Okay, we are finally finished with all the live band shots from the Gathering of the Juggalos. From here on out all the remaining updates are at least sort of interesting. And I know there has been an unbearable amount of Insane Clown Possee photos but you just have to make it until Wednesday and we move on to some other shit and I go back to work taking photos of hip downtown kids doing whatever they are doing.

Anyway, at the Gathering a bunch of bands played. I avoided most of the bands but I did get a chance to see a few people.  I wanted to see the Kottonmouth Kings and Hed PE because I liked them when I was 17 and I wanted to see Warren G because I feel like Regulators changed my life in some weird way. I also needed to get shots of Coolio and Vanilla Ice because, come on… it’s fucking Coolio and Vanilla Ice! And I also just happened to stumble in on Afroman and some other band I have no idea who are.  And that’s that.

I really don’t have much to say about any of the sets except that Coolio was wearing clown make up, has an ICP tatttoo and was wearing an ICP/Coolio tour T-shirt. Also Afroman stopped his set to smoke weed out of a huge bog and the song just kept playing. It might have been a bit of a Milli Vanilli moment except I am pretty sure everyone there is too high to care.

So yeah, click here to see all the other bands at the Gathering of the Juggalos!

Oh, by the way, did I mention that Vanilla Ice played “Ninja Rap” off the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II soundtrack but changed the lyrics so it was about ICP??

It’s the weekend so I am sticking you guys with the boring live band stuff. I know there are some new juggalo visitors to this site, but I am guessing the rest of you don’t really care about seeing live photos of bands you don’t give a shit about. Well too bad. This is Juggalo week at Driven By Boredom so you are going to have to deal with it. I said in my last post that you have 10 more updates of this stuff, well.. I was wrong… NOW there are 10 more.  But there is a bunch of naked stuff coming Monday-Wednesday and everyone loves naked juggalettes even if you are a little bit horrified by them as well.

Anyway, this update is nothing but Psychopathic Records artists. We are talking about obviously the Insane Clown Posse, but also Twiztid, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, Boondox, Dark Lotus and the Psychopathic Rydas.  Also we have some shots in here from ICP’s Q&A seminar, shots of Sugar Slam and her girls and shots from the opening night when the entire Psychopathic family made an appearance on stage together… many dressed as cowboys… I am sure you guys are gonna love this.

I don’t really know anything about Tech N9ne except for the fact taht I took a lot of pictures of him at The Gathering of the Juggalos. It’s sort of weird. I probably shot 20 artists at the Gathering and I took the most of one of the few bands I shot that I didn’t really know anything about. I think the light was just good adnt hat he put on an awesome shwo, but it is sort of weird that I have a full gallery of Tech N9ne but none of the Psychopathic Records bands.

The one thing I do know about Tech N9ne is that when I showed one of my hip hop loving friends the Gathering infomercial he was absolutely shocked that Tech N9ne would associate himself with ICP.  Well not only has Tech N9ne played multiple Gatherings but he actually wore face paint for the show. It might not have been clown make up, but the “EAT ME” on his face is still pretty fuicking amazing.

And don’t worry… Just 10 more Gathering of the Juggalos updates left after this one!

When walking by a circus tent at the Gathering of the Juggalos I over heard someone on a microphone yell out “Are you ready to see some midgets bleed!?!” As a man who is always ready to see anyone bleed I was sold – dwarfism or not. When I got over to the stage they were hyping the fight. They brought up a “Pint sized brawler” who agreed to let a man stable a dollar bill to one of his testicles for $65. The guy who paid the money was way too excited about doing it. As someone who once accepted $75 just to pierce my scrotum, $65 to get an actual ball stapled seemed like a little bit low.

After that horrible episode was over they left us to bake in the “Freak Show Tent” which while out of the sun was actually somehow hotter than outside of the tent and far more humid. People kept throwing water bottles and Faygo at everyone which did not help the humidity. When the dwarfs returned I was sweating sun block into my eyes.  The midgets hit each other with stop signs and stapled dollar bills onto each other’s heads. They were accepting dollar bills like strippers would except you didn’t get to see boobs, you just got to see a bleeding midget.  Fair enough, I will take that all day.

The match was soon over and I spend the rest of the day light hours trying to move our 30 foot RV to a better parking spot so I could ecape back to civilzation the second ICP ended later that night.

Click here to see a lot of photos of Half Pint Brawlers wrassle each each other and staple gun dollar bills to all sorts of things. This gallery is NSFW, but not in the good way… Enjoy!

