SLAMFEST SEATTLE REVIEW
We came into town on Sunday because this was Hopes first visit to Seattle even though we only live about 3hrs away. We decided to do some touristy shit while in town with the extra time but that's a story for another time if anyone even cares to read it. This thread is about the concert so ill just focus on that.
We showed up at the venue and found parking down the road a bit and headed for the entrance. There was a big sign on the door that said NO RE-ENTRY. Usually pretty typical for a venue that also offers a smoking area so I asked the guard chick at the door if there was a smoking area. She replied "what do you mean smoking area? That's been illegal for years" So I said "You know, somewhere to have a cigarette" (fuckin' snippy bitch) Nope, no kind of smoking area and no re-entry so now we have to go a good 5 or so hours without a smoke. (non-smokers may not understand but we smokers enjoy them cigarettes and they can especially help to kill time while waiting for the opening acts to get done) So big bone on that end but not really the end of the world.
We got inside and kinda quick scanned the merch area. (Still no tour CD that was promised) It was kinda packed so we walked around for a minute and I remembered that there was a balcony area with a bar upstairs so we headed towards the stairs and there was a security guard at the bottom checking ID and putting on wristbands so got got our shit checked and this guy seriously took about 30 seconds to put my bracelet on. It's really not that fucking hard dude. So we went upstairs and were greeted at the bar with a chain set up kinda like a do not cross rope with a piece of paper that read "sorry bar closed". What.......the.......FUCK!!!! We were thinking that maybe they were waiting til a certain time to open it so people didn't drink too much or something but no. That bitch stayed closed all fuckin' night. So now we have to sit through some bullshit ass bands we don't give a shit about sober and with no smoke break.
With all the bullshit going on we just took a seat on some couch thing off to the side and could kinda see over the balcony but I mainly just watched a TV they had setup in the corner that was showing a feed of a camera facing the stage. Good enough for the openers. There was some no-name band playing when we showed up and played for a bit after we decided to just sit and chill. They were nothing special, just another wannabe "rock" band like the others.
Next up was lil toenail. he came out in his costume and shit and it was kinda entertaining for about a song or so, then his DJ started fucking it all up. He had all of like 2 samples on his setup that he overused the fuck out of. First up was that 4 time air horn thing that's been played the fuck out for many years at this point and the other was a more high pitched "lil toenail bitch". He then proceeded to use them both about every 5 seconds or so. Every break in between songs went the exact same way. Ex.( beew beew beew beeeeeeeewwwww. I'm lil toenail. lil toenail bitch. I'm gonna kick another song right quick. lil toenail bitch. This ones about saying fuck you to some ex bitch. beew beew beew beeeeeeeewwwww. Put your middle fingers up to this one to say fuck you as well. lil toenail bitch.) And that was pretty much it. He did a few songs and the DJ just kept throwing those 2 samples out over and over. Probably would have enjoyed it more if I could have just heard the dude rapping.
Next up was cage I believe and he just kinda did his rap thing. Wasn't really feeling his shit but some people seemed to. In between each and every song he always asked "You guys ready for ICP? You guys ready for Attilla?". It's one thing for an opener to ask that to hype the crowd up, but between every single fuckin' song? Way too much. One thing I thought was funny was he went to take off his jacket early in the set and just left it hanging off one arm for the rest of the song then dropped it. But then a few songs later he decided to put it back on but just on the one arm again and just had it kinda half draped on for the rest of his set. Odd but worth mentioning cuz it gave me a small chuckle.
Sylar was next and I could really give a shit less about these "metalcore" bands on this tour so we just kept sitting around bored as fuck wishing we had a beer or at least a fucking smoke break. We just kinda people watched as more and more ninjas would come upstairs and look at the bar closed sign and be like "noooooooooooooo". The band kept telling the crowd to get on stage and stage dive and shit but only about 3 ninjas did which I found amusing. Before the last song the guitarist decided to just strum a somewhat high pitched note and just held it for like 2 minutes straight while the singer was talking. It was FUCKING ANNOYING! I work with trains and have to stand next to them often as they screech by and that's what it reminded me of except it was consistent! Band sucked, moving on.
Next was Attilla. There was no ouija or lyte but considering how long we had already been sitting around bored as fuck if they had been there it would have been much longer before our after show cigarette could take place. But for the record I would have preferred seeing them over the majority of the openers. Attilla was pretty much the same shit as the previous band. Not my style at all. A few ninjas were definitely feeling them but we just kept sitting around doing our thing waiting for ICP. Not really much else to say.
