ZUGGALOS! You have been waiting, and here it is. For your MP3 enjoyment, on your immediate right, you will see "Cry" by Zug Izland. This is a "cover" of "Cry Little Sister" which appeared on The Lost Boys soundtrack many years ago. Anyways, they played this song live at Freedom Hill, and it was soon on 101.1 WRIF. So props to them and OD for spinning it consistantly, and to loyal PTer and Board Dweller KOC for hooking up the MP3. Hopefully zuggalos.com, zugsyn.com, and zugnation.com can get it up also and continue to spread the Toxic Waste across the Internet.

Again, hopefully the fellows at Psychopathic let us have this up for a while. If not, I understand. I mean, shit.. half of the album is out there on MP3. But a lot of people get more into Zug with every new song, so I think we're only helping to sell more CDs. But yeah.. enjoy that, and until the next update, I am out.

[TaDow] 08.28.02

Today is kinda slow, after all of the news from the past few days, so I figured I'd come in for a quick, but meaningful update. First, Chris is heading off to school, so he will not be updating for a week or so. If you recentlt sent us an email to be added to the List, that should be up by late this weekend. If Monday comes, and you aren't up, shoot me an email personally, and I will handle it.

Next up, Hallowicked is just around the corner, and I am always here to hook it up with the help. I was helping someone with the area, and I found what seems to be a very good hotel for you out-of-towners. Check out this hotel, which is just THIS CLOSE to the venue. Three miles ain't shit if you're driving from Boston, or the STL, or the upper regions of China. On the same tip, for all you Michiganders that choose to get tickets in person and not online or on the phone, since Harmony House went the way of TLC (bankrupt), you may be having trouble knowing where to turn to get tickets this Saturday. Well, you can find the closest Outlet for tickets right here. Not sure where I have to go now.. all I know is to avoid Showermans in Livonia. Fuck that place. If anyone has any questions on the venue, area, parking, etc., again, hit me up. Hallowicked is my favorite event of the year, so I will be glad to help you out. (I'd help you out even if it wasn't Hallowicked. Really!)

Speaking of tickets and events, I emailed Axe the Question the other day, asking why some of the Wraith CD Parties are 10 bucks, while others are cheaper. It seemed that the ICP, Twiztid, and Zug ones were more... maybe because they'd perform? I was told that the price difference was because of the venue, and each MC will have their own unique flavor. Regardless... if everything falls into place, I may be down in Cincy, so we shall see what goes down between now and then.

In other news, WBR has had quite the run for our MP3 over on the right, but I am going to change that as soon as I put this update up. In its place will be the "alternate" version of Cartoon Nightmares by ICP, found on the JagerMusic 2 CD. It's basically the same as the FF3 version, except that Shaggy's first verses aren't reversed. Nothing huge, just a tiny bit of fun. We should have another SWEET MP3 up in a day or so.. hopefully the Suits at Psychopathic allow us to keep them up.

But that is it for me. I will probably take tonight to update some prices, clear up some things, make sure all of the pictures are up to date, etc., so that should be fun. Thanks for checkin us out, as always, and I am out like Nikki McKibbin. 2.

[TaDow] 08.27.02

Ah yes, The Wraith has started to rear its head, and we're here to cover it. Feel free to jet over to ICP.com for a new layout and a new song. I like the song. Fuck the haters.

Also, some new Merch has been put up on the Web Store, but I couldn't find it easily, so just click here to see all of it that is up so far. Not much yet, but I am sure things will be added slowly, or even held back until the CD's release gets closer.

But, as always, that is it. So I bid you good-bye.

[TaDow] 08.26.02

Hmm.. I updated, and it didn't show up. Odd, so here I am again. It's early on Monday, so nothing on the Web Store.. yet. Not sure if they will bust out with some stuff today, or if we have a day of silence before The Wraith Tuesday. Stay tuned.

