I’ll update that blog entry with pertinent information about MCR at Bamboozle as it comes in through the day.
4 hours until they go on!
In August 2003, Reggie and the Full Effect went on tour with Midtown, Moneen, and My Chemical Romance. Gerard Way played Reggie’s bear onstage every night.
S+S: What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done?
Gerard: Probably jumping over a 6 foot barricade to a 10 foot drop to concrete in a bear costume. In a bear costume is probably what makes it a little crazier. That was on the Reggie tour and they have a bear come on stage with them. They didn’t have their bear, so the first day James said, “Hey, bro. I got a job for you if you’re interested. If you want to, start our set and say ‘Let’s get it on’ then kind of do whatever you want.” I was like, “Alright.” So, I got in the bear suit, jumped, and nobody caught me. I’m thinking, “Dude, they’re definitely going to catch a guy in a bear suit. Who wouldn’t want to catch a guy in a bear suit?” I thought I was going home in a helicopter. That was the last time I did that. That was in Florida too, and Florida kids can’t catch for shit anyway. That’s been my experience.
“stay beautiful”
Additional fun fact: A friend of mine saw Reggie on this tour and was against the stage. He told me that the odor coming from Gerard was the foulest thing he has ever encountered.
Why am I so excited about this? I can’t go to this. SCREEEEEEEAAAAAAAAMMMMMIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG REGARDLESS!

After a heart-pounding fight to the end, we made it to the 5th round of MTV’s Musical March Madness: THE SEMIFINALS!!
We’re against Green Day, so this is going to be a FIERCE battle! We’ve made it this far the past couple years, we need to make it all the way this time!
Go vote and keep it up!
The fourth round of Musical March Madness ends tonight! Let’s make sure MCR stay in the race!
Earlier today, the official Metallica account tweeted, and they managed to get ahead of us; so, we need to continuously vote to secure our lead.
If they were to tweet again, I know—having witnessed how fast they got ahead earlier—that they could easily pass us again.
MCRmy unite! The official MCR account probably will not tweet; so, we’re on our own in this: All the better to show how fucking powerful we are.
DESTROY!!
