Flaming Lips do Great Gig in the Sky?? Bassnectar? Let's pic a set and DEMOLISH it!
Yes, we are shamelessly plugging our site: GSW, but we are offering tubes of 100 concert-friendly 8" THIN glow sticks -called Show Sticks- for $5.99. AND each tube purchased enters you into a draw to win two tix to 'roo. AND a portion of each sale is donated to the Mockingbird Foundation (mbird.org) to support music education for kids across the country!
And if glow sticks aren't your thing, check us out anyways - expect to see a serious collection of set photos organized by artist on the site after 'roo. www.GlowStickWars.com

That would be dope. And to clarify, Bonnaroo doesn't officially sanction any of this... but honestly, who doesn't love a nice glow stick war? especially when the price is right, money goes to charity, and you can win tickets to bonnaroo ..
Please check out the site... if you're on this msg board - it IS right up your alley!

^ I could see that .
We should totally organize this, agree on one or two bands, and go crazy. I'm down for Zapp's suggestion, that beat is sweet. I thought Deadmau5 would be a more obvious choice, I'm surprised I haven't seen a lot of action towards them...

Although ebay may have a great price for 1000+ glow sticks - we just want to put a friendly reminder out there: GSW is designed for and run by fans. We donate a portion of proceeds to charities that support our community music programs. When you buy now at glowstickwars.com you are also entered into a draw to win two free tickets to bonnaroo. Frankly, we need the support - we're trying to create something that extends far beyond glow sticks. Hopefully that counts for something that might beat out a slightly lower price

^^no, but people are getting free ticket to do this job, so in a way he's providing work for volunteers. Not the worst thing ever.
Disco will be the best place because people won't be crammed shoulder to shoulder and there will be wookies running around picking up the sticks and coordinating their throws, last year at rothbury was amazing.

We will be donating 10% of revenue (not profit) to mbird. And the waste concerns are valid - glow sticks are not an ideal product. However, we've made our packaging recyclable and durable so that the tubes can be re-used for all sorts of things. And we're not suggesting anyone go out and buy something they didn't intend to buy anyways - the message is that IF you're going to bring some sticks to 'roo, why not get them at a great price and from a source that will donate something to a good cause. We're not perfect, but we are trying to at least be a better alternative in many ways.
We're selling 200 for $11.98 .... maybe it's worth a look? glowstickwars.com
That's without shipping, right?
If I wasn't so tight on money, I'd go ahead and try you guys out, especially with the ticket giveaway and donating a percentage to a good cause...
I'm not even sure I'll spend the money on sticks for sure, but I know the cheapest (including shipping) that I can find is on eBay. I've gotta watch every dollar I spend right now. Now if I could somehow find a cheap place nearby that's equal or lesser to eBay, then that'd be awesome, but not sure if that's possible. *shrugs*
Whatever. I go to the surplus store in town and buy 200 for twenty bucks.
Well theirs are cheaper at 200 for 12, however the June 4th delivery makes me suspect they have not bought them, and are going to wait until they get money first so it is a little chancier. 5.99 for 100 is a pretty good deal, if they are different colors. The shipping however is 10 dollars for one pack, and 30 dollars for ten tubes which is pretty excessive it is not like they weigh that much. All in all I think I will buy from someone who has them in stock, and offers a better deal on shipping than them. You can get a better price from Glow Granny or Premier glow. In fact we can get 3200 from Premier glow for 160 shipped vs 279 shipped from these guys, and they have it in stock.

Don't worry Ellie, there will be plenty of 'wars to go around!
Nothing wrong with Bassnectar! lol...
And yeah. I plan on gettin mine from eBay, if I get them...or check out those Target ones. The only thing with buying from China/hong kong/etc is that it takes FOREVER to get out here. 20 days or so. Keep that in mind.
