Whuddup Traders! Hope every has had their fill of turkey. I myself just had a turkey sandwhich, and it was the bomb. But you didn't come here to find out my weird late night snacking habits, you came here for news. So what do I have for you today? First things first, I had 5 people waiting to get on the list, and y'all are now on. Nice to see T-Bone make it in, I met that dude at the Colorado Springs instore. Props to him. Secondly, there is yet another Wraith poster:
We stole... err... borrowed that from eBay, but I made the dude LOTM, so that seems fair. Go bid on that if it tickles your feather. And last but not least, me and Mr. TaDow may be holding a holiday PT contest! We're working out the kinks right now, we'll have more info for you in the weeks to come. It should be fun, and some people should get hooked up. Anyways, check out the LOTM, check out our new traders, and let the Christmas shopping begin!
[TaDow] 11.29.02
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. I am sure you had a better day than Big Dirk, whose Mavs got stopped short of their little record. Oh well..

You know, you'd think I would have learned my lesson the last time I posted speculation, but alas, I have more. For new webstore orders, they are giving out this Esham postcard as a freebie:

11.26.02
Well.. you know, I always made fun of sites that had crazy, lavish news that ended up not being true. Well, god dammit, it's not funny! We've been getting some bum tips lately.. but that's not a bad thing. That's.. a good thing! How it is good, I don't know. I am just trying to be positive.
[Suplex]
11.26.02
See what happens when you post speculation kids? You get burnt. In my last post I gave y'all some "Hell's Pit" Speculation, and today Scottie D from our homies at FaygoLuvers.net informed me that he spoke with Netmaster Gordon, and that Gordon said the guy was "100% full of shit." Sorry everybody, my bad. Anyways, check out my eBay auction in the LOTM section, and with that I am out.

Whuddup. I've got a long but very valuable update today, so stick with me. Two big e-mails were sent my way a couple days ago, but due to the server problems mentioned by Pete below me, we had a little delay. First, we'll deal with the trading world. Lil-Poot@triad.rr.com writes to us:
[TaDow]
11.25.02
Whoa.. we had some Server problems for the last few days, so everything we updated.. didn't show up. But I think we're back! So we shall be back up in this, if you will, ASAP. I believe Chris has some news, and I have a lot to do. Also, I am not sure what actually showed up and what didn't, so some stuff may be missing. We will work on that quickly, so that you are not mising out on any flavor! Until next time..
[TaDow]
11.22.02
Ah yes, back again with some small news. Yesterday, I hit up Plymouth for the Michigan Promotional tour deal. Ry Ry was in The Wraith van, dispensing free posters, cds, and flats. About 25 or 30 people braved the rain in the time I was there. All in all, it was pretty cool. The last one is today in Brighton, and I may go over there, for my Wraith poster got real wet, thus fucked up.
[TaDow]
11.20.02
Well, long time no update, but that doesn't mean we're not working. For some reason, a lot of new stuff has been coming out on the Web Store, so that has kept us busy. If you haven't been over to HatchetGear.com, you need to do so. They have new hoodies and hats, old jerseys, Mortons List suppliments.. the works. And boom, we try and get them on here as soon as they hit the store.
[Suplex]
11.16.02
Whuddup. New Wraith Poster. Click For Bigger Picture. Peace.
[Suplex]
11.15.02
Whuddup traders, I finally got some pictures from the Instore And Release Party, Peep them out. Much props to the digital master SilentKilla from DenverJuggalos.net for snappin' these:
[Suplex]
11.14.02
What is up? Not a whole lot here. First off, new opening image. Props to Dallas Juggalos and PT'ers Ryno, Justin, and Sinn for reppin' in D-Town. We're diggin' the love. Secondly, I threw up a new mp3, because I am a Jerichoholic. His band, Fozzy, are hug fucking rock stars, so download that shit! Thirdly, and most importantly, I was a bit wrong in my last update. I had assumed that Psychopathic would be slow (like normal) and it would take about 2 weeks to get the Wraith vinyls out. I was informed that they got in a shipment of Wraith vinyls and are shipping them out, so I speculated too long. Sorry. If you ordered, you should have it here in about a week. With that, I'm out to work. Enjoy FOZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZY!