But the main reason I wanted to update was to share with you another pretty rare item up on ebay. This one is the Big Money Hustlas Gold Plaque that was given away to the Trivia Challenge winner at the Gathering 2001 in Toledo. There have been a lot of one-of-a-kind things floating around lately, so hey, there is another one for the PTers to jump after if you so wish.

But that is it for me with the short update today. So check back for the new Wraith merch in a day or so, and until then... I am out.

[Suplex] 08.18.02

Whuddup Juggalos. Now normally I don't hype up Link Of The Moment auctions that aren't my own, but today is a special exception. What we have here is long time PT'er Phatmotherj and he is auctioning off some COC Promo items that he won at the auctions at the very first GOTJ. Now these items are phat, and of course come with a Certificate Of Authenticity. So if you have some money, I would recomend hitting that up. Anyways, keep watching the webstore, and keep praying that they make a Denver 6th Release Party with Blaze MC'ing... Ay-yay!

[TaDow] 08.22.02

Ah yes, as soon as we catch up, the Web Store drops another load onto our shoulders, at 2am no less. Anyways, this was probably the "best" batch so far, with a few Twiztid jerseys, along with a Blaze and ABK that a lot of people have been looking for. Sizes are a tad limited, but who knows what will be added.

Also, I am sure you have heard of the multiple Wraith Release parties around the country (more to be added, so I have heard.) Anyways, word has it that there will be much Wraith merch available, so be on the lookout for that, and if you pick any up, feel free to get us the scoop on your merch.

But, alas, that is all. So like Terrell Davis's career and knee... I am out.

[TaDow] 08.21.02

Well, another busy day at the Web Store. Not only did they pile on with the Big Money Hustlas merch, but there are a TON of new Basketball jerseys as well. Simply too many to list or post at the moment, so those will all be up later today. We did drop the news on a few of them a few weeks back, so score one for the good guys. Now we will have the pictures to back it up.

I'd also like to mention that if you noticed that it was down, Juggalo-Family.com is back and in business, so go check them out, as you should be doing already. So there it is, that's it. Peace.

[TaDow] 08.19.02

Welcome back to PT. I hope you enjoy your stay with us today. Some news floatin around, so I figured I'd chime in real quick. First up, the Web Store is pumping out even more stuff.. even on the weekend! So check that out daily. We can't even tell you each time something new comes out. We just try and throw it up on here ASAP.

Speaking of new stuff... as you may know, ICP were in California yesterday for Loveline w/ Drew and Adam, and they had an in-store. At the instore, word has it that there were 12" x 12" flats and 18" x 24" posters for The Wraith, as well as a Sampler (Tracks include: Violent J Intro; Clips/Mixes of House of Horrors, Terrible, If, Bring It On, The Neden Game, Piggy Pie, and My Axe; and a track from The Wraith that they closed their Gathering set with). It comes in a plain white paper case. Good items to kick off some Wraith Sections here on PT forsure.

Speaking of new sections.. we were pumping out new shit left and right before the Gathering, then we hit The Wave. Things are settling down from that, so we should be back on track here soon. The ONLY thing that is holding us back is that we want to tinker with some new banners, new graphics, etc. No use in busting out new sections if we will just have to redo stuff. So be on the lookout for a slightly new look within the next few weeks, then boom... off to the races as usual.

But hey, that is it. So I am out.

[Suplex] 08.18.02

Yes, long time no update. Well there is no real trading news... As for site news, the list has been updated so check that out, and basically, just keep your eye on the webstore, because literally every single day there is something new added.... Anyways, Peace.

[TaDow] 08.13.02

Ah yes.. back again, with all the news. First up, the Web Store is back in business, so that is good. They also added a few new stickers, so go check that out if you wish.

