As if first trips weren’t bad enough, someone really dumb decided to explore the butthole of America known as Flint, Michigan. We didn’t get to stay too long in this beautiful city, just long enough to run through some abandoned houses, break some shit, and find out about Juggalos. From Flint we went down to Grand Rapids and posted up with some local good guys. Big thanks to Eric, Tommy, Levi, and Marie for showing us around and letting us crash. There could be a few paragraphs to describe this trip, but a picture is worth 1,000 words, so here are 21,000 words plus some captions.
The crew from left to right: Nick Dirks, LNP, Louie Paradise, Jonas Michelot
First trip of the season and this is where we went. Sometimes the search for new shit will lead you to just that….SHIT.
The guardian of the temple of Flint.
This unstrapped leprechaun would be LNP, also known as Laurent to his friends and as Larry Penguin to the people of Michigan

Michigan invented juggalos and juggalos invented Faygo. Supposedly if you drink this you turn into a juggalo. None of us manned up to drink it.
Nick bought a high tech camera at the thrift store and started a production company titled VideoAss.
Gassin’ up with a tall boy.
This is the juggalo logo. These stickers are as popular in Michigan as a Dragon or Volcom sticker in California.
Jonas doing the Michigan state dance. The hatchet is required.
Andy “iPhone” Wright came along to take some photos.
We didn’t manage to get a photo of the guy that kicked us out, but Nick and I drew this detailed drawing of the Spawn Clown/Janitor while on the plane home.
Nick is so rich, he bought 3 seats just so he could sleep. Not really.
Thats it for Michigan. Stay tuned for the next adventure.
