I assume if you have tickets, you’ll get in. But I’ve never gone so I can’t say. I would hope that they would understand. I’d hate to take the bus all the way there and be stranded, too.

i don’t remember hearing about people being turned away. This post http://deadspin.com/5831225/dr…..e-juggalos describes a late arrivals adventures into the gathering. By the time she arrived, most tents were already set up and the bathroom had already been made unpleasant. 

@juggalotus8990 Where’d you pick up on this bit of info?

This was a major sticking point in the forums LAST YEAR and Jumpsteady addressed it in a Hatchet Herald from before last year’s Gathering.

(I tried looking for the page in the thread but can’t locate it)

But in a nutshell… don’t worry about it. 1) it was never an issue for anyone 2) they opened up MORE area for people to camp in (which is now officially where the JCW Stage is now located so it’s there for camping use) 3) we all assume it was just “politics”

After The Gathering got bounced from it’s original site at Crybaby Campgrounds, there was a lot of apprehension from locals and police (so they would have us believe) and that comment about the cap tweaked a lot of people.

However, seeing as last year went off with NO problems from either the police or the Juggalos everyone is much more comfortable.

Surprised to see this brought back up as *I was one of the people freaking out about it last year.

Don’t sweat it.

Yes it is but Legend Valley was not the “original” location after they moved it from Cave-In/Hog Rock.

And yeah, the other function of that thread was for us to freak out about the cops possibly harshin’ people’s gig. Which they apparently never did and we all had the times we wanted. It’s still getting posted to because of the name of the thread and some of the newer folks are asking the same questions from last year. 

It’s okay, homie. At least you’re trying to do your Gathering homework.

Zanesville? That’s just a hop, skip, and a jump down the road on 40… And the Greyhound station is right ON 40… I can theoretically come scoop you guys up… Maybe in exchange for breakfast? What day/time is your bus rolling in?

Works for me. It’ll just be me and my kid and all our shit, so we’ll have room. He and I were already figuring on hitting the same IHOP we ate at last year lol.

He’s 15, I’m 34. If you look around for @verytwiztidraven ‘s write-up from last year’s GOTJ, you’ll see a handful of Boxy’s adventures lol.

As to why we call him Boxy? From Riverfront Times, he’s #4 in this article (with a photobomb from @carnivalkilla44 , @frog is #8 incidentally lol).

I don’t remember ppl getting turned away last year but some ppl with car passes did. 

I don’t recall that… The only clusterfuck I remember was a few Ballas sites not having the hookups they were supposed to, or something along those lines.