Did you just read the title of that post? Seriously I did not make that up.  That is what this thing was called on the official Gathering of the Juggalos schedule. On the last day of the festival the Insane Clown Posse threw a party pretty much thanking everyone for coming out by cooking hot dogs and hamburgers for everyone. Oh, and it was Michael Jackson themed. I didn’t actually stay for him but I did talk to a Michael Jackson impersonator back stage for a while. The whole thing was super weird but also a lot of fun.  You can talk shit about ICP as much as you want, but this is a band that keeps it real. It might be real weird, but still it’s pretty real. These are guys who have do pretty much everything themselves. They have shunned MTv and the rest of the music industry and still have a huge fan base. Bands on their record label headlined every night to thousands and thousands of people who came out in the middle of nowhere to watch them play. And to thank them all they held a party, invited people on stage and cooked for them. They had swimming pools filled with Faygo that they passed out to the crowd and it was actually a really great time over and all Michael Jackson sound track. You just don’t see a lot of huge bands with creepy totally obsessed fan bases do stuff like this for their fans.

Anyway, I got my best shots of ICP at this thing so you should click here and see al the pictures from the Michael Jackson Moonwalk BBQ Blowout Pajama Jam at the Gathering of the Juggalos… But the real question is… Where are all the Pajamas?

Seriously, get ready to have your mind fucking blown. Like, you have no idea. I have a gallery here for you with no less than 86 photos of topless juggalettes taken at the infamous Gathering of the Juggalos. This is a very weird phenomena. Tons of random girls who probably should not be naked ever for any reason at any time in front of anyone for any reason walk around naked.  Other girls walk around offering to show their boobs for $1. Seriously one dollar is the going rate for boobs.  Also it is the going rate at the Gathering for beer.  Also you can trade beer for boobs as well. It is a thriving capitalist Utopian system. If I was 15 this would be the greatest thing on Earth. As a 30 year old it is still actually pretty awesome. The only time I took anyone up on the boobs for dollars offer was three girls who were offering such a treat and my editor and I were passing by watching them haggle with some juggalos.  We both sort of looked at each other and figured this would be hilarious.  We both had two dollars in our pocket so I offered them a deal. For $4 dollars I wanted a photo of them separately and as a group. I thought they were going to haggle with me, but they really just couldn’t figure out how to split up the last dollar. It was pretty fucking hilarious.

The whole thing is just a mess of awesomeness that you will never be able to unsee. Like seriously, I am fucking warning you now, if you click through to this gallery your life will be changed forever. This is as Not Safe For Work as it gets. Not because it is graphic, but just because if your boss ever finds out you are into juggalo porn not only will he fire you, but he will tell your family and friends about it and you will lose them all forever. So, now, that you have had proper warning: Click here to see 86 pictures of naked juggalettes at the Gathering of the Juggalos.

Ps. I feel for some reason this post will get a lot of traffic so if you are new please follow my Tumblr and Twitter for crazy shit three hundred and sixty five days a year.

For those who did not take Juggalo Anthropology 101 in college I bring you a little primer on Juggalo communication.  The juggalo have 43 different words that mean “face paint” but at the same time they can express thousands of thoughts and ideas using only the words “woop woop”.  They are an interesting creature but one of the most fascinating ways they communicate is through card board signage. They use cardboard signs for mating, to gather food, water and drugs and as even as a primitive form of commerce often using the barter system of trading tits for beer. As I studied the juggalo I documented quite the collection of these card board messages as well as other forms of written exchange.

And so begins a series of extremely Not Safe For Work updates from the Gathering of The Juggalos…

Every year at the Gathering of the Juggalos they have a Ms. Juggalette contest.  I had heard horrific things about how like how last year one of the girls fucked herself with a microphone for whatever reason. This year they couldn’t even find all the contestants to do it and two of them quit mid contest.  I think the two that backed out quit because the first girls “talent” was to masturbate on stage until she squirted all over the front row of the crowd. Seriously.

I didn’t actually take any photos of this because she was pretty far away from me but you can imagine what that would be like.  The whole thing is a crazy mess of half naked Juggalettes giving eachother lap dances. I am sure if you ever want to enjoy the concept of sexuality again you probably don’t want to look at these pictures. They are not for the faint of heart.

Also I met two 16 year old kids at the Gathering who were showing me all the autographs they got so I sent them over to the winner of the Ms. Juggalette pageant and she signed their t-shirts or something. It was really quite adorable, although if I were them I think I would have burned that marker… or at least sold it on ebay.

So click here for some extremely NSFW photos of the Ms. Juggalette contest at the Gathering of the Juggalos.

