I was an IA stagehand in the early 2000's.. NGL, the stage breakdown after a GWAR show was one of the stickiest, slipperiest, goopiest "outs" I've ever done. Not even the Lippizaner Stallions (and those horses are fed some weird food that makes their poop toxic, which is wild, since horse poop is the least offensive of any large animal) were as messy.
GWAR puts on a highly theatrical, great show.. If you get a chanct to see them.. By all means.. take it.
Not surprised President Peevishness can't handle the heat. So typical for the thin-skinned one.
Ahhh I miss IA. The only time in my life I was paid $1000 to stand around for three hours because the road crew forgot about us.
Not helping the general “IA are all lazy” stereotype. There’s a reason your pants pockets are called “union gloves”. It’s because every stagehand has a story about seeing a bunch of IA workers standing around wearing union gloves, while the rest of the crew is busting their asses.
Yeah those evil unions ensuring fair pay and good working conditions. Not like you and your manly man can do attitude!
Damn, y'all really hate Iowa huh?
