Alright, everyone. It's getting to be that time. Bonnaroo is approaching, and as always, it is up to us to make it as amazingly fun and spectacular as possible. In keeping with that tradition, I think it's necessary for us to have as many glowsticks as humanly possible. Some of you may remember the Ghostland Observatory show last year, when we launched approximately 1,000 glowsticks into the crowd at once. It was such an epic, wonderful moment, and certainly it brought many smiles to many faces. If you want to relive that moment or just find out what I'm talking about, visit this link:
I think we owe it to ourselves to make this happen again in an even greater capacity. What we need is 2,000...maybe even 3,000 or more glowsticks to launch into the air at once during one of the late night tent shows (I'm definitely thinking Crystal Castles on this, but I'm open to other ideas). That many glowsticks is going to cost some decent money, but I know of a place in Athens, GA where I can go down and pick some up in bulk without having to pay shipping when I go down there in about a month to see Shpongle. It's going to be a really good deal, and if I can find some people to contribute to the cause, we can buy a ridiculous amount of glowsticks and do this thing really big. If you're interested in throwing down some money for this project, please send me a private message or e-mail me at bpcoakley@gmail.com. Hope to hear from some of you guys, and I'll see you all at Bonnaroo!!!!

What exactly is an anti-glowsticker? Someone who doesn't like light? Or color? I understand that some of the things can hurt you when they're flying through the air, but the thin glow necklaces and glow bracelets are for the most part harmless...
I'll let this go for now. We've had many a heated discussion about glowsticks in the past. The consensus is that glow rings are ok. Glowsticks.....not so much.

When i was a kid my dog was killed in a shower of glowsticks. how can you guys throw those things knowing good and well that little kid's pets are dying?

This needs to happen at a tent show so we can get some glowsticks circulating where there aren't already going to be thousands of them like at the Phish show. Also, I wouldn't call it so much of a glowstick war as I would call it a crazy amazing spectacular glowstick extravaganza. I'll keep you guys posted on which show this is going down at.
it still baffles me how you got all of those glowsticks inside centeroo! did one of you stand on the inside of the fence and the other throw your bag over to them or something because last year they confiscated my glowring bracelets... good thing i had some hidden in my sports bra!

put some glowsticks in a balloon, put lube on them, insert. You can fit THOUSANDS inside you!

Brian man, I gotta take a min to personally thank you. You are responsible for one of my most unforgettable Bonnaroo experiences.
I'll play it out for you. So I'm dead center partying my ass off at Ghostland last year, when I see this group of people making their way through the crowd carrying a huge blanket. Now, I’m trying to wrap my head around what exactly is happening, but at this point my mental state is somewhat askew. My first thought is that someone has passed out and they are carrying him/her in this blanket to get medical attention. But I realize they are moving closer to the stage and they all have huge smiles on their faces, so I quickly ruled that out. Then they come to a stop right beside me. I see them all squat down and begin counting. It’s at this point your Ghostland glowstick thread snaps back into memory and I realize what’s about to happen. Everyone yells THREE! Now dude, I don’t know how many glowsticks you guys actually had in there, but it looked like 500,000 were raining down on me. Like someone had a fire hose that sprayed only illuminated liquid and was dousing the crowd with it. It was beautiful beyond description.
So, thanks man. Most certainly one of my favorite experiences in three years on the farm.
I was on the other side of the tent, so it wasnt near me. I knew it was coming, or at least, I had read it was coming. Then, blammo, about a bazillion glowsticks erupted out of the crowd and I knew it was due to some inforoo planning. very awesome...
i did feel a bit bad for the person it landed on i expected to read "man crushed by glowsticks" in the bonnaroo beacon the next morning.
I think we should bring back glow stick man! I don't know who made him, but the glow stick man that was moving around the crowd at the Flaming Lips show in 2007 was awesome.
god, I hate: walking, the sun, large crowds, loud unexpected noises, bright lights in my face, cops, rain, dust, mud; why in the hell am i going to bonnaroo again?
i wonder how all the people working for clean vibes feel about all of this??
I'm sure they feel the same way about all the people that drink water from .5 liter bottles, smoke cigarettes, eat food on paper plates using disposable silverware, and don't sort their trash.
personally, after every show I pick up all my trash, and I get a lot of other peoples things also
point being - There is a lot of trash to be picked up, and throwing glowies will add to this trash. But I dont think it will make the level of trash abnormally high. I REALLY appreciate all that clean vibes does for us, but if they hated picking up trash then they wouldnt be doing it.
I have just never really felt the need for it. They were pretty fun when you were caught off guard by them and the whole show was experiencing it together. But now its kinda just become a cliche thing. When I am watching CK5 killing the lights along to the music in a way that no one can I dont really feel a need to see glowsticks flying through the air.

My Brother and I were in the back and these glow sticks came out. It was really cool especially with the gate guards taking everyone's glowsticks away. The cooler part was people kept handing them back. it was a backwards wave of glowsticks. From the back row it was very cool. Thanks
