sometime back in 1998, the wwf brought the insane clown posse in along with 'the oddities.' im pretty sure id heard of them at the time, but that was the first time i actually "experienced" them. from that point i was a fan. a juggalo as some would say. i bought some cd's (with money orders) through amazon and even got the vhs tape. shockumentary maybe? the one thing missing was to see them live.
in 2003 i started going to concerts. before that i thought they were big events that only people with lots of money could go to. not sure where i got that idea, but thats how it looked to me at the time. anyways, i saw that icp was coming around with kottonmouth kings and bone. icp? kmk? btnh? all in one show. whats not to like about that. plans were made. tickets were bought. and off to atlanta we went.
the show was everything i expected from what id heard. however, i found out once i got there that my expectations were quite low because what they delivered was something amazing. the faygo showers and glitter guns and the energy of the crowd made for quite the slew of memories. one of the biggest parts that i remember of the night was crowd surfing and then stopping atop the crowd and violent j spraying me with faygo. that was probably the point where i was like, "yes. this."
i wish i had pictures of the aftermath of the show. rocking the glitter-fro, brandy's pink panther sweatshirt that was a couple sizes too small, and winders ultra stiff camo pants. it had to be awesome. i had glitter in my hair for days even after multiple washes. even got called out for it at work. and we picked up a hitch hiker. thats my life. and im ok with that.
the drive back kinda sucked. it was around 4 hours back to south carolina and the only cd i had access to was 'open your eyes' by goldfinger. it clocks in just over 37 minutes. so yeah...it was repeated multiple times.