Next up, the MP3s over to your right have been updated. They come to you from Detroit rapper White Boy Ric, who we have talked about here before. Anyways, first up there is the track he did with Mike E. Clark. It's only a clip of the song, so if you want the rest, you best buy the CD. The second song I put up.. just because it's cool, and I enjoy Liquid #9, the local group who helped him with that song. So check those out if you want, and if you want the CD, I don't know if his web site has it yet, but I believe Hot Hits is carrying it.

We also have another interesting MP3 that should be up by the end of the week, so stay tuned for that. I think that is it though. I'm out.

[Suplex] 08.10.02

And then it all came crashing down. Over at HatchetGear.com, all links were taken down and this messaged appeared:

ATTENTION!!! IMPORTANT NEWS!!!
Psychopathic Records is shutting down it's webstore for a few days. There are two reasons for this. First, there are some technical problems that have come up that we need to resolve. These problems are solely on our end, and do not affect your usage of the store in any way. Still, they do need to be resolved so that we can continue to accept your orders. Second, we have been reorganizing and cleaning the warehouse. The Gathering, the Big Money Hu$tlas tour, and the Twiztid tour have all resulted in a lot of new merchandise flooding into the store. We have been working to integrate all of this merch, but it's quite a task. We must make room for it on the shelves, get pictures taken, get it up online, etc. Working on this has resulted in a back-log of orders. This temporary shutdown will allow us to catch up on all the many tasks that go into running a webstore. We expect that the shutdown will last no longer than one week. The length of the shutdown is based on the technical problems. The faster that we can get those resolved, the faster the store will be back up and running. Please bear with us during this inconvenience. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY PLACED AN ORDER: Don't fear. If you have already placed an order with us we are still processing it and it will be shipped out as normal. Like normal, if you received an order number, then your order has gone through and everything's OK. If you have any questions about the status of your order, please feel free to email us at merch@insaneclownposse.com

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY EMAILED US WITH A QUESTION OR CONCERN: We have a back-log of emails that have not yet been processed. We apologize for this. We will be taking this shutdown as an opportunity to catch up on all these emails and help you in whatever fashion you need. Thank you for your patience and understanding. We look forward to doing more business with you in the near future.

Well I guess it'll be totally shut down for a week, but on the bright side, I would speculate that when next weeks rolls around, we'll see a massive drop of new merchandise, which should rock. Luckily my order for a new hat has already gone through, and when the store opens up I can order my Blaze charm. Anyways, that's all the news for today, Peace.

[Suplex] 08.09.02

CHARMS! Whuddup Traders. If you haven't all ready, hit up www.HatchetGear.com and peep all the new freshness. In the past couple days we've seen hats, a leather football jersey, and the Camoflauge shirts worn by Lotus at the Gathering. Today we see new charms, one of them being the oh so sweet Blaze Flaming Logo Charm... Those of you who know me know I've already creamed my pants... multiple times. The weird thing is, is that so far there has still been no merchandise from the GOTJ up (Besides Hatchet History, New Lotus, etc) so who knows when that will come.

EDIT: Ok I was surfing on FaygoLuvers.net, and they announced that the Rude Boy would NOT be wrestling at the charity deal which TaDow postedo on yesterday, due to medical problems. That sucks. However, there should be other JCW stars, and shit, it's for charity! Hit it up! Also, if you're looking for the ICP Seminar from the GOTJ, a lot of people have told me they have not been able to find it on Kazaa. Well the guys over at FaygoLuvers.net have it for you to download or hear streaming in RealAudio format! I just finished, and it's the shit. Hopefully people will start getting the video version downloaded, burnt onto CD-rs, traded, etc. and it will become about as rare as a B/B Sampler. Who knows. All I know is I got paid today, so I'm out like 70 bucks as soon as I order the new Blaze charm. Peeeeeace.

[TaDow] 08.07.02

Big day here, so let me dive right into it. First off, everyday, the Web Store is pumping out new merch. Today they released the Leather Psychopathic jerseys, and the Camo Hatchetman shirts. Very cool indeed.

