He was a truly special and inspiring person who lived his life to the fullest. If you guys could fill these comments with kind words/thoughts/memories about him I would really appreciate that.

    the fact that Donovan was able to be that positive about his situation really speaks volumes to the content of his character and shows that he truly did live his life to the fullest. really puts it into perspective how many of us are really just taking this ride on a floating rock for granted. "No one ever had control" Rest easy Donovan, i think its safe to say that you truly made an impact on thousands of people and may God bless you Brandon for being a truly awesome person and giving Donovan what looked like a truly amazing time.

    Classmate back in the 2000s here. Don was a witty character from the outset and persisted against the odds to make it as far as he did, almost didn't survive to adulthood. As a teenager he would have been stunned to hear of the scale and intent of your condolences. Reading makes his loss a bit easier.

    I first met Juggalos as an embedded journalist at Occupy Berkeley and, while they seem crazy, they were the kindest and caring people I ever met. Some hipster "anarchist" guy tried to run up on me while I was doing an interview and three Juggalo homies pounced on him. When the fake-anarchists raided the camp and tried to retaliate later that week, a couple Juggalos protected my tent and equipment because I always talked to them with compassion and curiosity (Why Faygo? What was the root of the Eminem beef? What is the Dark Carnival?), shared my weed with them and never snitched on them to the boomer-hippies who tried to control the camp.

    • @nickschiller1080
      @nickschiller1080 Місяць тому +3

      Faygo is Pop from here in Detroit and is awesome and has so many flavors.
      Eminem looked up to ICP and they were already pretty big doing their thing and Eminem was just getting started out he put ICPs name on his flyer saying they might appear when he did it without their opinion, he went out to Violent J and showed him the flyer and J said why you put our name on here without permission and tossed it in the air and walked away. The Dark Carnival is what any Juggalo may perceive the Dark Carnival to be, it's different for many.

    I am not a Juggalo and haven't listened to much ICP, but I have massive respect for everything they have created. They're the true definition of DIY, and they are all about their fans. They put together the Gathering every year and every year its a success. I highly doubt there are many other musicians who could do the same thing. And the best thing about this is how cool everyone is with each other and how positive everyone is.

    This is why, even though it's not been my scene in well over a decade, I'll always have a spot in my heart for juggalos. Having been one at one point, still knowing and being friends with several, I can honestly say that there really is something to it all. The first people to help me out when I'm in a bad place? Juggalos. The most ride-or-die friends I have? Juggalos. It's just a level of loyalty and heart that I've never seen from any other fanbase, and most of the time it doesn't have shit to do with the music, it's just mostly normal folks looking out for each other and having fun doing it. Who can hate on that?

    This was beautiful. Donovan was a skanks fan and juggalo and he got to meet both ICP AND LOS and he did stand up comedy. He didnt let his medical conditions prevent him from chasing dreams respect. Damn I teared up at the end of of this with his final words 😢

    Brandon, thank you so much for this video dude..
    First, rest in peace to Donovon. What a heart of gold! The ending had me in tears!!
    But Im also in tears because I went to the 2023 Gathering and it was also my first. My girlfriend and I took a huge chance and flew all the way from Alaska to be there, and to help overcome our nerves, we found your previous gathering videos and watched the heck out of them. ICP played two nights and at the first set, I had VIP… just before the Faygo Armageddon, I asked my girlfriend to marry me and she said yes! She was a casual ICP fan going there but she is now full-blown juggalo. We both have hatchet man tattoos now.
    We met some absolutely incredible people and had pretty much the greatest experience of our lives. We looked EVERYWHERE for you but couldn’t freakin find you!!! We decided at the airport that we are going back in 2024 and it doesn’t matter what it takes to get there, we are doing it again and I’m hoping to bring a bunch of other Alaskans with me!! I sincerely hope you go in 2024, it’d be cool to be able to thank you for helping us prep for that experience!! I’ve been waiting for this video, man. Thank you so much!
    Whoop whooooooooop!!!

Im really excited to see you two again next year and appreciate how much you love your woman 🩶Thanks for sharing-so much fun watching your love story unfold. congratulations (again)!
      ps- my first gotj was 2003, i believe it was the first year at nelson ledges and i had no close juggalo firiends besides an ex bf but i had recently discovered their live shows and i really wanted to go. the lineup that year was insane, odb, vanilla ice, terry funk, dusty roades, just to name a few and showing the lineup and activities to my best girlfriend (who had never heard of icp) and she ended up coming with me to 3 gatherings total!

    I'm not a juggalo nor have i listened to the genre of music that usually goes with it, but I can genuinely appreciate the love and brotherhood (and sisterhood) tat seems to be attached to all of this.
    In most festivals or band festivals or events, they all claim to have that kinship but it usually comes down to the bottom line and money. But i think it's quite apparent just from the large amount of videos i've seen, that regardless what kind of money is being pulled in by this event, the love and respect between the fans is genuine, much more than anything I've witnessed. *Just to give a little info, I've been obsessively following my love for music and live shows for a little under 30 years now. i've been to everything from basement shows, bars, theaters, arenas and festivals. It's my thing you can ay, lol.
    But my point of writing this is that I think no matter what anyone says about the Juggalo fan base, the gathering and anything else connecting to it, you guys have a genuine thing going on here, something not many people can really claim, at least no to the depth that you guys do.
    I don't think my life will be complete show wise if i don't at some time attend a gathering festival.
