So if I was all anbout a glowstick war then I would be right for bonnaroo? You make those judgements huh? All I have done is try and explain why a band doesnt like them and my opinion on them. Then everyone starts labeling me as someone that doesnt know how to have a good time and just wants something to cry about.
Funny how just because someone disagrees with you they dont belong at Bonnaroo.
If you only cared enough to know where your precious beads and glowsticks come from, and who was making them maybe you would change your tune.

Ummm - maybe I am missing something here - but in re-reading my post I don't find that it made any judgements as to who should go to 'roo and who shouldn't and I don't see where it said that you did not belong at 'roo (your statement "-Funny how just because someone disagrees with you they dont belong at Bonnaroo.") My point had nothing to do with your opinion and everything to do with the the negative attitude towards anything that anyone posted - I think it is great that you have stated your opinion - and I am sure some people agree with you and some of us don't. As I said - we are a diverse group of people with Bonnaroo in common. PEACE, LOVE and BONNNAAAROOOO!!!!
god this thread is a buzzkill! i love glowsticks, i'm with you dudewheresmyroo. i have a friend who's only real concert before roo will have been coldplay, so he's in for a real treat.
even though it's something i didn't see live, one of my favorite musical moments is a glowstick war on the phish-IT DVD. you see all these glowsticks being thrown at stage and trey has this huge smile on his face...you can tell he just loves life and music and phish. and then he catches one and holds it up to the crowd. great moment
anyways, i'm gonna be getting some of those soft glow rings to use at the police and (hopefully) the cheese. i like the idea of synchronizing the glowsticks with message in a bottle.
how 'bout red glowsticks during roxanne? ;D
also, i'd bet big money this is the ONLY police show where they have glow sticks thrown. and i'll bet they love it
In Killface's defense, he IS an evil Supervillian who's plans are constantly thwarted by lack of funds and the idiots around him. He's bound to be frustrated and lash out from time to time.
It's like a party where one guy keeps being a drunkass. Like, you calm him down like "hey, man, peace bro, he didn' t mean to spill his drink on you," and then he's like "WHAT!? you aren't going to baby me!"
I've never even been able to find one single glowstick to pick up, as much as I wanted to, and believe me I wanted to. Those things aren't what gets left behind.
I don't wear mardi gras beads.
The problem might be in your delivery, killface. I'll discount the possibility that you really are just grabbing at straws in your efforts to prove us all wrong, and I'll assume for the moment that you knew all of this about the beads and china and everything.
However, you should have said all that in the first place, and then you wouldn't have come off as so relentlessly petty. Just something to work on for the future.
And I still love you, man. Maybe we can meet up at Bonnaroo and I can share some of my heady tobacco with you. (What else would you put in those pipes? It says tobacco only...)
Oh yeah, and I'm still intent on organizing stick throwing during The Police's set (I don't think Tool would like it, but like I said, I think we'll find out anyway).
As soon as all this hullabaloo passes over, we'll get back to that.
^^^karma to you - you have managed to put into words what I attempted and only mangled

your negative attitude really does not fit the Bonnaroo vibe
Apparently you like to read between the lines and I will be more careful in posting in the future. But that does not say that I am judging nor that you should not be there - it says exactly what it states.
What are you talkingt about. I started by trying to explain how one band doesnt want them at their shows. Then I inserted my opinion.
How could I even prove anyone wrong? How in the world would I prove that you are wrong and that you actually dont like glowsticks? Thats dumb as it gets. Most people do not know/care where the things they buy come from. I do.
and we are so glad you do - because I am one that does not know - not sure it would chnage my use of things - but I always appreciate the enlightenment of others that are more educated in such matters.

Well sense you want to be enlightened its 10-16 year old Chinese girls that are not allowed to attend school that are making your party favors. They earn in a week what you pay for a single one.

enjoy ;D
I actually attempted to view the website posted. As I said - it won't make a difference as to whether I throw Mardi Gras beads or not (I don't buy them - I catch them and throw them back) any more then reading stuff that Peta hand out will turn me into a vegetarian (which before I get blasted for that remark - my 13 year old is a vegetarian and I support her choice and applaude her decision)
As to the negative - if you read back over this whole thread - I have not been negative at all - I value and respect your opinion - I understand you don't want glowsticks thrown at a particular show based on the fact that the band itself posted on their own website that they don't want them thrown - but as someone else stated - there will be thousands of people at the shows, they may not know about the bands wishes - ALL of them certainly are not here at inforoo - so regardless- there will probably be glowsticks thrown.
When I state that you have a negative attitude, maybe I need to rephrase that and state that you have developed a very defensive and prickly attitude with anyone who has not immediately agreed with your opinion.
well, they say opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one. Can't we just move on and talk about the shows where we want to throw glowsticks and see if we can't come up with a plan to make it look cool and help us be aware of other inforooers in the crowd with us.

If you read the post they asked for their close fans to get the word out to the people who do not know.
There were people saying that they dont care what the band wants that if they go to the show there will be glowsticks thrown. Thats negative. Me point blankly explaining things is just that. Direct and point blank.
I personnaly dont see the pros(being something cool to look at) outwheighing the cons. Its not like I am gonna scream at people with glowsticks. But when you have people like dude that could care less how anyone else feels on the matter then of course I will defend my position.
Awesome. Is there really an argument over glowsticks every year?
Oh yeah. Goes something like this (paraphrased ) - person a: I like glowsticks. What concerts should we throw them at? person b: Glowsticks are lame. Give it up. person a: Don't piss on my parade! You're lame! person b: No, you're lame! person a: No, you're lame!
I found em...there are apparently all kinds of accessories...lol, "glow rings" generally on these things are actual rings, like for your fingers.
Are the bracelets or the necklaces the ones that hurst the least? Does that make sense?
From what I've heard from people that got them on e-bay, it looks like that really is the way to go price-wise. Oh well, three months to figure it out...
So what is the bonnaroo vibe that you claim I dont fit because I dont like glowsticks?
I dont like glowsticks but you all refuse to do what I want so your negative and dont fit bonnaroo. Do you see how ridiculous that is???
I am simply trying to explain where I am coming from. Just because you all disagree that makes me Dr. Badvibes.
i dont think anyones said that someone dosent belong at roo.(well except maybe you) we are saying your negativity dosent belong in this thread. i guess we should have had a thread for golowstick joy and another for glowstick hating.
and you didnt just come in and say that you didnt like them and sts9 would prefer you didnt throw them. you came in all puffed up looking for an argument saying that people havent been to fests so you know better then them. and that people with glowsticks and dacning arent there for the music. now your friggin talking about chinese girls making beads. give it a rest. chinese kids make our elctronics, toys, clothes, shoes, purses, cookware, etc... etc.. etc... your seriously worried about mardi gras beads???
point is if a bunch of people wanna talk about which show they are going to throw glowsticks at dont come in and try to piss on thier parade. go make a thread for that glowstick hating stuff. or make your point politely and leave it at that.
also id love for you to take a pic at roo, or any fest, of the thousands of glowsticks left laying around after a show. it dosent happen. people enjoy them and pick them up and take them with them.

They really don't ever get left on the ground, though. In fact, last year one guy had a hippie trap. It was a glowstick tied to a long string, and when you grabbed at it he'd snatch on it. Scared the hell out of my friend.
Your right brah. your uber hippieness has prevailed. Enjoy your glowstick bonanza that creates zero trash. Your so totally heady. I can tell by the pictures in your sig
