Gathering of the Juggalos 2023 - Making Dreams Come True

I am stuck between being thankful i got to make these memories with Donovan and upset that we won't be able to make any more. 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.

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.

[@JacobGolden-s2e]

I don't normally comment on videos, but Donovan has been my favorite guest on the Buckingham Show. It's too bad we won't get another gathering episode with him. R.I.P. The Man of the Gathering

[@FilmaticProductions]

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]

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.

[@jslaughterofthesoul4939]

But you don't understand why "journalists" are not welcome at anarchist demonstrations? You truly come across as a bitch and an idiot. What gentrified propaganda press outlet were you vulturing for?

[@zachhenderson7982]

I'm not a juggalo, not a huge fan of most of the music, but i love the free spirit attitude they embody. Glad people get to do stuff like this to just be themselves.

[@ti55any]

“Accepts everyone”

[@KimchiYeo]

To be a Juggalo doesn'tmean you have tolisten toICP etc, you canlisten to anything you like,being a Juggalo is a mindset not taste in music people like rap,trap,metal,rock,hell i am a Juggalette and i listen to Kpop,Backsreet boys,dj Tiesto ,Trap,beethoven,vivaldi and pretty much every genre under the sun (except for blues) You listen to what youlike and dress how you want, normally there is a dresscode for subculturesbut not with the darkcarnival dude ^^

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.

[@crescentfreshsongs]

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?

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!

[@thespyinthecab7538]

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.

R.I.P. to Donovan, you sure captured great words of him. His passing must be a true pain seeing how dedicated he was to living the fullest and taking whoever he met with him. God bless Donovan

[@stormykorn5132]

🙏 Rest in peace Donovan, I'm happy you were able to experience the Gathering for yourself. Brandon, you are an amazing human being for doing this for him. If more people in this world cared it would turn around quickly. And welcome to the family officially from what I watched. Whoop Whoop!!!!!

[@CoreyGervais]

You're really amazing for spreading happiness like that. Many people would've just gone to the festival and filmed a vlog by themselves, but you took the time to make someone's life better. I appreciate the time you put into making this, and look forward to future videos!

[@SteezLikeButta]

Brandon, I just came across your channel today and this is the second video I have watched. This was truly beautiful and I want to thank you for what you did for Donovan. It was clear he was having the time of his life and you made that possible for him. RIP Donovan he truly touched my heart and opened my eyes with his quotes at the end. Thank you

[@NutterButter__]

The evolution of Brandon coming to the Gathering as a curiosity to becoming a Juggalo and totally immersing himself this year.

[@throwaway9388]

I somehow missed this video. It's such a blessing to see Donovan again. Thank you for making videos, Brandon.

[@benscootin4329]

Donovan was a hilarious and beautiful soul. And still is, he's waiting for us at the final gathering, the great dark carnival in the sky. R.i.p. brother! Woop-wooop! ❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️ 🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜

[@bertacharm]

I just want to congratulate you on getting through this editing Brandon, I know you said this project was difficult to do. I hope it helped you along the way

[@trystenryder]

Jesus this almost made me cry. Rest in paradise to an absolute legend among men

[@Occasus91]

RIP Donovan, was beautiful to see that he got to live his dream before he passed. Would also love to see Brandon and Mula exploring some haunted places for sure!

[@voteZDLR]

Just wholesome you did this for the guy. It's things like that, experiences people share, that's what life is really all about. I am happy you were able to do this with him in the time you were given, it probably truly was a life changing, positive experience for the guy.

[@alyssapage1585]

I can see why Don was a good friend of yours. What a beautiful + hilarious soul. Idk if I've ever saw somebody who in 20 minutes made me sad that I never got to know them or have them in my life. He clearly was a gift to the world ❤ & An authentic desire to truly connect with and listen to all people from all walks of life with such respect openness, compassion and understanding is such a rarity. You're great at what you do Brandon + somehow make me grow in those same qualities with every video, even vids of 4 days of hedonism + partying 😂 Idk how you do it, but keep up the good work.

[@Kid_Juna]

You and Sos need to do more together

[@drewbocop]

That's awesome man, you genuinely made him so happy. He seemed like such a solid dude, RIP.

[@BugManiacRoy]

Thanks for being real, showing real people, and making dreams come true. Rest in peace Donovan, a real one.

[@thanksyoutubefortakingmyhandle]

RIP Donavan, I've seen him in a few vids but he always seemed like a chill dude

[@TR-mq7br]

You were able to help him live his dream out that’s amazing. Rip Donovan 🕊️

[@bblu12]

Donovan, what an amazing person. RIP brother!

[@someguy3060]

RIP Donovan. He seemed like he had an overwhelming and chaotic, and amazing experience with you. Be proud of that brother. Love you man.

[@beastlytunic5296]

R.I.P to Donovan, hope his family and friends can recover from this tragic loss.

[@stephanielloyd4053]

This was absolutely brilliant! ❤ I live in rural England and used to be the only goth at my school back in the early 00s. This is beautiful to watch. ❤

[@mycologymadeeasy5585]

Man I never want these gathering videos to end!

[@PuttBenis]

I’ve been subbed for a long time now, like pre 20k. This is without a doubt the one video I look forward to more than anything else on KZbin. Brandon, you’re an awesome dude. Hope one day I get to meet you

[@BrandonBuckingham]

much love putt benis

[@BushWookieIsHere]

I’ve watched less than 2 minutes of this video and I already love Donovan. Rest in peace to a gem of a human being. The world would be a lot better off if everyone could find the joy in life like you could.

[@Freewillrap]

RIP DONOVAN 🙏 Appreciate you including us in the video Brandon , hopefully see you again next year 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@j565tyty]

You’re a genuinely good person Buckingham. RIP Donovan

[@lagginswag]

Donovan's words on control at the end hits deep. I remember when i finally hit adulthood and realized my parents were flying by the seat of their pants. Yet, as a kid, you felt so secure. There's no right way to live. You just gotta do it to the fullest, spread love/light and positivity, and try to forge a path with as much passion as possible. Rest In Paradise my dude. whoop whoop. ❤

[@shawnfisher3457]

I got my first tattoo at 15 at a jugaloo party and they are the best people I'll ever meet