[Suplex]
11.11.02
Wraith Vinyl on the webstore! Only 1000 made! Get them while they're hot! Anyways, yes, that is the hot merch news today. I'm sure eBay will flood with these soon. But the big news comes from Crystal at ZugSyn.com. She just spoke with J Dirty from Psychopathic, and word is these Vinyls are NOT in the warehouse yet. What this means is that they will have to ship them back to the wherehouse in Detroit, then send them out to the people who ordered them. Probably about 2 weeks, I'd say. So be patient, you'll get your shit. Peace.
[Suplex]
11.10.02
Ok, the instore finally went down tonight, here is the re-cap:
[Suplex]
11.09.02
I hate to update right on top of Pete, but I've had quite a day. Today was supposed to be the huge ICP Instore in Colorado Springs, CO. My day started @ 6:15 in the morning, and after being picked up, shuttled to McDonalds for a couple McMuffins, we were on our way. We got to the Springs at about 8:30. We got in line and got numbers on our hands and a wristband. I got #93, not too shabby. Well we kick it pretty much the whole day, I had my trademark PT sign, and I sold some merch out of a supermarket cart (pics coming soon). Anyways, at around 3:30 that afternoon, the store owner lady (who was cool as fuck) came out to tell us that ICP is getting caught up in massive snowstorms, and aren't sure if they can make it. We waited for an official word, and when it came, we found they were staying the night in Vail, CO and that the street team will be here soon. The instore was scheduled for 5:00 PM tomorrow, and all numbers will again be honored. Soon later, the vans rolled up, and they gave out samplers and yet another Wraith poster:
[TaDow]
11.09.02
Ah yes, not much going on, as the storm of The Wraith and Hallowicked has simmered down, but we come back to you nonetheless. Lots of new stuff on the Web Store from Hallowicked and the Wraith Parties, so check that out if you have not already.
[Suplex]
11.07.02
Like my man Tech N9ne, I'm a slacker. I shoulda give y'all the run down last night from the release party on Tuesday, but I'm just lazy. Oh well. Anywho, it was pretty phat, in my opinion. I am the quintisential (look it up, jackass) Blaze nutswinger, and I got to talk with him for about 10 minutes about the GOTJ (the now infamous Suplex Vs. Blaze bidding war over Syn), and we had a good laugh at that. He tagged my jersey, and I was on to enjoy the rest of the night. It was fun just kickin' it with other people. As for merch, check Pete's update below.
[TaDow]
11.06.02
Bringing the flavor like no one else, per usual. Thanks to Mr Ryan from Juggalo-Family, we have pictures of three new shirts from The Wraith CD Parties:
[Suplex]
11.05.02
Wow. I've listened to the Wraith 3 times now, and I'm blown away each time. What a work of fucking art. I mean, this is the shit. For those of you who might be getting The Wraith later I won't go into specifics, but I felt I had to say something. What a work of art. It's going to be interesting to see how the size of concerts and Gatherings change... I hope not much. People should not be falling off... But as I've established before, people are stupid. Anyways, big release party tonight, with Big Blaze in Denver. I Will be in effect, wearing my now trademark Yellow Blaze Jersey, so be on the look out. I heard he runs Juggalo Karaoke, and I will be all over that. I'll spit shout outs to my loyal PT'ers. We'll have a merch report tomorrow of course. Anyways, I'm out.
[TaDow]
11.05.02
November 5th, the day that Shangri-Leezy invades your life. Ah yes. It's still early.. midnight actually for me, so I will not spill anything. But, I do have some quick news from the Detroit Wraith party as told to me.
[Suplex]
11.03.02
Whuddup Traders. Not a whole bunch going on, but the Broncos aint playing today so I figured I'd drop in and update before I actually did my homework. The list has been updated, there were like 6 people waiting on that. We got some release parties coming up, and I assume there will be brand spankin new Wraith merch at those. I've got Big Blaze on Tuesday here in the D, so we'll have a full run down and pictures soon after. The Wraith is almost here, I'll be getting it Monday night @ a midnight sale, which will be phat. Anyways, we've got some new graphics up in here, props to Pete on that. We should have a new main page graphic soon as well. It's a blizzard of diamonds right now, and I'm out like that website with Wraith MP3's that I reported to Psychopathic early today. Peace.
