Okay, I promised two updates today but I lied. It’s 8pm already and no one wants a post at fucking 11pm so you get this one today, another one tomorrow and then back to naked people and party pictures on Monday. Let’s get into this shit.

Day three of the Gathering was my longest day there. I got there early cause I wanted to shoot a bunch of day time stuff for my “Juggalo Island” gallery. (Bonus content: watch this fucking video.) After being outside for an hour I wanted to die so I headed over to Psychopathic Radio to take some photos of the madness that Wolfpac’s gets into every day. The first event they had was a juggalo drinking contest. They had two juggalos take 10 shots each. One of them made it about two shots in before puking. The other crushed his. After he was finished and the other guy was done vomiting, the sick juggalo finished the rest of his shots. I saw him 45 minutes later and he had completely lost his fucking mind. Good times.  After that they had a round of the infamous juggalo fight club. Two brothers faced off and kicked the shit out of each other for three rounds. That was real fucking enjoyable.

At some point during all that my GOTJ date Gia Paige put stickers on her nipples which made the rest of the day interesting because every five minutes we’d be stopped by some juggalo who wanted to smoke weed with her or take her photo or in the case of a cop want to take her stickers off and put new ones on. Another cop just said “Niiiicee” to her which was creepier than anything the juggalos did. How delightful.

After that the bands started playing. I shot a mosh pit and ate a far too spicy burrito while waiting for Waka Flocka to go on. He played one of the best sets I have ever seen at the Gathering in 2015 and I was really psyched for his set. He did not disappoint. He called on juggalos to get him drunk and people threw beers at him which he caught and chugged. He then was handed a bottle of Fireball which he chugged as well. He jumped into the crowd and played several songs in there while juggalos and security chased him around. I jumped over the photo pit and followed him too. I even got off a couple selfies. After he got back on stage he brought some girls out of the crowd and that was fun too. Overall I took way too many photos of him and posted way too many of them here. Enjoy.

The night ended with fucking Vanilla Ice headlining. He was mostly promoting a home improvement show on the DIY Network or something. Honestly I stuck around for two songs, took some photos and went back to my hotel cause I was exhausted and let’s just say I wanted to hang out with Gia Paige more than I wanted to see a rap rock version of Ice Ice Baby. Sue me.

Now click here for a ton of mildly NSFW photos from the 2017 Gathering of the Juggalos in Oklahoma City. 

This is it. The very last 2015 Gathering of the Juggalos update. You made it! Now we can go back to naked porn stars and hipster parties and shit. Get excited. As soon as I get back from vacation I will hit you with a few naked babes to make up for all the juggalos.

This post is just a dump of everything left over from the Gathering. It starts with the very first photo I took of a car that was being signed by everyone and ends with a photo of some wrestlers moving a safe. (Just FYI I was told on good authority that the car was signed by Tech N9ne’s tattoo artist so it’s pretty valuable.)

In here we have a lot of juggalo photos that weren’t quite good enough to make the Juggalo Portraits gallery plus photos of stuff for sale, some crowd shots, pictures of juggalo campsites and vehicles and some of the Wolfpac/ Psychopathic Radios events that didn’t make it in the fight club update. There’s also some juggalo tattoos and some pictures of juggalos getting tattoos. No photo of my new juggalo tattoo though…

So that’s it for the photos, but I also wanted to include a list of all of the articles and photo galleries I had published in different outlets across the internet.

Now click here to see the massive gallery of the rest of my 2015 Gathering of the Juggalos photos!

Last year at the Gathering of the Juggalos a guy named Nebraska Warrior volunteered to fight anyone, without gloves, during the live Psychopathic Radio broadcast hosted by the band Wolfpac. Before Nebraska all the Psychopathic Radio fights were done with boxing gloves and head gear and on roller skates. It started off as this funny thing but in 2013 he and a guy named Burnout went at it until they decided to take off the skates and gloves. It was one of the most brutal things I had ever witnessed and although Nebraska lost he instantly gained juggalo infamy at the Gathering.

Fast forward to last year and he beat everyone who challenged him and with my pals at the Riverfront Times in St. Louis we published this article about Nebraska. I also published even more photos of the fights on DBB over here.

So this year Nebraska was one of the first people I saw at the Gathering. I asked him if he was going to fight again. He was all about it. The next day I saw a juggalo bleeding from the face and I asked him what happened. He had just been in a fight at the Psychopathic Radio stage and lost. I asked him who he fought… It was Nebraska. I couldn’t believe I missed it.

When I saw Nebraska again he promised he was going to fight again and this time I wasn’t going to miss it. The next day I watched him destroy a much larger man who looked like a bruiser. In that guys defense he took everything Nebraska gave him and almost looked like he was enjoying it. When I saw that guy on Saturday he had a huge black eye but was still smiling.

I took a bunch of photos of the fight and Noisey ended up running them in this story about juggalo bare-knuckle boxing.

The next day I watched Nebraska fight a third challenger and made the guy tap out so quickly that I barely got any pictures. The ones I did get were too dark because by the time I figured out my settings it was over. I saw the challenger later that day and he told me he really won the fight because he made Nebraska’s nose bleed and he only tapped out because he didn’t like being choked… right.

When it was all over Nebraska had destroyed three dudes and his only wound was a slightly bloody nose that he told me he was glad to have finally received. On top of all that Nebraska is a great dude and is the nicest most peaceful juggalo when he’s not beating peoples faces in.

Now go look at this gallery of Nebraska Warrior taking on all comers during Wolfpac’s live Psychopathic Radio show. 

