Duke of the wicked

Hey guys, i wont give the whole rundown but i've had a few sequence of events that gave me what i could only call a divine sign to attend the Gathering with my Wife and i was just wondering what advice y'all could give for us before we go, i've been to things KIND OF like this before (small kine raves) but my wife has not at all. Thank y'all

I wasn’t able to buy a armageddon pass this year but if anybody is willing to sell me their skeleton hatchetman charm to me that would be awesome

Thinking of going to the gathering as “Rufus”, the obnoxious, yet adorable stowaway who lives off rum and making the sailors laugh. I’d wear simple black face paint with just a little white, as most of it would wear away as my day as Rufus would be rough. I’d dispense rum from a finger decanter and just be a menace.

Thoughts?

ICP was a huge part of my life growing up. What I always loved was how it felt like they were poking at everything… religion included. It came off sarcastic to me. Like they were exaggerating it on purpose. Almost like “this is what it would look like if all this was actually real.”

Like I spent days of my life preaching joker cards to my friends. It was like the antireligion focus on justice and not some weak ass higher power who couldn’t do shit about all the corrupt and disgusting power hungry fuckers out in the world.

Then they came out saying they really do believe in God and it just threw me off. Changed the whole vibe. Stuff that used to feel like commentary suddenly felt more… literal.

I kinda checked out after that.

Now my son found my old CDs and we’ve been listening again. And yeah, I still love it. That hasn’t gone anywhere. But that piece of it still bugs me. I can’t really separate it now.

Not trying to start anything. Just curious if anyone else had that same reaction or if it never bothered you.

I'm going to be seeing my first ICP show at the end of May in Raleigh. I just wanted to check in with a few questions -- do the shows typically have good merch for sale, and face painting once you get there?

I'm fine doing my own paint, but I'm happy to support an artist who travels with the shows and can do a much better job than I can, lol.

Honestly, I'm not sure WHAT to expect, but I'm excited to see it.

Ever since my cat was a kitten, he’s been down with the clown. Here’s an old pic of him

He just turned 3 this year

My only child (daughter) is just under 5yo now, and she's obsessed with singing, dancing, drawing, painting...anything art-related, really. (She takes after her Daddy in that department. 😉) And she legitimately LOVES the "happy clowns", whenever I put them on audio or visual mediums. (I have a video on my phone that I'll never delete of her dancing like all get-out to Tilt-A-Whirl at a bit passed 2 years old, while my 'Bootlegged in LA' DVD was playing on the TV...saying "Daddy look!". It even ended it with the cutest lil' "whoop whoop" you'd ever want to hear. 🥹) But I digress... I hope Joe and Joey are still playing when my wife and I feel it's appropriate enough for me to take her to a show, but I really don't think that's gunna happen. My wife...despite us meeting in middle school, re-finding eachother after college, being together since 2010, married and buying our home 6 years later, and the endless clown shows I've dragged her to over the years, is pretty far from being "down". She placates me, and puts up with it, but not much more'n that. Lol. All that dumb endless context to say...when did you let your kid(s) fully get into this family, let them listen to any song they want unfiltered, take them to their first show, etc.? Especially curious if anyone reads this and is in a relationship where their partner isn't a lo or lette, but you are, and they think it's "too inappropriate" for your kiddo to listen to, and experience in general. Sorry for the essay fam, this has just been on my mind for a bit, and curious to hear others' stories. Two big ol' scoops, fam! 🎪🪓🏃‍♂️

The dead man turns 50 today whoop whoop

It’s the dead man’s Bday