[TaDow]
11.01.02
Ah yes, Hallowicked. The two shows have passed, and now it's time for PT to pick up the pieces, and move on. Tonight was ABK, Twiztid, and ICP. Actually, a band called Ninjas In Action, I believe opened. Some people thought they were Zug.... Anyways, ABK had a very solid set, I felt; the best live set I have seen him do. Twiztid opened with Nosferatu, and ended with a new track.
You think we'd learn our lesson, but here is.. oh yeah, MORE speculation. Word on the message board is that pollstar.com has Twiztid tour dates up.. and they are with Bone Thugs. Kinda weird, I must say. The dates shown are:
Sat 01/25/03 Worcester, MA The Palladium
Mon 01/27/03 Pittsburgh, PA Metropol
Sun 02/02/03 Cleveland, OH Agora Theatre
So yeah.. pollstar.com isn't always the best source of information. Some may call them.. a fountain of misinformation, if you will. But, it gives everyone something to talk about.
Also, obviously, you have been to HatchetGear.com, and you've seen the flurry of new merch. It appears that opinions on the new hockey jerseys are split, but I personally think they are very cool. I know I'll be picking up a Zug one for Christmas. If you haven't seen the new stuff... jump over to the Web Store, or browse right here at PT!
That's it for news. In the spirit of the holiday weekend, I'd like to give a very quick "Thanks" section here: to Chris for holding down the other half of PT; to John, Ryan, Brad, and everyone and anyone else who emails us with info, pictures, and the like, because without them, our job would be very hard; to Scottie, Ricky the Kid, and the rest of FaygoLuvers, RJ, Juggalo-Family, and to all websites who give us props and such; to everyone who emails us, because that shows us that people actually check us out and care what we think; and to you, for reading this right now. We're rolling up on Five Years of Trading, and it would seriously not be possible without you, whoever you are!
So, on that note, I am out.
That is, again, a postcard, however, the picture was blown up. Am I the only one who can see this being a sweet promo poster? I am going out on a limb and saying that this will in fact be turned into a Promo Poster in the near future. So be on the look out for that, as they are pumping out new Esham merch like crazy.
EDIT: Ok, my Canadian friend, Mr. Joel "DaLotusPoD" Kenny, has sent me a picture of the Canadian Wraith Promo Poster:
Sorry it's such a small pic, but you know those crazy Canucks. Anyways, with that, make sure you check my Auction to your right if you need the Wraith vinyl, and I am out.
Anyways, as you may or may not know, the Web Store has been hopping lately. An Esham hockey jersey, new knit hats, DCG stickers, Mortons List shirts and a hoodie, and a jersey... lots of good stuff. There is also a poster, that ironically I found on another site today, but the picture was real shitty. Regardless, good new stuff, I feel. It's keep us busy. We'll have all of those up in a day or so.
I'd also like to give some props to our Aussie friend and trader adlamator@hotmail.com, for giving us some good info on Psychopathic releases down under on Shock Records. We finally got around to adding those, so thanks sir!
That's it for right now. My next update should be pretty big, for it's the annual Thangsgiving post, so be on the look out for that! Until then, like your bones if you are an Eagles QB, I am out.
I just wanted to let you know. That the guy that you reported on your site earlier this month mikebryan@adelphia.net just sent me that list of stuff he supposedly has for sale and yes he's demanding cash for the items. But, he sent it to me through ebay's mailing system. Just wanted to let you know that his ebay name is bills02. He's not currently selling anything on ebay but he just may try in the future as soon as his ebay rating get's to 10. I did hit him through ebay for spam since he used ebay's mailing system to send me that list. I thought if you passed on to the juggalos to watch for his list through ebay with the name bills02 to report him for spam. Maybe this will get him banned from ebay before he gets started. Thanks for listening and your site. I wouldn't have bought from him anyways but with the info you guys put on your site does help. Thanks again for your site and everything you do. Peace and MCL!
