I read the thread about confetti and silly string...what about a massive water balloon fight....perhaps during Mastodon....I know the tiny balloons wouldnt bio degrade but i think this would be an awesome way to have fun and keep you and your neighbor cool...any thoughts?
There's not a thing worth remembering When tomorrow can bring someone new Get used to the thought You can't be what you're not Life has already got plans for you
in '05 there were these blue guy sling-shotting water balloons around Centeroo... I got smacked in the leg by one... I didn't see it coming. It scared the heck outta me and it hurt. I had a red mark on my thigh for the rest of the day. I wanted to smack them back.
so yeah, shout out a warning before you hit somebody...
I would suggest going to a dollar store - buy a bunch of water guns - fill them up - hand them to strangers and see what ensues - no trash to clean up - no water balloon hurting people - just safe - wet fun

i find water to be more useful when its drank,instead of worn...with the exception of it being combined with soap,then a coating without soap...other than that,DRINK your water!
if i was standing in a sea of heads during a hot and sunny day at the what or which stage not roasting on a bowl, and got hit with a water balloon, i'd be cool with it.
I think it be fun to heave a water balloon into the crowd, too.

At Bonnaroo, you can squirt me in the face with a super soaker from four feet away and I will smile and thank you...but even so, I don't think I'd want to get hit with a water balloon. And besides, the issue of the trash really bothers me - with balloons it's not just about how long it takes to biodegrade, that stuff is really dangerous to kids or animals or anybody else who's not smart enough to keep it out of their mouths.

Problem is - water balloons do not always pop when they hit you
Bonnaroo's hot and i want water on my body. i don't care if it hurts.
And another thing... People are hired to clean that $hit up. So by throwing water balloons you're actually creating more jobs which will strengthen the economy.
In 06 guys slingshotted balloons into the crowd at the What stage. They were in front of the VIP bleachers and were firing them into the middle of the crowd. It was kind of like glowsticks in that it was fun to watch until you get smacked with one. It was wrong, but funny. A dichotomy.

Water guns tend to freak people out, mostly because of puddlers. You don't know if you're getting hit with nice refreshing water or if you're being puddled. I know that puddling doesn't really happen anymore, but some of us older kids can remember the days when it happened a lot. Make sure your balloons have a little air in them too, that makes them pop easier.

Last year my sister and I sat beside a pathway of people that was snaking its way through a seated crowd and shot them with small squirt guns as they passed by. Only a few people didn't enjoy it, out of hundreds, most got excited and asked for more. I am bringing super soakers this time and shooting anybody I see with water weapons. And strangers... :-D I expect all to partake.

I bought a 4 pack of cheap small water guns from dollar general. They might hold all of 6 or 7 squirts in them each. BUT they are small enough to carry them concealed >= )

^^^THIS... is seriously a REALLY MEAN thing to do without asking first...
Water alone (sans the Balloon bomb) is fine though , though if I happen to be taking a picture or something... please don't hit my camera...
I totally agree. I mean, while I am experienced with all of that, I would STILL be totally uncool with that happening to me at Bonnaroo, because I would probably freak out. I know a lot of people that would be unable to handle it.
I am going to have (completely innocent) waterguns though! If you see me tell me to spray you!!!