Towards the end of their set we decided to go hit up the merch booth. They had a decent selection of vinyl so we had to stick with those with our money. I asked how much the vinyls were and the guy said they were all $25. I was kinda surprised because they had the XXX Tunnel of Love which was $50 last tour, and the Missing Link double pack which I've seen on the official merch site for like $35 or $40 plus shipping. So we got a pretty decent deal and scooped both of those up as well as Death Pop. Not too shabby.
There was a really long break before ICP. We found a spot more in the back that had a good view to take in the intro. That intro was definitely one of the best I've seen. Same with the stage setup. I was getting kinda worried because the last few tours that have came through around here have basically just been a banner with some faygo buckets on stage. I missed the days of tours with crazy elaborate and creative stage setups and on stage antics but it looks like they're going back to that style. They played a pretty great selection of songs. Some rarely seen live or hidden gem types. My only complaint would be that they played like 4-5 songs off Milenko. The last tour was the whole album and it was the same songs you basically hear at every show, and of couse they played chicken huntin'. The rest of the set made up for it though. I really liked how they put the stage extra clown guys to work for this one. They would barely make it a song or 2 before coming back out in different costumes full of new flavor. J was really feeling it that night. He kept spitting out random WOOOOOs and getting high pitched and shit throughout the songs. You could tell he was just having a great time. He even threw out full bottles a bunch of times, usually before a song that received a good pop or a faygo break and the crowd would just erupt. ICP definitely made up for all the bullshit that came before them.
That's pretty much it. We finally got to have our smoke and picked up some beer on the way back to the hotel. If they come back to that venue i'll probably just hit up another stop on the tour if they don't hit Portland. What sucks is it seems just about every venue in Portland has told them to fuck off with all that faygo and it's hard for them to book anything around here.
That's pretty much it. Hope you guys enjoyed the read and had a blast at your stop of the tour. Can't wait to meetup again at the con!!!

friday, icp, slamfest tour:
arrived with lots of time. one of the security dips was drivin a truck around the lot talkin bout 'get in the line or get the fuck off the property', which i thought was hilarious, since you cant just toss people from a parking lot when the doors aint even open. theyve tried it before.
i went ahead and hung out in the line, anyway. still a bit too chilly to be throwin faygos around, so i didnt bring any. apparently no one else did either. eh.
got inside, got myself a rather pricey double [they used to be cheaper], which the bartender promptly dumped into my chaser, which made me wanna take back the dollar i tipped her. fuckin with my good irish whisky by mixing it with pop... oy. i still drank it.
shows.
for lil toenail, ima crib from skratchie, cuz he nailed the heart of it already:
Next up was lil toenail. he came out in his costume and shit and it was kinda entertaining for about a song or so, then his DJ started fucking it all up. He had all of like 2 samples on his setup that he overused the fuck out of. First up was that 4 time air horn thing that's been played the fuck out for many years at this point and the other was a more high pitched "lil toenail bitch". He then proceeded to use them both about every 5 seconds or so. Every break in between songs went the exact same way. Ex.( beew beew beew beeeeeeeewwwww. I'm lil toenail. lil toenail bitch. I'm gonna kick another song right quick. lil toenail bitch. This ones about saying fuck you to some ex bitch. beew beew beew beeeeeeeewwwww. Put your middle fingers up to this one to say fuck you as well. lil toenail bitch.) And that was pretty much it. He did a few songs and the DJ just kept throwing those 2 samples out over and over. Probably would have enjoyed it more if I could have just heard the dude rapping.
i swear he wasnt on the stage at all for the last two songs. and i couldnt see the dj, so to me, it looked like the juggalos were nodding their heads at attilas backdrop. or whoevers backdrop that was sposed to be. was basicly a sheet with some highschool bathroom grafitti on it.
next, cage, who ive never really checked out before, but i thought was decent. the crowd was exceptionally polite for cage; no throwin shit, no yelling, not even head nods, except for me, and i became self-conscious about it after a while. they just stood there, very calmly and quietly takin it in.
