those were better than glowstick wars for me this year. at dmb they were around the water fountain area and lit a bunch off right behind us. awesome!!!
Does anyone know where we can buy these in person or is ebay/a website the best bet? I'm wondering if i can find a few for next weekend when I go to the Desiderata Festival in NY... it'd be super pretty there.

I saw them at several shows throughout the weekend. Someone right near us at Bassnectar set one off right next to the tent and it got stuck in a tree and you could hear everyone around us gasp because we all thought the tree was going to catch on fire. Luckily it didn't but I was scared for a minute there!!!

To avoid s&h your best bet is to scour fireworks stores if you have any nearby or on the way to Desiderata. I don't know where you are at or if fireworks stores are legal in your area, but most fireworks stores sell them for about 5 bucks apiece. It's probably best to go with a manufactured wish lantern or sky lantern because there is absolutely no telling what could happen with a homemade one. Could end up reigning fire on some poor random person's (or worse, their kid's!) head with a homemade one. Buuuut..
I live in Virginia and we don't have fireworks stores, as far as I'm aware. Just the fireworks stands that come out close to July 4th. I think PA should though. Maybe I'll stop by 1 on the way for a potty break, lol.

I helped build about 30 of the bridges in and around Richmond, I loved Virginia for the time I was there. Yeah I don't remember ever seeing any fireworks stores. Did see interstate signs talking something about how the air force will pull you over in a jet for speeding tickets.
Hmm, I don't know what I'm looking at here but apparently fireworks is a little tricky in PA. PA residents cannot get fireworks without a fireworks permit, but I called a fireworks store in PA and they said that doesn't apply to out of state residents, just to make sure you have a valid 18+ out of state ID on you. Might want to watch out because apparently transporting fireworks is illegal? I'm really not sure what I'm looking at here but you should be fine as long as you aren't waving roman candles out the window at people
Yeah. Fireworks (at least the kind that go up high in the air) are illegal here so if anyone wants real fireworks, they go to WV or PA or something.
air force? ...there are signs that there's radar from aircrafts to observe speeding, but...i kinda think it's a hoax to scare you into staying within the speed limit. *shrugs* if anything, the cops that hide along highways and whatnot are the ones that catch you.
I've had friends buy from PA, but that's odd that they'd limit in-state residents and not out-of-state cause more likely to be illegal if they're out-of-state. I'm 24 so age limit is fine. I never buy big fireworks though (plus I don't really have the money to anyway)...all i want are sky lanterns and maybe some sparklers, but sparklers count as fireworks, i think, and wouldnt be allowed. I don't think sky lanterns count in that rule though...
From the video Ellie posted, it was to the right side of the field (to the left from the stage).
I was down on the right side, about 20 feet behind the people actually lighting them up and sending them off. A few barely got off the ground and were floating to vendor/exhibit tents, and one got stuck in a tree.
However, this was DURING the show and not at the start (shown in the video). I just assume it's the same person. It was a guy in a Phillies jersey and some his friends.

I thought it was wonderful to watch for a split second during the show. I'm going to order some to teach my son about hot air balloons. He'll freaking love that.

Got mine from wish lanterns. They were a lot bigger than I imagined. 1.5' x 3' tall. They were supposed to last 12 minutes before they burn out. Mine lasted three but it soared so fast that it was nearly out of sight when it finally burned out.
