Juggalo

Two weeks ago I arrived at the shop.  This is what I saw when I showed up…

 

As you, the reader, might guess, I was a little taken aback.  “What on earth!” I mumbled under my breath.  What could possibly possess these teenagers to dress like such buffoons.  Time passed and my usual day continued.  I quickly forgot about the ridiculously  face-painted teens and their strange musky aroma.

Around noon, I stepped outside once again to grab a little lunch from the Chinese spot next door.  As I took a left out of my building I spotted yet another strange creature.  This time it looked like this…

” Jesus Christ, now how the fuck am I going to eat” I thought to myself.  I ordered my Orange Chicken, or whatever and went back to the shop.  I was determined to find out what the hell was going on next to my store.  I got on Google, and typed in the band that was playing next door.  T, I typed,than W, then I, then Z, then T, then I, and then D.  Twizted, what the fuck is a twizted?  I soon found out that it was a Juggalo group, thanks to Wikipedia.  Juggalo?  What hell is a juggalo?  Well you don’t know like I didn’t know let me show you what Wikipedia has to say.”Juggalo or Juggalette (the latter being feminine) is a name given to fans of Insane Clown Posse or any other Psychopathic Records hip hop group”

So all of these clown faced idiots like the ICP.  It makes total sense I guess.  Idiots liking other idiots.  After I found out what all these people in funny makeup were doing outside my store, I went outside and took pictures.  Here are some of the best ones.

 

After I snapped these shots, I went back into the shop and continued my day just like every other.  But as time went on, these “Juggalos” kept coming in and asking to use the rest room.  At first I said no, because I considered them inferior humans to myself.  But after talking to them I realized that they were in fact normal people, and I would let them use the bathroom.  Except I had one condition…

They had to let me take their picture if they wanted to use the rest room.  This photo of this adorable couple was the only Juggalo shot that I was fortunate enough to snap in my fine establishment.

As time went on, more and more Juggalos began to show up.  The marquee said that the doors were to open at six, but that was not the case.  At seven, when I closed, there were thousands of them! All lined up on 200 S.  I, in all my life, have never, ever seen such fanatical fans.  These people had a type of companionship and friendship to each other that was amazing.  Considering that most of these people were total strangers to each other, they all acted like they were the best of friends.  While waiting in like they would all chant “FAMILY” over and over again.  Also when ever they saw someone they knew they would scream ” WOOT WOOT” instead of “Hey, what’s up” or ” Hello old friend, it’s so good to see you”.

Also as time passed I started to notice that the ages of these people were increasing.  This crowd wasn’t solely pre-teens and teenagers.  There were also adults in this crowd.  Adult couples who looked like they got a babysitter, dressed up in ridiculous clown makeup, and went out for a wonderful evening.  Here are some examples.

 

The photo below is a little on the mind-blowing side, because this lady told me that she was here with her daughters.  What would you do if you went to a show with your mom, and she dressed like this…

 

All in all it was by far the most exciting day ever at Brick and Mortar.  I should have bought a ticket because i bet inside was absolutely insane.  Oh well, next time.  But if any of you ever get a chance to see Juggalos in action, I would for sure recommended it.
