So this should be my first year going…just got into this shit, even though had a step dad who was intense as fuck…anyone got any advice or what not for a new juggalette? excited as fuck…  

the gathering website has good tips. I think its in the General Info section. Go through the threads on here. A lot of people posted good info and tips especially with this being the 3rd year at the same venue. 

And of course…BYOB

Does anyone know if these things would actually work at the gathering?

it might be a little wobbly if you pull it front behind, especially if your on the rocks. I always thought this would be a good alternative to a wagon. only think that worries me is the quality of the wheels. I might search for a more heavy duty one but I like this style of a cart.

TWO VERY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS:

1) is there a place to get ice at the grounds? without having to leave? i mean just a booth selling ice walking distance from my tent.

2) is there an endless supply of beer/other alcoholic beverages at all times? that means, bars that are always open no matter what time of day it is, always selling cold beer?

1) There is a general store on the grounds that sells ice. Also there are 2 gas stations within walking distance that sell ice too. They sell out at times but they keep getting trucks delivering it. Well last year they did.

2) there are no bars or beer vendors at legend valley. It’s all byob. You can buy beer at those same gas stations until 1am. Dunno when you can buy in the morning. Plus random ninjas sell beers out of their coolers too. Even shots.

I know others have mentioned it but it bears repeating because even though I’ve only been twice, I’ve noticed it happening a whole lot. 

Pace yourself. 

With any and all stimulants (even too much sugar can fuck you up in that level of heat), with sun, with events, with everything there. Again, I’ve only been twice but just from walking from point A to point B, you’ll see a ridiculous amount of people who were screaming “Gather harder!” on day one, completely washed up and looking like death on day two. You don’t want to be one of those people.

Also, don’t assume that each and every person there is “fam” and that you can trust them. Most people that are there and just like you and wanting to have fun and help each other out BUT any and all environments have their predators. The Gathering is no exception. 

I’m not saying that you wouldn’t pace yourself or that you would assume everyone is trustworthy but it never hurts to remind.

Those who weren’t there don’t understand what hot is :)    

IDK man, 2010 was fuckin toasty! If I remember correctly, the coolest it got (during the day) was around 98 degrees. I remember Day 0 – Day 1 was something around 104-105.

Well shit…

Guess I haven’t been up on my “Jim Breuer News” over the years as I just found out that since around 2010, he’s become born again and “gone clean”… ugh… smh

I don’t recall any parts of his routines that could really be considered “dirty”. He didn’t go off like Carlin ‘er nuthin’. My favorite bit he did was about the alcohol in your stomach. But if what I *do remember is what he considers his “blue work”, I can’t possibly IMAGINE what he now considers “clean comedy”… I never considered him as salty a comic as Dave or others in the first place.

And guess what? We can blame Bill Cosby! No shit. Here’s an excerpt from an article written about Jim’s “going clean” from early 2014. BEFORE Cosby’s rape scandal became a real thing…

Maybe that’s why he’s willing to play The Gathering. That Cosby shit knocked him down a cloud or two. Or this new path of his is some kind of thing that brought Jim and Violent J together. I’m sure there’s a story there. I just really hope he hasn’t gone TOO soft or preachy. He tours with metal bands so… hope.

I’m gonna need to see Jim Norton talkin’ about fuckin’ trannies and paying to cuckold prostitutes to cleanse my comedy otherwise.