Good to know our updates are helping avoid rip offs. So watch out for that dude on eBay as well as our message board. He doesn't post but is known for e-mailing people from our board. Anyways, here is some Hell's Pit speculation, e-mailed to us from kl8091@hotmail.com:
What's up juggalos? I'm e-mailing this out of strict appreciation. Appreciation for making The Wraith "Shangri-la" such a success. It debuted at #15 and slipped down 50+ spots the week after but that's only because juggalos picked this up either the day it was released or the week it was released. So, no matter what, we're a success. Even if it was only a week.
If you decide to post this anywhere, and want to include my e-mail address, you can, but I'd prefer you don't. Anyway, I'm someone from Psychopathic and you'll find out who on the next edition of The Shaggy Show which will be up in early December. Either that or the next episode of The Purple Show. Whichever comes first. I'm someone you'd recognize. And for the internet, I've been assigned to report news on "The Wraith: Hell's Pit". So this is my first job. And I hope you juggalos appreciate it because only juggalo sites are getting this FIRST!
There have been questions such as "Is Hell's Pit recorded yet?" The answer is, "kind of". During the recording of Shangri-la, there were several tracks done. Announced on The Tunnel Hotline were "Open The Gates" and "The Necronomicon". These tracks were intended for Shangri-la, but really were too "dark" to fit anywhere. They were saved. Other tracks that have been completed are "Walk Away From The Light", "It Rains Hell", "Wagons Arrive" and "The Revealing". Now, you might question that last one. "The Unveiling" was put out to explain what ICP was all about all this time. "The Revealing" will explain what ICP will do now that all the Joker's Cards are out. Once again, there will be SEVENTEEN tracks and the album will be produced by MIKE P. AND ESHAM.
There will be NO special guests for Hell's Pit other then Anybody Killa, Blaze, Esham, Jumpsteady, Twiztid and Zug Izland. Samplers will be given out on the last leg of The Shangri-la Tour. No word on what will be on the samplers. Whether it's the same format as the Shangri-la samplers or something new. But they WILL be given out on the last leg of the Shangri-la tour.
It's a big time for us juggalos. Thanks to all the juggalo websites out their for pledging their undying support through the years!!!!!
So, some big news on the trading front as well as the "news" front, so to speak. And with that, I'm done for the night. Check out our new LOTM, and be on the lookout for our MP3 Sweetness, as Pete has something in store for everybody soon. Peace.
If you are keeping track, rumor has it that The Wraith vinyls have sold out. We also heard there was a glitch, if you will, and you could order more than 2. Regardless, I am sure everyone bought two, and they will ALL be on eBay now. Real sweet...
Something else I've been meaning to update about... there was all this hoopla a few weeks ago about this new Wraith "Magic Eye" poster. We get emails and posts about it, telling us we have to put it up. Against our better judgement, we did. Come to find out... that was just just paper that was used to stuff packages. There's no Magic Eye magic there at all. The moral of the story is... I dunno what the moral is.
That's it for now. More stellar updates as they roll across my desk. Peace.
In other news, something we have kinda glossed over has been this Michigan promotional tour. I have heard that they have given out different things every day, Wraith merch mostly, and most notably the 24" x 12" ICP.com posters. I will probably be at the one in downtown Plymouth, so if you see me, feel free to say something... good or bad. Whatever floats your boat.
We also have a lot of pictures to put up in the near future, all from John in the big O, including some In Store pics from Kansas City. Thnaks to John for always lookin out, and those will be up in my next update.
But that is it for now. So, until next time, I am out.
Big Blaze
Esham
Shaggy
Shaggy & Esham
Violent J
Suplex Reppin' PT
Also, props to our Dallas PT'ers Ryno & Justin for reppin' PT at the Instore in dallas:
Ryno Reppin' PT

Click those to have them pop up in a new window... Well that's it, Peace!
Only 500 wristbands were given out. ICP showed up around 5 pm to start, being #93, i got in at like 6:45 or something. You go in the back of the semi truck, go through some twists and turns, and then get up to ICP & Esham. Only 5 are allowed in at a time. My experience rocked. I rolled up with my Ringmaster OG poster and they went on about how old school it was. Violent J told me a pretty cool story: They made that poster themselves @ kinkos. They printed out the letters RINGMASTER and cut them out and taped them to the paper. they put white-out on the tape so you wouldn't see the marks from it. Also interesting, we call it the "haunted house" poster. In actuality, that is the "apartment ICP lived in" poster.... true, they lived in that building complex that is behind them. Good stuff. So yes, my much hyped RM poster is now signed, and Esham signed a flat too. Good times had by all. Also, they had a bunch of Wraith merch, the Homiez vinyl, and all jokers card baseball jerseys for sale. Peace.