So you know the Gathering of the Juggalos has bands.  You know it has crazy drugged up juggalos. You probably even know they have helicopter rides. But did you know they have comedians? Three out of the four nights of the Gathering a 2 AM comedy event jumped off. It was hosted by a very serious man named Upchuck the Clown. The first night featured New Yorker Hannibal Buress and Ron Jeremy. The second night featured Tom Green and the third and final night featured the comedy stylings of Galagaher. Let’s get into it.

The first night of the Gathering we got in about 9pm and by around midnight we still didn’t really know where we were going or what we were doing.  We had tried to set up an interview with Hannibal Burress but the phones weren’t working so we weren’t sure what to do.  We decided we would figure out where the comedy tent was and see if he was around there. We asked a security guard where the tent was and he pulled out a map. We never got a map so after we found the comedy tent we decided to walk back to the entrance of the Gathering to try and get maps.  When we got to the gate Hannibal just happened to be standing outside. I met Hannibal a few months ago, so I reintroduced myself and my editor asked him a few questions. He still hadn’t been inside yet and we offered to walk him over to the tent since that place is labyrinth like if you don’t know your way around.  We walked around the Gathering watching him interact with juggalos which was maybe the funniest thing to happen all week. I also convinced him to buy some Faygo so he could spray it all over the crowd.. which he did.  His set was great. I was worried he was going to get Tila Tequillaed but he held his own and he got a “Fam-i-ly” chant out of the Juggalos. The whole thing was pretty amazing and a great start to the Gathering.  Also when we asked him how he got this gig he told us that he has the same booker as Rob Schneider and when he turned the gig down Hannibal got it. I still have no idea if he was kidding or not.

After Hannibal Ron Jeremy did his thing. I run into Ron Jeremy all the time at the porn convention bullshit I shoot.  We have been to the same parties and once I ran into him at Lit Lounge of all places. He works for Hotmovies and I tend to shoot a lot of their stuff. He always seems super creepy, even for porn standards and he has never been even the slightest bit friendly to me. He seemed to be in a better mood than normal at the Gathering and was borderline charming with people so I decided maybe I should bury the hatchet and try to talk to him. I said “Ron, I have shot so many events you have done, its crazy that I always run into you.”  He just looked at me blankly and said sarcastically “Oh yeah, we are really bonding.”  I don’t really know what his deal is but I did see him invite an extremely ugly girl back to his trailer. She told me she would totally fuck him. Anyway, his comedy wasn’t very funny. A lot of it was one liners I heard him tell over and over again. That being said, he was actually pretty good at telling them. He has good delivery and he pulled out dozens of them while doing question and answers. I don’t even know what else to say so I will leave it at that.

Tom Green did his thing on the second night and was unfortunately the only comedian I missed which is ironic because he is the one I wanted to see the most. I sort of covered this in the Tila Tequila post but I will give you a quick break down.  Tom and I have a mutual friend who helped us set up an interview with him. Unfortunately the lack of phone thing screwed that up. Add to that the fact that his plane got delayed and we would have never had a chance.  We decided to meet him at the comedy tent and try to set something up. When Tom got there I introduced myself and he had been excited to do the interview so we set it up for after his set. His set was an hour and he was already 45 minutes late so I figured that Tila Tequila who was scheduled at the same time would be over well before his set was but clearly that didn’t happen. Tom showed up at Tila’s set and we got to escape the mobs of Juggalos with him but we never got to do the interview. It was certainly a weird experience with one of my favorite comedians.

The last comedian on the list was Gallagher. I had a run in with him the night before and he seemed a bit off but mostly friendly. I had seen him still out, fucked up out of his mind at 8 am so I was excited to see what state he would be in during his stand up. He also did not have the best things to say about juggalos in out conversation with him so I was wondering how this all would go. I also knew he was very conservative and he did not disappoint when he opened with a joke about Ted Kennedy’s brain cancer. He spent a while telling pretty unfunny racist and homophobic jokes which the juggalos seemed to enjoy despite the fact that ICP has about 50 songs about killing bigots.  As awful as that was Gallagher still had moments that I just couldn’t help but laugh at. My dad was a huge Gallagher fan so I grew up on this guy and a few of his jokes had me almost in tears. Still the whole thing was just foreplay for the Sledge-o-matic act everyone knows and loves and came for.  Unlike most Gallagher audiences who cover themselves up with plastic sheets, the juggalos awaited food being smashed on them with open arms. Gallagher has his food smashing routine down to a science and it was actually brilliant. He brought people up on stage and let them smash watermelons and played music and gave out hoola hoops and the whole thing turned into a crazy party. It was fucking awesome.

Anyway, pictures of comedians tend to be pretty boring, but there are a lot of crazy ones of Galagher. I pretty much ruined my camera shooting them so I hope you enjoy them.