One thing I thought was funny was he went to take off his jacket early in the set and just left it hanging off one arm for the rest of the song then dropped it. But then a few songs later he decided to put it back on but just on the one arm again and just had it kinda half draped on for the rest of his set. Odd but worth mentioning cuz it gave me a small chuckle.
this too.
now sylar. from new york. i know this, cuz their central message is 'we are sylar from new york'. i think that was the title of every song they played.
followed by attila. they are from atlanta. that isnt their central message, though, their message is 'we need a mosh pit', 'lets get a mosh pit for this next song', 'i wanna see a mosh pit', and/or 'mosh mosh moshy mosh, pleeease?'. and theyre from atlanta.
next, was vip break. around this time, i noticed that the vip line had suddenly re-formed again, so i knew it would still be an hour, minimum, before we got on with it. sure enough.
and now, the show begins. somewhere around midnight.
no need to belabor the freshness that was icps performance, its been well covered. had all the various bits of stage dressing and costumes and such that have been mentioned [although, nobody said anything about a giant green army man with a bazooka, i dont think]. really decent setlist. my only gripe is that they were a little slow with the faygo. like there were conserving it or sumn. instead of two hundred two liters, we got about one-fifty. shrug. skratchie again:
He even threw out full bottles a bunch of times, usually before a song that received a good pop or a faygo break and the crowd would just erupt.
shaggy did this once or twice, only it was as if he was lookin for a particular bottle, and throwin out the rejects. when he found the right one, he actually stopped and, i dunno, admired it. like, 'there, thats a proper faygo, ill take this one'. sadly, he wasnt really lookin our way during all this, so most of the bottles he threw hit the light bank and fell by his feet.
still have my standard gripe about the pay-to-play faygo armageddon clowns [er, vip, those kids]: STOP THROWING THE FAYGO ON THE DAMN STAGE! THROW IT INTO THE CROWD, YOKELS! this is juggalo 101 shit, here... i cannot understand how vip ninjas are constantly fuckin this up so badly...
anyway, i went home covered in confetti bits, hella worn out but uninjured except for temporary ear ring, and pleased.
now that im thinkin bout it, this was one of the least violent saint louis icp shows ive been to. maybe the crowd burned off too much trying to make attila happy.
saturday, esham, dead of winter tour:
fucked up and left for the show waaay late, got there at nine, and the first openers went on ten minutes later. so, not late.
again got myself an expensive double, but the outland gives em to ya in a bucket, so i didnt gripe. also, they gave out free, ice-cold water for anybody wanted it, which is a nice touch.
the locals ran for quite a while, kickin cover songs, 'tributes', and once in a while some actually original shit. rated r, who had recently opened for shaggs, was the only one that held my interest for more than a minute.
had a lil police and ambulance drama, but turned out to be a medical issue, wasnt a brawl or nuthin.
gets to be esham time. i knew this, cuz while i was outside smokin n bullshittin, he walked up, and stood next to us for a minute, all incognito-like. cuz he had a ski mask on, see. somehow, that seemed to work, though, cuz i was the only one knew it was him.
i get back inside, and instantly notice that there are actually less people there than there were before. half the local openers are gone, and the randoms that just wandered have gotten nervous and dipped. out comes esham, and theres maybe, maybe twenty-five heads in the room. as his set ended, i shit you not, there was about a dozen ninjas in front of the stage, and about a dozen more in the next room at the bar. thazzit.
everybody left early is a fuckin dumbass. esham tore up a barn, and i got to enjoy it all full-blast, almost by myself. only other big guys there didnt seem to wanna wile out any, so there was no slamdancing or whatever, but the few of us that did get live stayed live. twas fuckin great.
there was a snow machine blowing bits of mentholated foam all over me for about the first twenty minutes.
the setlist did not include very many of my personal all-time favorites, but it was a good mix, and e was havin fun with it. bout as much fun as you can have when 'make some noise' gets you five people responding.
end of show, esham takes a couple extra minutes to show love, then vanishes. unfortunately, his merch people had already packed it in and vanished themselves, or idve bought a shirt just to pitch him some extra bucks.
i could go on about both nights, but this is enough.
so, there go the writeups.
[edit] typo fixes. mostly.
[edit edit] later realized that this isnt a tour thread, so, added the tour names.

Dope review Scruff.
Glad to see you are getting out of the house a little more often.
The small crowd for Esham at the end reminds me of the time I saw Canibus a few years back.
By the time he took the stage at 1230am there were only about 15 of us left in the venue to watch him mail it in.

Thank y'all for the write ups!
Damn that's crazy to hear about such a small turnout for Esham. Where the local openers "juggalo" or just your normal hip hop dudes?? Reason I'm asking, is because the same shit happens here in Jacksonville. All these rapper dudes (non juggalo) will come out the wood work when a shows in town (juggalo show) do their set THEN DIP! Like, bro.....stay for the show....mr. big fuckin rap star! haha I dunno, I seen a full after-party Rydas set here in Jax with about 15-20 people. Felt like it was MY show, straight front and center!

