Jack Off Jill's Reunion Is In Your Hands

by Mary Grace Garis

Calling all gothlings! We have an update on the highly anticipated Jack Off Jill reunion. In order to help cover the travel expenses for rehearsals (the ladies are based in LA, Denmark, and Asheville, NC). Jack Off Jill has started a Pledgemusic campaign to assist in funding their July 18th reunion show in North Carolina. And it comes with treats!

If you choose to donate to the cause, you get exclusive updates on the show, rare video clips, announcements about special guests, and all the cool Jack Off Jill merch your dark little heart desires. Sadly the golden tickets to hang out with the band are long sold out, but there's plenty of signed pins, polaroids and posters ripe for the taking.

"But Mary Grace, I have so many bills to pay, how can I afford to help out the greatest goth girl band of all time?" Oh, please. I'm sure there are plenty of expenses you can cut out of your life to pitch in and snag those Jack Off Jill-themed goodies. You know my motto: once a goth kid, always a goth kid, and when your heroes need help, you need to forgo on that new tube of black lipstick and prioritize.

If that isn't convincing enough, watch the video below and take a trip down memory lane with this nightmare of a reunion announcement video.

Convinced now? Good. Tickets go on sale April 24th at noon and can be purchased for $20 on the orangepeel.com, $25 the day of the show. Either way, you'll need to save up some money, so here are some gothy purchases you can give up to help fund the band that got you through middle school:

Platform buckled boots

I know, I know, they're calling your name, and they would look SO boss with your fishnets. Let's be real, though, you can sacrifice 'em for the cause.

Your tri-weekly 3 am coffees at IHOP

This, meanwhile, is approximately $1.69 for six cups, but that starts to add up when you're there every night. Forgo your late night caffeinate-and-complain sessions at the IHOP (or Denny's, if that's more your speed).

Black hair dye

Truth be told you're a natural ginger and jars of Manic Panic are what maintains your street cred. However, you could easily let your roots grow in just this once and trade up for a Jack Off Jill reunion. After all, orange is the new black.

A new spooky parasol

You know what? Suck it up and just use the blue one with the duckies that your mom got you. Or just give up the charade and accept that you need to absorb more vitamin D.
