@ScottieD ive been informed by SPOOKYtheFUNGI that freshness points are valued at 1.0. Staleness points are a 1.2. Still leaving you with a negative .8… Maybe coming directly from the red hatchet man their valued differently. We may need another thread for Spooky to explain this. I was in the same boat and had to ask. 

(Crickets)

@spookythefungi your post is dope. Meeting all you ninjas means a lot to me, you all are awesome. I really wish I could have stayed longer, but I’m so glad that I made it to the march! I actually thought I was missing it because I got lost af in DC, but thanks to psy time things turned out perfectly with that. And thanks to @noah-fence actually knowing where I was supposed to be going:) I had been in my home state dealing with family emergency stuff, so it wasn’t until the very last minute that I realized I could go to the march after all, and I just got in my car and drove without planning literally anything. I never do things like that, I usually over-analyze things for months, so that was weird for me lol. 

I never saw ocj though soo not sure what you’re thinking of lol…chilled with @mitchellking for a minute though 

@chuckieboy your girl seemed sweet af, you should get her to chill with us! I know it seems weird like she’s the only one who doesn’t know everyone, but you should tell her that we wanna kick it with her! Also did you ever see the signs @deathmetaljuggalo made for us? Lol he and P texted me back after I showed them your sign but I never got a chance to show you I don’t think 

MCL ninjas!

Juggalo March on Washington 9-16-17……

I started out my adventure aboard the amtrak. I live in CT. I took the 1:30am (Sat) train to arrive in DC by 6:30. Figured I’d sleep on the train. It was pretty comfortable… I barely got any sleep, but I didn’t care much, just couldn’t wait to get there! I still wasn’t sure what to expect at the march. As we rolled into union station, people are getting up and standing near the doors to exit. I over heard this guy saying how he’s a photographer and he heard there’s going to be a huge fight @ the Lincoln memorial today…and mentioned ICP. I was thinking how un-informed he was about the whole thing. Why we were going there in the first place. Basically missing the whole point, all this based solely on what he heard. It was interesting to over hear a random persons perspective, tho. I was looking forward to getting off the train to find a morning cup of coffee. I had lotsa time to kill. Union station is so ornate, reminds me of Grand Central in NY. I’ve been to DC before with my Dad to see the museums, but I have never been to any protest/march type event before. Politics really don’t interest me. I find a coffee shop and sat down for a while cause it was still super early and knew I had miles and miles of walking ahead of me. I love going on adventures! That’s one of my favorite things about ICP. It gets me going to places I wouldn’t usually ever go to. Like driving out to Ohio or OKC for the gathering or saying fuck it and go to St. Pete for the weekend, and why else would I ever visit Mount Clemens? The Dark Carnival will take your soul away, and give you mystical adventure in a magical way… I get on the metro, It was a nice walk from the station stop to the Lincoln. When I was getting ready to leave my house, I knew I had to pack only what I could carry around with me all day. I shoved everything I needed in my backpack. When I got closer to the memorial, I crossed the street and sat under a group of trees for a while. Still sippin on coffee n smokin a lil weed. I remember how hot it was that day. About 85* and of course I’m wearing all black tactical gear. But compared to what we experienced @ the gathering this summer, the weather was perfect! Glad it didn’t rain. There were so many tour buses at the entrance to the Lincoln. People visiting from all over the world I’m sure. It was prob only 9:30am by this time. I walked down to the reflecting pool and couldn’t believe it (already!) The stage was being set up and the truck was being un loaded. There were 2 juggalos sitting on the steps. One said he was from SC, arrived last night and just slept here. The other was from New Orleans. I could feel the magic and positivity already. It was so cool to see the event start from scratch. Watching the stage get set up, all the black equipment cases with hatchetman painted on them, wires and speakers goin everywhere. That’s me, tho. I always want to see how stuff is made, the inner workings, see an idea unfold and being brought to life. When I saw the huge ICP stage letters getting their light bulbs screwed into them, it assured me this was no joke, it was really goin down today!! So many greats have stood in this same very spot. It was so surreal. I felt like I was on a set to a movie, to where it was just a backdrop but instead it was real… It’s always nice to see familiar faces, people in red staff shirts help gettin the day started. Went up to say Hi, chat for a bit, then chilled on the lawn under a tree just to take a minute and soak it all in. Sit back and eat some of the munchies I had in my bag. The reflecting pool is gorgeous! My smile grew brighter with every juggalo I saw walkin down the steps tword the stage. I knew I was in for a treat, it was already truly one of the best days of my life and nothing even got started yet! Just seeing it unfold was good enough at that point! 

