Is it going to work? MIKE E. Everything else was just a bonus. If all I got was a concert in a parking lot, I was fine.
I was sold. And online we met somebody else that was going, so we met her at Greyhound station and she came with us. It was 26 hours there and 29 back. The Greyhound lost our luggage on the way there, too, so that was also fun. We had our wallets and the clothes on our backs. The trip was pretty awesome. You get some particular characters that jump on and off the bus. We had our bus pulled over because we had some runaways on it. As we went on, Juggalos started jumping on more and more and more.
Back then, as today, your first response is a whoop whoop. I do remember the front desk people kind of raising an eyebrow, but they were polite. There were no big-time shenanigans going on, because there was only a few of us that were staying there. But it was kind of funny to walk into this fancy hotel, and seeing kids with facepaint on and spider legs in their hair and different color hair and whatnot just chilling out in the lobby.
We fancy now. So here we are, 1, miles away from home, and we had no place to crash. That was our first adventure, trying to find a new hotel spot. There were definitely some Juggalos already staying there. Early in the afternoon, like noon the day before. So I remember I get to the venue and me and a few Juggalos are out there spraying Faygo and hanging out.
And he drove in, slammed on the brakes and popped open the doors, and he must have had 2-liters stacked in this thing and he emptied them into the parking lot, and ninjas came running like roaches for the pop. In my opinion, it was the first official Faygo Armageddon, and we did it right there in the parking lot. There were a ton of Juggalos wrapped around the building. People sprayed Faygo on everybody, everybody was sticky.
I remember seeing some guys that were powerbombing each other into a dumpster over and over again. My dad, for the most part, dropped me off and he hung out in the car. And he would come back repeatedly with Faygo.
So he would show up every hour or two and he would have the whole car filled with Faygo. And he would bring cheeseburgers for people and hand out a bunch of food. So he was the first official Jugga-dad, so to speak. We spent all day and night just throwing Faygo and hanging out. And we got down to the venue and the line was already 3. As different as we are, we have that common band, and it felt like a family.
I remember we took a bunch of those dumpsters on wheels, and we started filling them with empty Faygo bottles, and people started climbing fences and diving off and doing wrestling moves into the dumpsters. There was one kid who climbed on top of the Novi Center somehow and he jumped off the roof into this garbage dumpster full of 2 liters.
We were just out there acting crazy. I remember some guy had a convertible hooptie with some phat speakers and everybody crowded around it, and we all just sat there in silence listening to Violent J on the radio.
It was cool because we were at the Gathering waiting for the doors to open, and our hero, Violent J, is on the radio hyping it up, and we were right there about to go in. But I remember flying back into Detroit and seeing Juggalos at the airport. That was like the first real sign that people are coming in.
And then driving to the Novi Expo Center, same thing. We were seeing people in cars the closer we got. It started getting exciting. It was way bigger than any of us thought it was going to be. I remember pulling up and seeing all the cars, it was like holy expletive! We had no idea what to expect, we had never done that before. We had never put on something of that magnitude by ourselves, taking care of everything and all that.
So it was phenomenal. We were dumbfounded. It turned out to be great, it was the the start of something beautiful, obviously. I kind of thought it would be like a concert, a bunch of Michigan people, right? It was Washington, Texas, Louisiana, Maine. All the license plates were from all over! Florida, all over the place. It was insane! Right off the bat, I knew this was probably going to go on for a while. They started to look at the crowd, and there was one incident of spray paint on a wall, just a small tag, and they really were upset about that and I had to talk them down.
Doors for the first day were set to open at 3 p. It was a learning process. That year, we were just trying to get through it. We bit off more than we could chew. It was probably two of the hardest days of my life when the events were going on, and probably the hardest four days of my life when you count set-up days. When it came time to open doors on that first day, there was a line of Juggalos that had to have been at least a couple thousand Juggalos.
We got some news back, the people that were running the convention center, they were really nervous about it. So we needed every last minute. Finally, they just opened the doors. And this is probably about 20 minutes before doors were supposed to open, so none of our workers were in place. We were having a last-minute meeting with everyone, trying to explain everything that was going on. So when they opened doors, a flood of Juggalos came in, and the first thing they hit was merch area, and nobody was there.
And so this looting started, where people were just grabbing stuff. When I came around the corner, I saw it from a distance, and I started running over there, and this group of Juggalos jumped behind the merch booth and they stopped everyone from looting. It was such a show of respect and love.
I had it out for her bad. So we hired her at the Gathering to be one of the ring girls to hold the cards up in between matches. And I remember when I got there, the first person I saw was Spice. I was clearly trying to show this beautiful woman around, and they just were merciless! In four seconds, there were hundreds of them all around us. And I felt like such an idiot, because I always she thought I did that on purpose. It was really uncomfortable. I just thought we had time, like they would have held doors back for me to finish.
We were trying to be very welcoming to people, thanking them for showing up. You have to understand, this is a million years ago, this is before VIPs, this is before Cameos, this is before the artist accessibility age. This was the days when people bought your record and wrote you a letter with a pen.
To really be grassroots and shaking hands, having people tell you how much you mean to them and cry, it was moving. To have someone tell you to your face how much you mean to them and not through a computer screen, it means a lot.
It was my first anything as Blaze. The first day I had nothing scheduled, I got to take it all in. I walked around with Twiztid the entire day. I flew under the radar the entire time and I got to experience the entire convention.