Slamfest 4-1-18 Detroit
When the tour dates were announced, i was disappointed not to see a cleveland date. 1st violent j's solo shit mysteriously got cancelled last minute in early 2017, then no date here for the milenko tour and now slamfest...wonder why.
Since Attila and other no bodies were on the bill, i deemed it not strongly important to make an trip out of town to see this tour. After the 1st tour date and i heard about icp's fresh set, i got a little more interested in catching a show. After reviewing the near by city dates, i put effort into trying to catch the Pittsburgh, columbus or detroit show. The stars didnt align for the 1st two dates and i began to accept that i cant make a show.
Then come march 28th and my woman picks me up from and tells me she spoke to my mom that day. Im thinkin, oh great what now, type shit,, gnome sayin. She tells me that my mom will let me borrow her car on Sunday. Im like, what do i need the car for. She said, "for slamfest, you are going!" and shows me an email of the purchase. I start grinning real big and ask if she got us floor or balcony seats. She says floor, and as soon as im bout to say, "Really? You are willing to stand all night for me?" When she cuts me off and says that only im going....sad face. Oh well, not my 1st solo endeavor, gonna be rough driving back home, alone, soaking wet and beat up from a show and then going straight to work, but fuck it, its fuckin ICP, totally worth the after effects!....and its in the fuckin D!
Fast forward to april easter fools day, where i consistently reminded myself not to fall for shit and question everything. I gathered all the requirements for the trip, ziplocks, towels, clothes, smoke, smokes, beverages etc till my mom came and picked me up. We went and chopped it for an hour or so and then it was time to start the highly anxious drive alone to the murder mitten.
As soon as i get a quarter mile on the highway, BLAAAAAAAM! Stopped traffic! It ended up taking me 45 minutes to go my 1st mile of the trip! What a great start...now i started thinking about the worries i have driving back without gps and lots of detours. I figured id be so tired that i would miss the detour signs and fuckin end up at the wizards palace with a talking haybale, a squeaky tea kettle and a hairy pussy.
Needless to say that was the only hiccup, atleast when it came to the driving part of the trip. After i got past the the scene of flipped vehicles and flashes of light that brainwashed me to crave captain crunch berries(i hate cereal, especially that kind.), it was smooth sailing.
Once i got there and found parking, i rolled a few j's and because i hurt from sitting awhile i decided to go for a burn walk past the line of anxious juggalos and explore this block of detroits murderous. As i was leaving i asked the parking guy if there was a store around here to get beer, and told me the fastest way to the store. I pointed the opposite way saying "this would be the long route", in which he replied "yeah, obviously"...i said thank you and took the long route for optimal burn time.
As i walked down the road i noticed the line was formed on both sides of the road. That confused the shit outta me, but i chucked it up to someone played a joke on some people and the sheep followed without question. As i stroll, in c-walk mode(clown walk), past the line of whoops and obscenities, jokers and tricksters, weed and beer fumes, i get an overwhelming wave of excitement as i saw that fillmore sign lit up with the words "insane clown posse" on it! After a few tokes while staring at that sign and the sea of juggalos under it, i press onwards around the block and peep out the stadiums and other sights as i go towards the store. About as soon as i finished the j i end up at the store, which happens to be closed. I keep strolling around the block back towards my car, thinking maybe that wasnt the store he meant, since i took the long route.
I make it back to the parking lot and the guy asked if i found it, while laughing...i smiled and said "you got me good, even tho i didnt need anything from it". He said why would you ask then, i told him "cuz i just needed a pot of gold at the end of my rainbow journey". Puzzled he said " what the fuck did you just say". I cracked up laughing and said why do you think i walked the long way to "the store", cuz i went for a burn route. Then i said "the jokes on you jack, cuz when i get out of the show and your at home sleeping, im going to take a shit, right there in front of your door to your little booth" and walked back to my car for some adult beverages and more herbage.
At about 720ish i gather my shit and make my way to the venue...a little side note on the venue and how the tickets work. They have 2 or three different types of seated tickets and the floor tickets. Two of the seated tickets are cheaper than the floor tickets and i think the other was vip premiums. They have attendants in all sections where the seats are, making sure no one sits in one thats not theirs, but as for the floor, no one is there to check. Meaning i could of bought a cheaper ticket, had a seat and still go on the floor if i wanted to. So theres a tip for you 1st timers of the fillmore...they also have a bottomless soda thing for 7 bucks online, just make sure to get it when you 1st get there or they will think you are scamming them, like they accused me of doing.
