Guess what’s back muthafackos? Insane Clown Posse in NYC, juggalos return to Driven By Boredom and everything is right with the world.  ICP brought their American Psycho tour to Hammerstein Ballroom. They didn’t sell it out like they did the much smaller Gramercy Theater last time they were in town but it was still packed with juggalos, juggalettes and a few hipster kids there to gawk at actual real life ‘los and ‘letts.

My juggalette life partner Village Voice staff reporter Camille Dodero and I showed up too late to catch the Wolfpac who put on an insane show that was a five AM highlight of the Gathering of the Juggalos. This guy Big Hutch played next and juggalos did not give a shit about them. They did some sort of half N.W.A. cover so I support that. Psychopathic artist Blaze Ya Dead Homie was up next and juggalos do give a shit about Blaze. He was recently arrested with the next act Twiztid for felony weed possession a few tour stops back so that’s a thing. Twiztid I listened to back in 1998 and every time I wear my Twiztid t-shirt to one of these juggalo events someone tries to buy it off me. I also got to hang out with them for a while during this interview and they actually seem like really good dudes so I am officially pro Twiztid.

The Insane Clown Posse of course headlined and I am pretty sure they played the same show at the Gathering of the Juggalos but it was a pretty different thing indoors and without 20,000 juggalos hanging out in a field surrounded by carnival games. It was still pretty wild and most of the hipster kids who looked pretty bored most of the night started to get pretty into it. I ran into my old friend Charlotte there and she and her friends seemed to be having a lot of fun. Two of her super cute friends were really into it so I taught them juggalo gang signs and they ended up covered in Faygo. I don’t think the dudes they were with were trying to get their snap backs wet but I am sure they had more fun than they thought.

The thing about ICP is that even if you go there to make fun of people it is kinda impossible not to have fun when ICP starts throwing Faygo and it sort of seems like the world might end. Plus juggalos are fucking nice as hell. Nik from Monkeys on Crack drove me home and bought me food on the way. I also recognized by a bunch of juggalos and they all seemed like big Driven By Boredom fans. So fuck it, I got Family love, whoop whoop, etc. See you all at the next Gathering.