Next bit of news.. I am a little behind, so bear with us. Last week, we axed our Bad Traders section. Since PT was knee-high, we've had problems with the Bad Traders page in the form of people on it not thinkin they should be. We've gotten numerous threats, and finally we just decided it wasn't worth it. We apologize to anyone who used that, and to anyone in the future who spins "Bones A'Plenty" in the game of Trading. Perhaps this will spin the trading world a new loop. We shall see.

Up next, my producers are telling me that there is a charity wrestling show in the Detroit area this weekend, and SCHEDULED to be there is Psychopathic's own Rude Boy, as well as a few JCW'ers.

On Sunday, August 11th 2002, The Michigan Independent Wrestling scene and Sunnybrook Golf and Bowl (7191 E. 17 Mile, Sterling Heights, MI) proudly present WfM 2002: "Workers for Merkers" - A Special ALL-DAY LONG cancer benefit marathon!

Doors open to Sunnybrook at 11 am for bowling, with the WfM Rock and Wrestling show starting at 5 pm. The WfM 2002 Main Event will feature King of the Indies champion GABRIEL BRIMSTONE and a mystery Partner vs. the New Triple Threat (Breyer Wellington, Truth Martini and Anthony Rivera)!! IWR CFO and Sunnybrook owner Randy Shenck will act as the special guest referee of this match!

NOTE: As of 8/7 Psychopathic Records /JCW's own THE RUDE BOY has signed on to appear in a match with a mystery opponent and will have tons of rare JUGGALO flavor to raffle off, as well as posing for photos and signing autographs!

Other signed matches: THE BUMP-N-UGLIES vs. THE RENEGADES vs. THE DESTROYERS OF THE UNIVERSE in a three way tag team brawl! Gigolo Mark Gjoka with Ica vs. Andy Muskat; Deathdealer Tommy Starr vs. The Necro Butcher; and many more IWR and Michigan indy superstars to be announced very soon.

So there you have it. If you enjoy local wrestling, bowling, charity, and live music from the Bump-N-Uglies, Demonsweat, and The Jim Merker Band, then hit that up. And if there is no Psychopathic flavor there... then I dunno what to tell ya. But that's it for me for now. Peace.

[TaDow] 08.03.02

Ah yes. It was the day. Zug Izland at Freedom Hill, and it was simply awesome. Great set, great weather minus my sunburn. Except for only 25% of the kids getting their autographs, all was well.

Speaking of Zug Izland.. have you seen the new and improved Zuggalos.com? MP3s, Buddy Icons, and the works in a new layout. I gotta give props to any and all Zug sites, for real. I live through you guys, cause I wanted to do that shit the day I came home from seeing them the first time.

And what you may care about - New Merch. And a lot of it. I am sure I am forgetting some stuff, but new today I saw a TON of new Basketball jerseys - Black Hatchetman, Green/Blue Zug, and all 5 Jokers Cards in the style of the new Baseball/Football jerseys (Like the blue COC with 'Carnival' across the front'); A new ICP Collage shirt w/ "ICP: Ten Years of Choppin'" on the back; A shirt with the same front as the HRT Tour shirt, but just a generic ICP on the back I believe; a new two-tone Zug Football jersey; a white two-toned Psy. Football jersey; Red HatchetGear Baseball jersey. I think that was it.

So yeah, we shall see if any of that stuff hits the web store or anywhere else. Props to everyone I saw out there, like Tommy, Vince, Reggie, the Faygoluvers Crew, Big Ross, Big Corey, Little American Juggalo and all of those who shaped my day one way or the other. So, with that, stay tuned later for the merch to be updated from this show, the new Zippos on the Web Store right now, some more Gathering merch, and more! I am out. 2.

*Update* - We will try to add this stuff tonight, as well perhaps shuffle up some of the Catagories a tad. Stay tuned for that. You may also notice there is no more Bad Traders List. I will update about that, and mention a few people that I know that have some great stuff for sale tomorrow. Stay tuned.
