I don’t know if this has been done before but I didn’t see it.
For me it was 2014, I thought the line up was PERFECT.
I already had a couple under my belt so I knew how to prepare.
Had a good woman with me, lots of money (even tho I actually spent the least at the one I took the most to).
Only bad part was I got some rolls that had 2CI in them that they didn’t tell me about and after I finished fucking started having a bad trip and locked the keys in the car, spent the next morning jimmying the door. haha
Still a great gathering for me.
Favorite gathering ICP performance was 2012. 2 hours of fucking epicness.

I could never really choose a favorite, more like top 5 or something lol, but the first year we were at hogrock was awesome. (especially contrasting it to the year before, which was the year of the mud lol). Last year was dope. I don’t keep track of actual years so it’s hard to say which year was which, since a majority of my gathering experiences have been at cave in rock, they kinda run together. The gathering that they announced we were suing the FBI was fresh though. I guess my gathering experiences rely a lot more on just personal experience and not really on who the line up was. I don’t even remember who played at what year. I especially like seeing cool comedians though and there’s usually just one of those who I know/really liked so it’s easier to remember what years those were.
Somehow I never noticed that 2012 had a two hour ICP show lol.

very hard to choose a favorite. I attended frok 2000-2004, with different folks and many novels worth of stories. There were beautiful moments that make a muhfucka say “whoaaaa”, there were chill n mundane moments, tired times, elating events and shows, and unfortunately a few stale times.
I would say personally 2002 in Peoria was a favorite, because of the people attending and the DXM taken during the final.night that made things almost unbearably crazy. What a ride… the first year because I got to meet ICP and chat and get photos with them. Toledo was cool at times but nothing too memorable happened. I was also completely sober that year. And met Choko, lol…
the first time at Nelson Ledges in 2003 was fucking GREAT. The next year was our last, we had great times but a couple stale things happened.
So, my favorites would be:
2003 – Ohio for the first camping GOTJ experience and all that followed it
2002 – Peoria Illinois for the craziness of what we experienced
2001 – Toledo Ohio for the STELLAR Twiztid and first ever Dark Lotus shows
2004 – Garretsville Ohio for the awesomeness in general but some memories of my brother there make me sad and we had to shuttle bus a lot, missing parts of shows.
2000 – it was great because all three of us brothers attended along with three gals, but it was so long ago and there were limited things to do after a point besides just chill with the fam. Great concerts though.

creature comforts… i remember after the final show being flip with the riot squad that were stationed out in the parking lot after the hoopla from the previous night… a few of them didnt like my jokes anymore and slowly advanced with batons and shields… i said “okay im done” and hopped in the car and was out of there.

It’s funny that i’ve never heard anyone say much positive about 2006. Was the mud really that bad?
It was downright awful.. Some ninjas even turned around and left.. if you were one of the few to have a dry camping area you were lucky.. I was stuck in the swamp of shit and was forced into a hotel after the first day.. The shitty grounds made for shitty attitudes and all around bad vibes from juggalos all over the grounds.. couldn’t even enjoy the shows because after they were done you were covered head to toe in shit.. No camaraderie that year what so ever

Damn. In 2011 it rained the first (or second? Whichever tech played) really hard and turned the whole stage field into a pit of mud. I was so fucked up I kept falling in it and just laughing. It dried up the next day tho.

no. no Lockn this year. whatch ya know bout Wakarusa tho?
I know it’s $209 + tax & fees for just the 4 day event and that does not include a camping pass. Camping pass is another $219.
With events like Morning Yoga (Every morning join Alice Steuerwald in a daily “Body’s Journey”), Drum Circle (Equipped with a few hundred drums and noise makers for festival goers), Build-a-Drum (Astral Gypsies will teach you how to build your free drum head), Dance Play Move Hoop (Incorporation of expression paired with hoop and body movement, playfulness, improv, foundational and skill based hoop movements will be taught and shared), Dress Up and Play (Become a part of the roaming performance troupes with the daily dress up themes – Animal Escape, Circus Soiree, Interactive Kaleidoscope, Magic Mayhem), Build your own Choreo (By portraying various emotions along with the same movements, the student(s) can better understand the importance of emotion and how it can affect you and your partner(s) dance), Acro Yoga (Come learn with ReCreation circus), Silks, Poi & Skill Share (An introduction to the exciting art of aerial silks, poi skill share. All are welcome), Solar Talking (Learn about solar power. Basic solar information and skills), Spirit Guide Meditation (guided meditation and channeling session).
It’s way to “hippyish” for me.
At least they have a carnival ride – a Ferris Wheel ($5 a ride)

2008 was my favourite that I went to because it was my first one. There wasn’t that many people and they recorded A Family Underground at that one. Plus they gave away The Shining CD at the ICP seminar which was a huge surprise! There were so many great people who got what our culture was all about.
2009 was the 10th Annual and was the second one I went to and the line up was amazing being the 10th one they pulled out all the freshness they could at the time. But there were a lot of people there that weren’t Juggalos and that came with a lot more drama. People had seen A Family Underground and wanted to check out the madness. I still had an amazing time, but it did suck there were so many people there that didn’t have any respect for our culture.

I think it’s interesting alot of people are saying their first year. My first year I was highly under prepared, over whelmed, and over intoxicated the whole time haha. Not that I had a bad time at all, however I’ve enjoyed them more with every year as every year I prepare a little more so that I can enjoy what’s there a little more.

my first year was the first one, in novi, which is hands down the worst gathering i been to. bein the first, there really wasnt much to do, cept stand around kick it until the concerts started.
however I’ve enjoyed them more with every year as every year I prepare a little more so that I can enjoy what’s there a little more.
every year, i prepare a little less. i know now what minimums i can get by with, so preparation is pretty much just throwin the bag in the car. and stockin the cooler.
lotta ninjas overprepare for gatherings. me, i can hack out five days in sheer destitution. if i gotta.
awfully paranoid, arent you?
@scruffy I over prepared in 2014. I also brought 1,100 dollars to blow that year and only spent probably 150.. Felt I had it just right this year. It’s little things now like buying stuff on ebay to bring to sell, it’s mostly for camaraderie, get people to come chill and whatnot. Gotta have the megaphone and lots of batteries hahaha