Once i got in and marveled at the architecture, i stumbled over to the merch booth. They had 4 tour exclusive tshirts, one with the dates on the back, one of j and shaggs in an action figure package, and the other 2 were vintage wrestling style tshirts using hulk hogans colors. They yellow one with red print said " i survived a leg drop from shaggy 2 dope, on the slamfest tour" and the red one said "i survived a moonsault from violent j, at the slamfest tour". I had to have the action figure shirt, so i grabbed a beer and got in line, which went up and down the balcony area stairs.
After i got my shirt i went and explored more of the venue and found the stage area. I believe it was cage who was on, he had his jacket half on. I chilled for like 3 songs and dipped cuz i couldnt get exactly what i was seeing and hearing. Finding the smoking area was easy, but the bathroom was hidden. I asked a worker and they said "go downstairs, behind the stairs", im like is this an april fools riddle, and she laughed and said its fun to tell people where it is becuz of their responses! Fyi if you look at the stairs, the doors to the smoking area are behind it, so being told there is stairs behind the stairs seemed not plausible, due to the space available, but sure enough they were there.
Once i got back the rude boy was on stage introducing the next act. Thats when i learned that they are shooting a live dvd tonight! He said they knew to record it on the last date because detroit knows how to throw it down. As i was picking my wig back up off the floor, i knew right there i HAVE to get on the stage during the Armageddon!
I believe sylar was up next. Scruffy and skratchie, along with everyone else summed up this act perfectly #newyork #RaRaRaYaRa
Next was louija and lyte weight, they seemed to work good together on stage, but im still not getting much substance outta them yet, but they aint unbearable. One song they did was a straight diss song that called out young wicked and the other mne artists, from what i was able to digest past the bass of the speakers. Overall no complaints about em, but nothing special either.
Attila was next and just like sylar, everyones review on them were spot on. before every song they would say something about a mosh pit. They crowd was feeling them tho. When they asked the crowd who has seen them before and who hasnt it was a 50/50 type deal. After 2 songs i went for 2 smokes, one for each headache i got from the 2 songs i heard. At about 30 minutes into their set i made my way to the pit to gain position for icp. I got right up on the edge of the mosh circle and watched them ninjas enjoy themselves and watched these 2 dudes picking up random people constantly and throwing the unknowing individual into crowd surfing experience, that shit was hilarious...kept me entertained while my eardrums got pierced by the loud noises coming from the speakers.
Show time! I got a great spot, only had one person infront of me and the barrier...its better to be 2nd, 3rd or 4th from the barricade cuz its easier to get over the barricade. The lights cut and the intro begins. At this point i was preparing for something i thought of before i went down to the pit during attila. I filled up the bottomless 44 oz plastic cup and saved it for a perfectly timed splash when the song toy box hits and the crowd explodes. Its was perfect, i seen a vid on youtube, and it all splashed on one lucky ninja! Their set and stage were on fuckin point, seeing army men crawling around and that new faygo break is fuckin fresh...could be tweaked a lil, but i enjoy it alot. I loved the songs the used and the order they were in...but i feel like the should do the 3rd verse of the neden game or not do it at all, and i think its time to retire boogie woogie wu. Good song, but a lil slow and has alot of awkard parts when performed live, especially when it comes to the parts the crowd says, some ninjas got bad timing, gnome sayin. Vj and shaggs looked great, they were acting basically the whole time, mostly for the dvd that was being shot, i assume. They whispered things throughout the set, like 665 and vipers, i believe...idk if that was vip codes to line up, or if they were subliminal things for the dvd.
The grande finale! I see the vips line up and know whats about to happen. The music begins for bang pow boom and the place explodes. i scope out securities approach to handling the ninjas jumping the barricade and devise a plan. I tap the ninja next to, give him the look and point up. He preps himself and up and over i go! The guard snatches me off the crowd and starts pushing me towards the side, as soon as he let go i dove like a soldier would into a trench, on to the stage and join in on the big bang splash, passing one full bottle to the crowd for every one bottle i opened, enjoying the juggalo bliss! I even sprayed the shit outta dj clay, almost knocking his glasses off.
The music stops and the crowd chants and im tossin all the empty boxes into the crowd, looking for one last bottle. Next thing i know im the only one left so i turn to get off and a ninja was there wearing part of the monkey uniform from toy box and play with me and stops me. He tells me "thats a fresh ass shirt homie" and i thank him. Then it clicked, "hey arent you fuckin vinnie?" He tells me "yeah man, its me" and i said "are you just april fooling me?" To which he then proceeded "no fooling homie, do i have to say freshly fresh faygos freshly flying flava all fresh like, for you to believe?"(it was something along those lines, he went on a tangent using the word fresh that left my wig flipped from his freshness). I fucking laughed hard as fuck and told him "i fuckin love you ninja" and he pulled me in for a hug and returned the juggalo love. We had a couple more words and then parted ways.
