fantastic homies. Love you guys.   

I'm so bummed about missing that! :(

I hope the timelines work out so that maybe you can do both things next year.

I actually found Faygo in OKC that I had never seen anywhere else! It was called "Jazzin' Blues Berry!" and it tastes like diabetes.

This was also the first time I didn't cry at the Gathering. I just didn't have any energy this year. Apparently, not even enough for tears.

Oh, and I'd like to add:

The Museum of Osteology in Oklahoma City is in my top 5 favorite things ever.

I agree with you guys about the fireworks being better this time. But JC's canopy still caught on fire from firework debris. I don't think I've heard of that happening before, which is crazy considering how bad the fireworks normally are.

Shangri-La isn't really for me, but I got to set off lanterns during Thy Unveiling. I hope that I helped make that moment beautiful for someone who digs that album. I'm sorry that they tricked you, I hope the lanterns eased the pain.

I was accosted waaaaay more this year than ever before. Every single time I was alone or with another female, some random dude(s) had something to say. I dunno what made people more aggressive with that this year. Of course, props to the funny ones and to the ones who knew when to stop.

We saw a dude with tattooed eyeballs. That was neat.

I managed to go the entire Gathering without going under the scary meth-dweller bridge to the parking lot. I was kind of looking forward to that jay walking fine just to have proof that those actually still happen. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone being fined for that in real life and I wanted the street cred.

This doesn't really mean much to anyone but me, but I successfully stayed vegetarian (I'm actually pescatarian but that just earns me a bunch of questions) for the entire Gathering. I thought for sure I would have to consume meat while I was there and I wasn't looking forward to that. Grilled veggies, rice and beans kept me alive.

3 years of successfully making it to the ICP seminar and surviving the trash fights! I saw some scary jagged metal cans getting thrown around and I'm glad those were taken out of rotation.

I acquired so many new enamel pins this year. I wish I had the talent to make and sell those things. That has to pay extremely well.

People can change, man. I have tattoos that I regret getting. What makes a swastika any different? Did you talk to the guy? Ask him about it? Try and reach out? I bet ya didn't.   

He could coverb it up but he doesn't.

I bad tat that one regrets and a white supremacist tat shown proudly are very very different things. 

When someone tells you they are racist, it's best to just take their word for it.
