Know Your Juggalo

2010_07_27_juggalo.jpg You're super hyped for the annual Gathering of the Juggalos downstate, right? But what if you don't know much about them besides what you pick up from skimming blogs and that "Miracles" video? Derek Erdman is something of an expert on the subject having gone to previous Gatherings - which he called "999 times more exciting" than Pitchfork - and he's going to be talking all things Juggalo next week in a session at the Hungry Brain, something you might want to attend if you plan on surviving this or any future Gathering. Derek will be joined by Jenny Benevento. It's part of the ongoing "101" series presented by Homeroom in conjunction with local podcast You, Me, Them, Everybody. The Reader's Miles Raymer has a few more details.

101 Juggalos, Tuesday, August 3, 9 p.m., The Hungry Brain, 2319 W. Belmont, Free, 21+, RSVP here