How fuckin fresh! I cant believe i got told i have a fresh shirt from the kid with thousands of fresh shirts!
After the fun cold walk to the car to dry off and change it was back to the road, beat up from crowd surfing juggalos, that 3 days later still hurts. Drive back went smoother than i assumed and then the reality of life began when i got home at 440 am. Fresh experience im thankful to have made and i cant wait for that dvd!

Nice try at trolling me....i gotta whine about it 1st.
I dont post these "reviews" for others, its for my own recollection purposes...did i ever say anything about that "battle wound" in my "review"?....no i didnt....why?......because get fucked up way worse at work on a daily basis...the pic is a reminder to myself on how live detroit was compared to other shows.
Try again my black swan.

Milenko and Friends Tour:
Emerson Theater Indianapolis, Indiana
9-2-2018
This show was supposed to be the first date of the tour back on 8-6-18, but got postponed and ended up being the last date of the tour. I'm not sure why this one got postponed, but it was before violent j left the stage at one of the Canadian dates, that inevitably led to a brief cancellation of the tour. With that being said, this tour shirt is exxtra fresh to me since the dates on the back are all fucked up.
My story begins on Friday (2 days prior). Me and my woman were discussing what we could do on Saturday while I tripped. During that convo I made a small comment that ended up being one of life's greatest joys, Experiences! I briefly stated "if you weren't going to faggot ass sandusky on Sunday with your nephew, we could of hit up the icp show in Indiana." I can't believe my drunken comment ended up having such a positive repercussion.
Shortly after that comment and discussing a lil more about what we can do tomorrow I went to bed. When I woke up the Mrs. was already up and was bursting with energy, which is unusual. She was filled with so much excitement, that she broke my morning rule of letting my brain start up before convos are held (30 mins). She told me that she booked a hotel room, bought two tickets to the show and that my mom will let me borrow her car, and that @LSDemon will be accompanying me on my journey to the Emerson Theater for the 1st time!
My wig must of flipped 665 times before it landed upside down on my head...meaning it took a minute for my brain to start spinning it's gears and comprehend what's just been presented to me! What a fuckin great find my woman was, is and always WILL be! Thank you for always looking out for me, having my back, and for bettering my life! You truly are an amazing diamond that continues to shine brighter on me everyday, I LOVE YOU!
Sunday, Sept. 2nd, 9:00am- I begin my adventure. Spent an hour loading the car, fueling up, and getting breakfast. By 10am I was on my way to pick up the homie LSDemon and finally hit the road. The ride there was loooooong as fuck. I had so much excitement and anxiety that time just seemed to stop. Of course the scenery only involved corn fields, Jesus crosses, antique flea markets, and highway state troopers...LOTS and LOTS of highway state troopers, mostly since it was labor day weekend. If I had to guess how many people I saw pulled over, or cars abandoned and ticketed to be towed (due to getting arrested), I'd say about 417, the whole trip.
We had some good convos about the gathering on our ride up...gotj stories are always great! He reminded me about a bunch of shit that I still can't recall, but all I got to say is the "funyuns and condoms" gag will happen!
Our hotel was right off the highway and about 10 minutes down the road from the venue, literally on the same road. Plus a Walmart and lots of fast food and liquor stores in walking distance. My woman is too good at finding prime locations to "set up shop", especially for a ninja without GPS... Two scoops of whoop for the prime real estate!
Once I pulled into the hotel I got cut off by some dumb blonde bitch who rushed inside before me. Since I worked a year, and my woman 3 years, at a hotel, we just "know" things about the different types of customers hotels get, especially hotels only the "locals" rent a room....so I had an idea on why that disgrace of human waste rushed in there. I took my time to get in the building to check in cuz I knew she was gonna be problematic for the receptionist, and I'd rather walk in at the tail end of it, or else I might say something I could potentially regret, listening to that bitch's mouth. Sure enough she was trying to get into someone's room who is at work. The employee did their job and didn't give that fucktard a key to the room.
This raised alot of red flags to me. In that 2 minute ordeal I learned alot about this hotel...its a "local" hotel, which means they have people who basically live there, renting rooms. That means one of the floors or buildings is dedicated to "filthy" people, which means roaches and bed bugs and prostitutes and junkies and "deals gone bad" situations. Which also means the hotel doesn't give much effort into cleaning all the laundry and the room....meaning they was bed bug and nasty bed sheets with the "clean" rooms too. It also means your car isn't safe...we had someone stealing catalytic converters off cars in our parking lot for about 7 months, and never got caught...so yeah now I'm paranoid.
