Like, do I bring spare clothing or do I take transit home as is and just explain to everyone that the blood and semen I am covered in is fake and then simply answer any follow up questions the police they call have for me?

    Wear an all white shirt or buy a new white GWAR shirt and wear that.

    People will let you go in front of them because they’ll know/assume it’s your first GWAR experience.

    Its generally a great community to newcomers. Or at least it was in the days of Brockie. RIP. I haven’t been to more than a couple shows since his death so I’m a bit OOTL.

    You’re supposed to get your white gwar shirt covered in GWAR excrement (they spray/douse the crowd with fake blood, piss, shit, cum, etc, regularly. So be aware of that too.)

    The idea is veteran GWAR goers wear their never-washed very colorful GWAR shirts as a sign of being part of the crowd, saying it’s not your first time, etc.

      Maybe I will just buy a shirt. If it does stain, I might put it on display.

      “In this room, I keep my white t-shirt soaked in blood, cum, and feces. And over here is the veranda”.

    Well, a big part of the show is getting people in the front all wet and sticky. Making a real mess!!!

    This is done by hitting watermellons with giant mallots, and spraying everyone with the chaos!

    …wait. I’m thinking of Gallagher. They should tour together.

    Eh, I went to dinner after a show at a local spot and they were completely unphased. The fake blood wasn’t sticky, it just stains everything. Bring an extra shirt if you’re really concerned, and/or a towel for your car seat if you drive.

    Definitely dress down lol. And make sure you have fun in all that noise and muck!

    Edit: just read the body. If anyone asks, just tell them you’re not one to spill a secret and give em a lil wink ;)

      I am looking forward to the muck. None of this is even confirmed but I am excited and comforted by the thoughts of being soaked in blood and semen and feces.

    One time at a GWAR show I got sprayed right in the face with a stream of fake blood and it dyed my contacts red for a day or so.
