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.
hahaha - wish I had seen that - maybe I will try that this year - should be amusing
Pink during the Flaming Lips' cymbal crashes? Any particular song anyone wants?
I love so much independent music, but the only Flaming Lips song I know was the one from the Batman Forever soundtrack...the one with U2 on it anyway. Was that Batman Forever?
i dont think its possible to really plan a glowstick war for certain songs. last year everyone wanted to throw them during phil and friends playing tennesee jed but they didn't play it

I'm a TOOL zealot, and I saw them at Coachella last year. Some glowsticks got thrown on stage, and Mr. Keenan picked some up and put them on his belt in between songs.
But I don't know what they thought of it. Maybe they're not really concerned what the crowd does.
Heh, when they came out on stage, he yelled "Good evening hippiiiiies! I smell patchouli!" Draw from that what you will.

Dud'e that's freaking awesome. And just so you guys know. I'll be deep in that crowd at Tool with a couple hundred glowsticks and you can be sure I'll be trying to get that shit started at some point. Look out for me!!!!
And Bradaroo, that was one of the coolest glowstick wars I've ever seen. My girlfriend and I were really tired so we decided to go lay in the sand at the Which Stage because no one was there yet. So we took a short nap and woke up and just chilled with the crowd as it got thicker. Well all of a sudden the crowd from the What stage doubles if not triples the size that it was like instantly as Trey takes the stage. Then glowstick madness, but not just glowsticks in that one. There were balloons, and blow up animals, and all kinds of stuff bouncing on top of that crowd. It didn't last long but it was for sure a sight to see!!!!
Another thing, I asked this on another thread which got locked for good reasons (it should probably be destroyed too and never see the light of day again) but anyways, it's an honest legit question. How are the rules on glowsticks at Bonnaroo? Do they frown upon it because I plan on bringing alot of them this year mainly just to have fun with but I don't want to piss anyone off or even worse get kicked out of the festival. Thanks!

oh btw, not to keep beating a dead horse or anything, but regarding STS9 and glowsticks at their shows:
at langerado last week, i have never seen as many people with lighted toys as i did at the STS9 festival show friday night. now, i did see several instances where security was wandering around through the crowd and telling people with loose glowsticks that they had to put them away (mine were tied to my strings, so i wasn't approached). but on the whole, STS9 was probably the most thoroughly glowed-out show of the entire weekend (even beating Bisco, if you can believe that) so phear not!
Maybe I'll throw myself to the dogs, but my back's not to the wall Maybe I'll lay some bricks for the man, but the days just aren't that long So if I settle back and chill will I see far enough to feel the angel's dream? I thought it was the Story of the World!

Some one asked this question before, maybe in this same thread but I cant remember. As far as I know, I've never heard of anyone getting glowsticks taken away from them, at Check-in gates or in Centeroo. It seems like a lot of people bring them in large quantities too, so you should be good unless some one else on here knows differently.

My camp brought them by the thousands last year and had no problems getting them in past the Centeroo Gates. If i have the extra cash i plan on getting a few tubes of glowsticks again this year. Look out for giant eruptions of green and blue at TOOL!

Maynard will stop a show if people start getting violent with each other. Getting tagged in the head with a glowstick can sting a bit, but it's nothing compared to being trampled. I don't think TOOL will care much.

yeah, i personally threw 3000 glowsticks at the beggining of radiohead - "house of cards".. one of the funnest experiances in my life. this year ill be bringing at least another 3 k or so. my friend and i have turned this into a hobby.
sorry for the people who get knocked in the eye!
And to answer the guy's question about security not letting you through the gates.. just explain to him you're not selling them.
Okay, so the stick wars look cool and everything. But...I must admit, I am one of the skeptics on this topic. Yes, I nervous about getting hit in the eye, because my with my luck, I will. Plus, I'm way shorter than the average peeps and I am also nervous about catching an elbow in the face while someone is launching some. I am not condoning, but will be definately be on my guard while it's happening. I'm skeeerrrrrred.
seriously i have been in a few, and i tend to stare up at em and i have never taken one in the eye. and most people bring the skinny braclet ones that dont hurt at all. its those big oldskool thick hard ones that can do damage. ive never seen anyone injured n a glow war. but i know it happens. just so infrequently that i have never seen it or known anyone whos had it happen. but if you really worried about some swimming goggles would probably be a hit at roo ;D

:-XHa! Some goggles would be just cool anyway. I could look like that fish guy in Hell Boy, or something. Although, I don't really want to eat rotten eggs.

one of the best glowstick things (i wouldnt call this one a war exactly) was at langerado this past year during the New Pornographers set. people were tossing around the thin rings, and the band asked the audience to throw them up on stage, where they put them on their heads, instruments, etc. pretty funny way to get into the whole glowstick thing for a band
has anyone ever thought of putting glowsticks inside balloons and throwing those around?
hmm i'd thought about it once before randomly but never tried it. you might take away from the balloon's advantages by adding a glowstick bracelet's weight to it, and just create a balloon that doesn't go far with some light in it. but i'd certainly be curious to find out how it goes if someone gives it a shot

we have done it before. we plan to bring a couple hundered balloons to roo. it makes the balloons not quite as floaty but it still works good in a crowd. they are also cool inside of clear beachballs. we also get a helium balloon kit from walmart and tie some glowsticks to the balloons and send them up to mark our camp. i will be saving the bulk of mine for the keller williams incident latenight that i really hope happens. but im thinking that were gonna have to get something going for the inforoo jam session. that needs a glow war!
