PT.Com News - July 2004

[PJ Punk] 07.29.04

Ah yes... I just wanted to check back in quickly and let everyone know a few things. First off, I am getting lots of good emails about new stuff from the Gathering. I haven't had a chance to go through it all, btu it's looking very good. So thank you to anyone who is sending stuff in. I already see some are the same items, so even if your pictures don't make it, your help was MUCH appreciated, seriously. I still have a bunch of non-GOTJ stuff flooding my mailbox I am trying to get out there also, so.. yes.

Also, I added all of the people to The List that were in my mailbox, so they should all be a go. I got three from the same city, which was weird... much love to Levittown, NY, I suppose. Anyhoo, that's about it for me right now. I'll see you on the next update.

And then HatchetGear.com comes through. I hate to admit that I totally forgot that they would probably be putting up all of the stuff there. Yeah more work! Anyways, you may have noticed that the ABK and Rydas Cds were there, but they have also added an ABK headband, a Wraith hat, two of the shirts from the Gathering, and a tie-dyed gimmick that... I dunno, I kinda like. So check those out!

I still haven't gotten through all of my emails, but I see them, so hang tight! I think I am getting laid off of my job tonight, so that will give me plenty of time to catch up on stuff. So until then!

[Petey Woop Wood] 07.22.04

Everyday with the updates. I still haven't gotten to The List, but I shall, I promise! We've just had a lot of Gathering stuff, which today included the Black Madrox Afraid of Me, the new Black/Silver Mostasteless, and the Red GOTJ04 Crew shirts, as well as the GOTJ04 Jersey. And I still have emails in my box that I need to get through, including one with a picture of an Auction Item! PT's comin through...

I also forgot about this, but there was an ABK single at the Gathering, and if anyone has info on it, boom. Alas, I could already have it in my mailbox, but in case I don't, there it is.

I think that is all for today. Thank you to Miss Michelle and RM836 for the pictures and info so far, and to everyone else who has, or will be sending stuff. I KNOW I will be back tomorrow with more stuff from the Gathering, so check us out then.

[PJ Hater] 07.21.04

The updates flow like water from the river. All of the new shirts have been added, which include Blaze (Green Graffiti; Blaze '04), ABK (Grey Deaths Head), Twiztid (Mirror Mirror; Blue/Orange Guts), Psychopathic (Psy Tag; Blue Juggalo Tag; Choppin Hatchet Style; Red Psy. Circle '04), Gathering (7 District; Crew; Burgandy Shield Logo; Black and Red Campfire Logos), and of course ICP (Most Hated Band; Flaming Logo 2004; Hells Pit, HP Hand; HP Lyrics; HP ICP). Whew. And there are still a bunch of jerseys that need to be added, but I need pictures! So if you got anything like the Wraith Hand, or the Camo GOTJ jerseys, hit us up! We also need ABK's new cd/track listing, as well as his poster that was for sale.

That's all for me, because I need to sleep. Hopefully, more pictures roll in, and we can polish off the Gathering with the quickness. Later on

[Peter Malenko] 07.20.04

I still have a job after the Gathering amazingly, so my large update will have to hold off for a little bit. I have all of the Shirts pics and the SV jersey, but I just need to do them all up. But for now, we should have up the new Blaze shirts and jersey, the Rydas CDs, and the Program. Speaking of pictures, if anyone took pictures of ICP/Funk, or Sabu with their JCW jerseys, I'd like to put those up.

If you are bored and not getting enough GOTJ stories, check out the Message Board, as that is the biggest topic of discussion. But right now, I need to catch some Zzz's before work, so I shall be leaving you! See ya soon.

[Peter Bitchface] 07.19.04

Ah, the Gathering. I literally just got home, but hey... I hopped online. I figured that I would give a quickie rundown of events as seen through my eyes. Nothing too major, nothing too personal, nothing in any particular order... just me blabbering as I wait for dinner to be done.