One of my favorite moments of Gatherings past was when Wolfpac while hosting Psychopathic Radio had people box blindfolded on roller skates. It seemed like a funny idea, but it wasn’t until two fighters decided to take off the skates, blindfolds and boxing gloves that it got good. I happened to be passing by on a golf cart when I jumped out to photograph the end of the fight. The winner didn’t matter because both fighters brutalized each other and hugged at the end. It was both brutal and inspiring.

Cut to a few years later one of those fighters was back. His name is Nebraska and oddly enough he is from Nebraska. He fought not one, but TWO fighters and beat them both soundly ending the second fight with a knee to the guts that made it pretty much impossible for the other fighter to breathe. Any fighter knows that it’s the gut shot that will put you down before the head shot and Nebraska worked the body after taking several shots to the head.

There was a fight in between featuring a Canadian grappler and a dude who seemed to relish getting punched in the face. It ended after four rounds with the Canuck giving up after realizing he was going to have to murder the other fighter if he wanted to end it. He ended up forfeiting rather than destroying the other dude which I am pretty sure he was capable of. He got made fun of but it was a pretty reasonable move.

The whole event was MC’d by Wolfpac & the Kottonmouth Kings and you can read a more elaborate play by play from my friend Drew Ailes who wrote about the event for the Village Voice. There’s a profile of Nebraska in there as well. He seems like a really good dude. Worth reading.

So I am still on vacation until tomorrow but I figured I could a little bit of work done. I only have two more Gathering of the Juggalos updates left so I figured I would get this one up today and then we will be done tomorrow and we can get back to normal around here. I love my juggalos but I can’t stop dreaming that I am still at the Gathering so I think I need to get back to tits and NYC party photos or I might lose my mind. I might not get back til NYC until late tomorrow so my last update might actually come on Wednesday, but whatever, we are moving forward soon!

So my second to last update is about  Psychopathic Radio aka W Fuck Off hosted by my scumfuck pals in Wolfpac. Aside from putting on crazy performances as a band, they also do this insane radio show twice a day during the Gathering. It’s pretty much your standard shock jock morning radio program… except that they play mostly Psychopathic Records music and they ruin peoples lives. They make people beat the shit out of each other on stilts, they force people to consume massive amounts of booze until they puke and they make people take shots of 1,000,000 SHU hot sauce. They also have strippers on stage dancing around doing whatever strippers do.

In past years I spent a lot of time hanging out with the Wolfpac crew because their fucked up contests and naked girls make for great photos, but this year I didn’t bring my own car and I was subjected to the whims of my fellow juggalo journalists who were not that interested in getting down to the camp grounds at a reasonable hour. Once I finally got down there every day I had other work to do so I really did’t get much of a chance to photograph Wolfpac’s W Fuck Off show, but when I did I got some good shots like these two dudes beating the shit out of each other. You might recognize the guy in the blue helmet as the dude who got his ass kicked last year. This year he returned with a vengeance and beat the dude in the red helmet pretty severely. Good times.

So yeah long story short there are some crazy photos in this gallery but not as many as in previous years. It’s still properly NSFW and there is some fun stuff but if you want to see more search the archives for Psychopathic Radio. It’s worth a look if you haven’t seen this stuff before. Now, I just have one more GOTJ of the Juggalos update to go and we get back to real life. Whoop whoop!

Click here to see all the photos from Wolfpac’s insane Psychopathic Radio show on W Fuck Off live from the Gathering of the Juggalos!

W-Fuck-Off Radio returned to The Gathering of the Juggalos. Hosted by the dudes in Wolfpac, Psychopathic Radio is a one stop shop to see totally fucking wild shit at The Gathering of the Juggalos. For four hours every day they mix insane clown tunes with making people do horrible things and then they add in a bunch of strippers. Aside from taking photos of topless girls dancing on poles I shot three actual events that Wolfpac was instigating. The first was a drinking contest involving four beer bongs, four shots of vodka and four shots of hot sauce. Four people did this and only two of them made it through without quitting. One of those two guys then went on to face another guy who had not been drinking in a vodka shot contest. You had to do a beer bong and then do 10 straight shots in a row. The sober guy did his 10 shots and then started vomiting. The other guy who in total did about 5 beers and 15 shots of vodka was totally fine and won a bunch of prizes. I am sure he died several minutes after I left.

The next thing I saw was kinda stupid. They had a tug-a-war contest with one guy on each team in roller skates and another guy blindfolded. In the middle was a baby pool full of thumbtacks and pond water and other horrible things so that they would get nice and infected. Unfortunately no one really fell in the baby pool so they just put the thumbtacks everywhere and people got them in their hands and knees and stuff which was kinda funny but it was a lot of build up for mediocre results.

The third event went above and beyond. I was riding around with the Psychopathic publicist on her golf cart when I saw people just punching each other on stage. I jumped off and ran over and it seemed there was some sort of gimmick originally where they had their hands tied or something but by the time I got there these dudes were just punching each other in the face. This black dude with burn scars all over his body seemed to have some Muy Thai training and ended the fight by kneeing the other dude in his head over and over again. It was fucking brutal. Both dudes stood up to a lot of blows and I was really impressed. The dude who won gave all his prizes to the crowd… he was just into it for the glory. It was one of the best things I saw all week and I took a lot of 35mm shots too. I can’t wait to get that shit developed. Amazing.

The Gathering of the Juggalos is a yearly music festival in Cave In Rock, IL created by the Insane Clown Posse that I have now photographed three times. Every year it produces some of the best photos I have ever taken. To see my complete GOTJ archives please click here.