I ran into so many people I knew… and met even more that I didn’t know (yet) See, that’s how I feel about juggalos. You are people I’d be friends with already, you remind me of someone I know or someone from back in the day, you seem so familiar to me I swear we’ve met before…it’s that common bond, that love for the dark carnival and that love we have for each other. It was a great vibe there! It’s good seeing families with little Jugga babies and their faces painted. So adoreable! Many were dressed up! Reading all the clever signs everyone made…I love how creative juggalos are! I had no concept of time what so ever. It kinda felt like we were all kids who skipped school for the day and had a secret meet up place or something. I put in my day off from work months ago. Fuck that… I remember going to buy a water and ended up talking to this kid from DC. He came there with 2 friends. He told me he had no idea who or what ICP is about but was compelled to come check it out anyway. It was fun running into him through out the rest of the day, he was in amazement later telling me how fuckin awesome this whole thing is and how he can see himself gettin totally into it. I completely understand that! At some point I introduced myself to @Spookythefungi I read a lot of your posts on here and must of seen a pic cause I know who you are. It’s nice to finally meet you in person. Yes, agreed, I do wish we hung out more as well. I truly appreciate all the love you have for me and know I have the same love for you…that magical, common bond we share. I saw a few FLH jerseys. To those of you I didn’t say Hi to , I wish I woulda talked to you and introduced myself, but time gets away from me so fast…esp with everything going on all around! On stage I was listening to the speeches and the testimonies. Discrimination still exists in this world, I’m sure it always will. But to be fired from your job, related to the type of music you like is ridiculous! When I read the testimonials written by those people on the march website, that was one thing. It felt so much different hearing it straight outta their mouths, in person. Let alone up on stage in such a historic place! It was awesome seeing @scottieD reading your speech with such passion. You always keep calm and have such good composure while interviewing or public speaking. Props and much much love to you for all that you do! After ICP came out and did their speech we were ready for the march itself. Leave it to J “taking away somebody’s opinion, is no different than sewing their butthole shut!” Again, very surreal! 