The concerts were pretty decent. Nothing -spectacular- in my eyes, but solid sets from everyone. Kurrupt left because of people throwing shit, ODB messed up his set and the last two songs didn't work, and DJ Swamp was DJ Swamp. Otherwise, everything went pretty smoothly.
JCW was very nice. This is where I spent the majority of my time for the three days, basking in all of the matches. Terry Funk, Dusty Rhodes, and Jerry Lawler all showed up, and did very well. They even put over the other talent, which is very cool of them. Nosawa lost the JCW title to Kid Kash on Day 3. Zach Gowen, Ian Rotten, and Mr Insanity also were there unannounced along with the regulars of Necro Butcher, Breyer Wellington, the Lynch Mob, Monty Brown, and the rest of the guys. The weekend also marked the retirements of Tommy Starr and Rude Boy, who went over on Funk and Rhodes in a three way. Except for the sunburn I got watching it, JCW was highly enjoyable this year.
I didn't personally hit up any seminars, but I think the big news from them has already been posted on RJ and such. I did, however, get to the Mystery Seminar, which was a short performance by the Rydas. Very cool. Of note... ABK/Sawd Off's gimmick appears to be that he has one arm. I dunno if that is mantioned on the new CD, since everytime I try to listen to it, I get distracted, but yeah... I hadn't heard that from their few shows on the Lotus Tour, so there you go. Speaking of ABK, whenever announced somewhere over the weekend, he was seriously getting the loudest pop of anyone under ICP. We also heard he sold the most merch of anyone under ICP. That is very odd to me, but the kids must love themselves some ABK.
Merch Merch... there was a ton of new stuff. I personally only got a little, so I cannot comment on everything personally.. but PT regular RM836 got every shirt I do believe, so pictures will be hooked up soon. As you probably know, ABK's Dirty History was released as well as the Rydas' new CD, as well as the single which was supposed to be given away at the Detroit Lotus show I assume, before it got cancelled. No new Zug or Esham merch that I saw. Blaze has two new shirts, and a new jersey, which I will put up here ASAP. There was a new Lotus basketball jersey... some new novelty items like towels, keychain lights, plastic cups like the ones from a crane game... and obviously the GOTJ Gear and a ton of new ICP/PSY stuff. I don't recall seeing any new Twiztid stuff, although they rereleased the Black/Silver Mostasteless shirt. I'm sure they had something new that I just missed.. I am just drawing a blank.
The "auctions"/Raffle was interesting. I see pluses and minuses to the Raffle, but it seemed to go over well. There were a ton of prizes each day, and it was hard to get at them, so I cannot really report everything that was there. I do know that there was a yellow Violent J SV jersey, which a PTer won. Also on the rareness tip, each day of JCW, ICP wore different color JCW jerseys (so did Terry Funk and Sabu, actually), and onstage, ICP has new personalized "06" jerseys. I think all three JCW Shaggy's got out there.. past that, I am unsure.

I think that is about it really. I'm a little tired, so if I missed anything, I apologize. I would like to mention that the hotel situation was very cool, as many PTers were holding it down, and I had an enjoyable time. There was also a nice PT Pit during Halls of Illusions, and a $92 PT order at White Castle. So yeah... as always, it was a pleasure to meet and hang out with everyone who I saw... unless I didn't like you. I'd also like to thank whoever put the new Zug flat in my car window. But regardless, I am done for now. I shall return with updates on Merch as they roll in, and with the handful of List Updates that I have in my mailbox.

[Peter J. Roadway] 07.14.04

Ah, it's the eve of the Gathering, and there are people as we speak on their way to Ohio. This will probably be my last update until I get back, so enjoy it while you can! The new Rydas CD will be out, as well as much, much new merch, so as always, if you get any pictures, info, etc, please hook it up so that the next update will be a full and complete one.

Umm... yeah, not much to really speak about. I am going to try to update The List before I leave, but that will be about it. So... yeah, I am off to get some sleep. I'll see you with my GOTJ Review next week!

[Petey Shakes] 07.03.04

It's the Fourth of July weekend, so that means... um, not much. Just a day off of work for some people. Anyways, in my neck of the woods, it means... that the Gathering is less than two weeks away. That's real weird to me. And for you that means that not much is popping here, but you know the landslide will come soon enough. On that tip, I probably will not be updating here on the main page much leading up to the Gathering. I'll add new stuff, do the List, etc, etc.. but not much to say here until post-GOTJ.

HatchetGear.com has been working slowly, though, as they just added another new ABK shirt, and a hat. Also for your Psychopathic pleasures, I am sure you have seen all ofthe Weekly Freekly's, as well as the 'Saved' video on zugizland.com. Good stuff.

But yeah... that's all. be careful this weekend, and I shall see ya when I see ya.
