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.

Gwar shows are a lot of fun so seconding this; go if you get a chance (and maybe bring a change of clothes).

Hello stagehand! My dad was one. Good luck! Be safe!

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.

One of the best concerts I've ever seen. Soooo much blood! And watching el presidente get disemboweled was rather neat
