Local police in Cave-In-Rock have been meeting with residents and church leaders for over a month, and the local district commander said, "We are preparing for the worst and hoping for the best." In other news, there's a town named "Cave-In-Rock." Oh, and people are still scared of Insane Clown Posse.
Realistically, the name "Cave-In-Rock" is more interesting than anything that will actually happen at "The Gathering," which is an annual festival of Insane Clown Posse fans, also known as "Juggalos." The festival will be held in the small town, with a population estimated at under 400 people, from today through Sunday. According to my good friends at Wikipedia, the population is 99.57% white. According to me, approximately 99.26% are terrified of Insane Clown Posse and/or their fans.
Something tells me the guys in Insane Clown Posse have a great sense of humor, thinking of this location for their event.
Performers scheduled for the event include Insane Clown Posse, Twistid, Blaze, Boondox, The Ying Yang Twins, Necro [also known as "the guy booed off the Sounds of the Undergound Tour"], Haystack, Proejct Born, and about 100 other bands. There will also be some JCW [Insane Clown Posse's wrestling company] matches, including the Bloodymania event, as well as:
- a comedy club
- a hypnotist
- a magician
- arm wrestling contest
- a car show
... and tons of other stuff.
The official site for The Gathering can be found here.
Meanwhile, good old Cave-In-Rock will have ten deputies working round-the-clock to make sure the festival is safe, and they will have a command post set up to ensure nothing terrible happens. Insane Clown Posee themselves will also be providing security, in the form of 85-100 security guys who have worked past Gatherings and similar events in the past.
