Millennial Perseveres
Just a bit more than a year ago, young Emma Carmichael, a nice young person from Vermont, unwittingly became the subject of a much-used news photo: at her graduation from Vassar, a little hungover and a lot bored, someone snapped her picture and then it got licensed to a bazillion news stories about how there were no jobs for new graduates. "We were all destined for unemployment and my face seemed to say it best," she wrote here a year ago: "Hungover and under-prepared, but I could fake contemplation and self-awareness with the best of them."

How summmer138 Kicked Oxy and Xanax and Broke Up With Her Boyfriend, Killa T
On May 29, 2008, summmer138 joined YouTube. Now she has 593 YouTube subscribers. Her real name is Monica, she lives in Denver, and she grew up in Dillingham, Alaska, which she refers to as "DillingHOLE," population roughly 2,500. She is 22 years old, a high-school graduate with a bit of college education, and a fan of "True Blood," in both book and television form. Her only love is filming and editing videos, which she does through her production company, depRAVEd wONderland productions.

Meet The Juggalos
The 10th Annual Gathering Of The Juggalos-the celebration by and for fans of the Insane Clown Posse-happened this weekend in Illinois. But who are these Juggalos? What are their hopes and dreams? How do they treat their Juggalettes? Can an honest Juggalo get an even break in this cruel world? Artist Derek Erdman-yes, that one!-took a camera to the Gathering and found "a mostly friendly bunch of people happy to be at a place that they can all their own for a weekend." America, America, this is you.
Tips For Aspiring Juggalos
Perhaps you've seen this video promoting the 10th Annual Gathering Of The Juggalos? Starting tomorrow and lasting all the way through the weekend, this celebration by and for fans of the Insane Clown Posse is sure to delight all members of the Juggalo Tribe! Years from now, children will be told the oft-recounted tale of how Grandma and Grandpa met behind the Porta-Potty during that fateful summer in Illinois. (Then they will hear about how Grandpa died in a makeshift meth lab explosion.) Still, it's not all fun, games, and meth at the Gathering. Every Juggalo, novitiate or veteran, knows that one must keep one's wits about him or her (particularly her) at all times. Fortunately, here's a survival guide for those of you who might be in attendance. If you're going, text me! Or just swing by the Rape Room, I'm usually hanging around out front.