The clerk was pleasant and very helpful with my questions and most likely gave me a "clean" room due to my questions and since I told her I know how it is since I worked at one before. I hopped in the car and drove around back towards our room. We noticed the pool was thick with algae, maybe cuz the season is over, or maybe it was like that all summer, who knows? The walk to our room was run down looking but as soon as we entered the room, my paranoia calmed down a lil bit. I, as with every hotel, inspected the mattresses and other locations for bed bug and roach evidence, to which I was pleased to find all newer stuff and no evidence of the room being sprayed!
Now that my nerves were calm, we hit up Wally world and got some Mickey d's and grabbed some beer at a liquor store. I guess they don't sell beer in gas stations in Indiana...but I was thankful they sold beer on Sunday's, I thought that would of been the real issue! When we got back we switched into our icp shoes and pregamed a lil bit.
The drive to the venue was everything I expected a smooth ride with lots of run down "hick/ghetto" sites to see... Prolly saw 5 liquor stores, 40 Jesus paraphernalia of some sort and 2 janky railroad tracks in that little stretch. As we got near Isdemon stated that the place with the line is it. I said OK.... well...where's the parking lot. Then he shouted "HOLY SHIT, the merch booth is outside!!" I almost stopped the car right in the middle of the road in disbelief! I said that's fresh as fuck and continued to look for the parking area. I then noticed both streets on each side of the venue was lined with cars and when I hit the next block it was too. So hit it that corner and say juggalos coming out of cars. ALL the neighbors were out on their porch having convos about the shit they are witnessing!
It was hilarious the shit we heard from the people who live on those streets! (damn Bible humpers lol) We hurried up and parked and went for a burn walk thru the hood before we hounded the merch booth. I gotta say, it was great to have the merch outside, since I could run it back to the car instead of wearing multiple shirts.
We walked up at about 6:15 and they were already letting ninjas inside...we read the doors open at 6:30. No big deal though, it's just the openers if we miss anything(which we didn't). After browsing the fresh merch I approached to make my purchase. The tour shirts were only 10 fucking bucks! The others were 20, but why the tour ones were 10 is beyond me...maybe cuz they over produced, maybe cuz the dates weren't correct, who knows?
I had my eye on that piggie pie shirt, but they only had larges left. He then proceeded to give me mad info and we chopped it for a lil bit...mad props and Much Juggalo Love to the merch guy! He said that, hopefully, next weekend psymerch.com is gonna have a huge update, so be on the look out!...i won't spill the beans.
We got our shit and took it back to the car. The people on the porch were still chattering about what's going on 😂. Time to see what the inside looks like now! As we got back the crowd thinned out, meaning they were inside. Normal juggalo security pat down and we are in.
Now when I said we were in, I meant that literally. As soon as we walked in, there was only 17 paces (heel to toe) till you were in the crowd by the stage. The "bar" was a little cubby hole in the wall during that 17 feet walk. They only had 5 options for beer, pbr, Miller Lite, redds apple, Coors Lite, and Michelob Lite, all for 5 bucks. Now I understand why the merch was outside, there was literally no where to put it inside!
The first act was on and I noticed who it was...we walked back outside lol. I gave this person recognition before and I won't do it again, but this is the only act that didn't entertain me. The next act was OK. There's was some mic issues but their songs weren't bad. One of the songs involved a chick and she was hardcore into it. It was a positive song and she appeared to be having the time of her life, mad props and Much Juggalo Love for your positive energy.
Up next was Louija. The crowd was still kinda thin, which was crazy cuz the whole venue prolly held about 250 people. Louijas intro said something about a giant dick, in which I kept screaming "where's the giant dick" throughout his set! He rocked the stage tho...he came along way since the video shoot in Columbus for the juggalo Love psypher...much more comfortable with being on psychopathic in front of juggalos. At one point he wanted to see some crowd surfing during a song. One person got picked up and stayed afloat for about 17 seconds. The next song he wanted the crowd to get more hyphy and said he wanted to see lots of feet in the air...mad props for making a joke on the spot ninja!
Towards the end of his set I went to "resupply"...meaning piss, smoke and grab another drink. I had a pleasant convo with some ninjas outside, all while louija was getting crowd surfed,...or so I heard. On the way back in there was a dry erase board where a. x. e. wrote their name spelled out. I decided to graffiti it too, I put FLH 4 life, in the corner. Then I linked back up with lsdemon.