Not a bad poster at all. Anyways, since I wasted all of my Saturday and will waste more of my Sunday, I have a massive amount of work to do, and I am out.
Right now, as you may know, ICP is out on their In-Store tour. Word has it that people are getting there VERY early, like... camping out the night before, because only 500 people get wristbands. So get to yours early. It also sounds like these signings take place outside.. in a Psychopathic semi-truck, with slides, funhouse mirrors and such. Pretty crazy. I have heard they sell merch, but nothing that hasn't already been available.
If you check our Link of the Moment, there is a downloadable video from DesertJuggalos.com from the Phoenix In-Store. We always get emails about the videos and other flavor they put up, but being that my computer is a POS, I never get to check it out to its full potential. But they have a very cool site, so if you have never ventured on over, fire up the hard drive, and give them a look. I am sorry it took us so long to give you guys the props you deserve.
I believe... that is it. So, much like the Mavs undefeated season will be tonight, I am out.
On a more serious note, we have a rip off running around E-Mailing our board members trying to sell stuff. His e-mail is mikebryan@adelphia.net, but that is not his name. He demands you send first, and he demands cash. He's a rip off. Do not send him shit. Anyways, that's my little schpiel for the night, More coming Sunday after my instore. Peace.
There you have it. They also had the Blacklight poster, but other than that, everything is already on the Web Store. But that is it. Boom.
I was told there was some new merch. First, a new Wraith shirt with a pic of ICP on the front, from the booklet. The other new item is a shirt with The Wraith on the front, "throwing" out the different Joker Cards, with the cards' names and years of relese on the back. That actually sounds very cool. I assume there may be more, maybe different shit at different shows. Give us the info if you have it!
Speaking of new merch, I am not having luck with finding good pictures of the Hallowicked merch. So if you can hook us up, please do so! Also, we've gotten word of a few new Wraith items, but we just haven't mentioned them, most notably a blacklight poster, a Magic Eye poster, and a few other posters. We will work on getting everything up and ready asap.
With Hallowicked and The Wraith passing over, the busy season is passing us, and it's time for other flavor here at PT. So, I have a quick Flash Poll question for you all. As Esham and ABK's cds come closer, we are always asked where their sections are. So here is your chance to vote, just so we know what people want. So... should we have pages for old/pre-Psychopathic Esham and ABK audio, posters, shirts, and the like? And in doing so... do we have to have to add HOK posters and shirts also? I always thought that we would stick strictly to Psychopathic merch, but if enough people are all about it, we may try and get something up for these sections, even if it's a quick checklist. So, send your votes, comments, and anything else to PsyTraders@aol.com, and we'll let you know how that goes.
That is it for now. Chris will update tomorrow after his Blaze afterparty. So, like the CDs at the Chicago Wraith party, I am out.
Merch was slim pickings, from what I saw. Nothing new, although last night I forgot to mention the new ABK shirt. It is red, with the large Skull Logo, like the jerseys, and I believe it has the same back as his previous shirts. There are some pics of all of the new merch on ebay. We will probably ste-- err, borrow those for a while, until we get better pictures. I'm sure the shirts will hit the Web Store, so boom.. you will see them there. We should have all new stuff up within days.
I didn't get to "hang out" with a lot of people this time around, but it was still very cool. Props to everyone I was cool with, apologies to people who I wanted to hang out with but didn't, and fuck everyone who I hate, or who had the unfortunate luck to crowd surf within a 5 foot radius of us.
We have some slightly new graphics for the top of each "Releases" page, which should be up very soon. There may be a slight down time where the graphics don't work, but we will work quickly. Also, on that note, props to FaygoLuvers, and any other sites who sent people here for the Hallowicked tracks. We had double our usual hits this week, plus almost 4K on the 31st alone. I dunno how other sites do... but that is our all-time one-day high. Give yourselves.. a big hand!
That's it though, really. For now, I am out.