Psy started the march. Everyone began to follow… Couldn’t believe how looooong the line was. I loved seeing the looks on the civilians faces! It was priceless. Like WTF? It was a trip walking from the Lincoln mem, around the Washington mem, and back to the stage. It was fun AF!!! I met up with @chuckieboy during the march. It was great seeing you again! So glad I ran into you and it was nice to meet your wife. Will see you on our next adventure and def spend more time!! Again, it was like a backdrop to a movie… juggalos marching in the streets blasting Jeckle Bros. while chanting “Fuck the world” as loud as possible…Classic! Sometimes I would turn around and march backwards, so I could see all the people coming twords me …lol… gives you a much different perspective. I kept my pace with different people through out the march. I saw someone I had met earlier. I love how thoughtful and generous juggalos can be. He saw a guy selling shirts and bought me one. Sweeet! Much appreciated! I love it when shit like that happens. Makes up for the time I bought this girl pizza @ the gathering… Karma! I ended up marching right behind little Ruby Bruce and her mom. Seeing her with a big smile, her bright red hair and pig tails made my heart melt. Awwww… It was so fun! I was glad to get back to our spot, tho. I really needed water and a place to sit the fuck down. So I sat on the stairs by the stage and that’s when I ran into @JC It’s always nice to see you! Your smile is truly infectious! I am so glad I met up with you. I know you didn’t have much time to stay… We will def see each other again… Also @laptop I had no idea we even met! How cool is that?! I guess we were chillin together when spooky saw us… I’m not sure who you are… we will def try to meet next time… @carnivalkilla44 We missed running into each other. We should def meet up especially since were both in CT. Next time, I’m sure! I can’t say I watched all of every act who performed. I was too all over the place. It’s hard for me to sit still! The psy artists got to do a few songs each. The show was great!!! I Don’t know how the day went by so fast.. U never know who your going to meet. Just from being in a certain place at a certain time. If it’s standing on the steps, getting something to drink, chillin by the stage, sitting on the grassy knoll… I think of it as random adventuring. That’s how I’ve met some of the most unique Juggalos! (One of my best friends I met while waiting in line!) At some point it started getting dark out. I was feeling a bit tired and ICP didn’t even come out yet! It was incredible seeing them perform right there on the national mall, itself. I’m glad everything turned out the way it did. I’d much rather of seen the show there then the original plan of us leaving DC to go to the jiffy lube (lol) ample theater for a concert. This was much more of an intimate setting… it was perfect! During ICP I wanted to stand farther back to get pics of the stage with the Lincoln memorial all lit up at night. It was beautiful! The clowns, the faygo, Just being in that moment of awe…I loved it, every fuckin thing about it! After ICP was over I was happy to see juggalos walking around with garbage bags, picking up trash, they were so kind as to even pick up cigarette butts. I knew this time of night would be here eventually. I didn’t want it to end, like all good times must do. When I got there in the morning, I told myself that I would save walking to the top of the Lincoln memorial for the very end. That’s how I would know it was truly over. To see the banners and the stage letters start to come down was interesting cause I watched them set it up hours ago, which by now felt like an eternity ago… I still had no sense of time! I was even more exhausted by now. With a heavy heart, I walked up the stairs to the top of the monument regardless. The view is so beautiful! Eventually making my way back down and out tword the front to call for a ride. I stayed overnight in this swanky hotel. I’m not used to crisp white linens and plush fluffy white towels…. at all! It was a treat… and why not? When will I ever get to do this again? Never…. I checked out, got my morning coffee and headed back to Union Station. I was having an overwhelming feeling to be honest. It was rough. It felt like I came down from the best drug trip! I’m sure a lot of you have felt that feeling… Knowing it’s over and having to come back to reality. I’m still feeling high from this experience and it’s been 2 weeks ago by now! Another thing…I had a hard time getting used to all these reporters and cameras everywhere I turned. I keep myself low pro. I’m not the type of person to post selfies, I don’t do much social media, I barely say SHIT on flhf as it is! I had no idea how we would be portrayed in the media… It was pretty cool finding pics and watching videos over the next few days, now into weeks. Reading lotsa articles like how only a couple hundred showed up to the Trump support rally while a couple thousand showed up for the Juggalo march… don’t know exact #’s or anything…While waiting at Union Station, I realized my train was coming in on track 17 and it was on Sept. 17th.

While on the train, this guy sitting next to me, noticed my hatchetman charm and was asking me about the march n shit. He was from Germany and said how the group he was with randomly walked thru the march. He was very interested in ICP and the whole cause of the march and found Juggalos absolutely fascinating… yep, I’m with that guy. ICP & Juggalos have truly changed my life. Seriously, no doctors with any of their medications has ever been able to get me at a level like this before. I can’t imagine myself without it. I fuckin LOVE you!!! And for the ones who couldn’t attend the march, you were definitely there with me in spirit, heart n soul! Still on the train, day dreamin for the rest of the ride. Finally made it home..Lotsa fun memories were made that day! Many different emotions went thru me. I met so many amazing people that I can’t wait to hang out with again! Thanks Psychopathic!!! Thanks Spooky for mentioning me in this thread…if u didn’t I may not of ever written any of this. Two words to sum up the march: FUCKIN’ EPIC

  

Man, reading that makes me regret not going. It sounds like it worked out perfectly. Seeing all the streams of it made it come off like it was working out way better than anyone imagined it would but that summation was detailed as fuck. Painted it in my head with a little more detail than how it was in my head. 

I’m glad ya’ll held it down at the March, for real. 

My pessimism about the whole thing keeps getting shut the fuck down by all the reports I’m hearing/seeing about it. Which is the shit.