We chopped it waiting for esham when he came up wit a good idea. He said he wanted to drop everything in his pockets off at the car midway thru esham, that way we didn't have anything to worry about. Basically if you wanna know how to spot someone who has never been to the Emerson Theater, they are the ones with their stuff in ziplock baggies Lmjao!
Esham came on and started rocking shit. His set wasn't as good as the gotj this year, but it was still great...if he is your cup of tea that is. I've never got into him, but that's all a series of coincidences...and another story. Much respect to him and his art tho.
After our trip to the car he was just wrapping up. He must of played close to an hour... Which brings me to something else I have to talk about. Everything was early as fuck, atleast compared to what I'm used to. I'm used to icp coming on around 1030 to 1115 time frame....at this point it looked like it was gonna still be daylight when we got out lol. Esham prolly got off around 9 amd the clowns came on around 925...meaning we were feeding our late night munchies by 1050...they must have a curfew with that venue.
When esham got off and we walked towards the stage we were able to walk all the way to the stage, basically. There was maybe 3 or 4 rows of people in front of us and we were the last row, behind us was sparseness. After about 20 min the crowd got a little thicker but still not that big. The whole venue was the size of the mosh pit at the gathering. At some point during the fumbling of the curtains being out up, umbrellas poked over the curtains. There was Mary Poppins among other jokes being slung around.... Great times!
The clowns hit the stage and there was no big push forward like Im used to. Anyways the music hits and ninjas start dancing in the diamond mist! I had a blast clowning around during their set! All the songs flowed together nicely and the crowd loved it everytime I kept chants going. I love how they did house of horrors and cut the lights off when he raps that part of the song. And then while the lights are still off you hear the GREATEST song they ever did live, The Greatest Show! I quickly get excited and spent every once of energy I had left on starting pandemonium amongst the crowd! I went so crazy that by the time the 2nd verse hit i was completely done for and about to pass out. Luckily the ninjas on stage saw this and focused the faygo spraying towards me!
I'm so glad they started performing that song, it just makes more sense than boogie man. After that song there was only a few more songs till the finale, pass me by. The beat kicked on and ninjas were all smiling ear to ear....fuck I love all you juggalos! I notice some people hop the barricade, so I get into game mode. I push my way to fill the newly made void and proceed to hop over. There was no bouncers/security to hurdle but there was a nice five foot drop to the floor in between. Luckily becuz I'm so damn lanky I was able to get one hand on the stage to prevent me from crashing hard on the floor. In the mix of my situation, Louija grabs my arm helps ensure I don't get fucked up!
How fucking fresh is that! Mad fuckin Juggalo Love to you ninja!...you will always be kewl in my book! I then hopped on stage grabbed a 2 liter and quickly realized I'm the 1st and only one on stage with louija and the clowns rapping pass me by! One of the stage monsters comes out and quickly escorts me off the stage. Once I hopped off I took that 2 liter and proceeded to walk thru the crowd spraying anyone in my path. I had lots of ninjas jump in front of me to dance in the diamond mist with me. And as soon as I'm about to spray my last victim and launch the bottle, none other then @DeathMetalJuggalo jumps in front of me and takes the last spraying. I was sooooooooo fucking flabberghasted that I couldn't even throw the bottle, I straight dropped it one the ground. He gave me a fucking hug and at that point I almost passed out from the wave of emotions that hit me!
I could barley stand, after my woman doing an amazing thing for me, my mom lending me her car, lsdemon accompanying me on this adventure, "The Greatest Show", louija helping a ninja out, being 1st on stage, and now running into dmj! What a fuckin EXPERIENCE!
For me the "friends" in Milenko And Friends Tour means something different than what icp intended, but that's the magic of the Dark Carnival! Much Juggalo Love to @LSDemon and @DeathMetalJuggalo and all the ninjas I chopped it with at this show.
P. S. As I left the venue I noticed the "FLH 4 life" erased off the board but not the axe shit...so either there was some FLH haters there OR axe are some butch ass haters....either way I got my eyes peeled!

I got to see my favorite metal band the other night.
The venue was set up with two stages. It allowed the show to move quickly between bands. If icp do separate solo tours i hope they both play this venue on the same night, giving Santa Ana the best stop on the tour. It's called Malone's.
There were a ton of bands. Still Not Dead killed it. Got to kick it with some new juggalos and some of my favorite local jug heads.
The rhythm guitarist, Slim, was looking sexy as hell too.
