Hey, you can get GREAT deals on glow stuff at some ebay stores. Like 1000 glow sticks for $50 and a bunch of the connectors that allow you to make a glow ball out of them. (Fun to give away a glow ball. Always makes someone so very happy!) One thing about these glow sticks; they usually start to dim after about an hour, but they are at least visisble all night and you cannot beat the price: shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=1000+glow+stick&_sacat=0&_odkw=glow+stick&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313
If these are the only thing holding back the Naked Glow Hooper, where do I find a LED hoop? ;D
Picked up an LED hoop for Quackers daughter here: moodhoops.com/ Reasonable price compared to many other sites and it came in very quickly- 2-4 days. Of course had to check it out and quality seems very good.
I just ordered one today from astralhoops.com Its going to take about a month to get here but thats because he custom makes every single order (thats how i want it though, usually the 37" size i'm looking for is not a standard option, and also this way i can make it to fit my style)
I have two of the Tqualizer t-shirt's one is a bunch of psychedellic swirls that pulses to sound. The second one is even more insidious it is the Superman S shield it pulses to sound as well and at some points the whole thing goes Kryptonite Green. I really keep hopeing that they come out with a Green Lantern one that would be the corn cat's meow. But my two light up shirts will serve me well. I have had people ask me all sorts of questions about them. Last year some girl in line at the port-opotties asked me to go to the bathroom with her so the potty monster would not strike. Another notable highlight was when I got accused of inventing things for Billy Mays. I told the person yes I invented MIGHTY PUTTY and mad a fortune off of it. And another person accused me of makeing it pulse with my mind. I pulled out the battery pack showed it to them and said it was a modified E-Meter I stole when I busted out of a convent of Scientologists in the late 90's. I told them L. Ron Hubbard had used it to personally scan me and make sure that I was o.k. to join up. And a hundred other weird questions comments tales etc. have had people try and buy the shirt off my back and some outright steal it. The one thing that sucks though is that I cannot jump into the fountain spontaneously. However as I said in another thread I have a shower and that makes up for it.
I'm not sure if I posted my video on here yet. Every time I wear my sound activated shirt, I get people starin at me and askin me where I got it... and where did I get it? ebay. I wish they made some shirts that were better fits for women, but it works so thats really what matters. I'm thinkin of tyin up the sleeves.

Check your local Michaels (craft store). I was in one today around Kingsport, TN they have 15 neon bracelets for a buck. In the tubes, looks like 7.5'' bracelets and connectors.

I posted this in another thread but this thread seems more appropriate so I will reiterate my post. I've ordered and received a full body black spandex suit and accompanying EL wire. I'm going to take the EL wire and sew it onto the arms, legs, torso, and head of the spandex so in the dark I will look like a glowing orange stickman. It's going to be great for late nights! (it's similar to the picture but with spandex material.)

I've not gotten a firm word on whether or not they'll give us trouble about El Wire in Centeroo.
I've got a messy idea going. 3 different color loops of El Wire flickering at different tempos. Coiled around me from knees to head. Over me ghost-style is a sheet very lightly spray-painted with a dusting of green glow paint. I found a flimsy thin King bed sheet. The sheet will diffuse the Elwire glow a bit as it simultaneously has a light green glow. Black felt marks out big alien eyes. Alien Ghostaroo!
Hopefully it looks decent at a distance at night. In any event, it will trip some people out.

Friday to you for adding to the overall festival environment! and for being from NC...
I've never had the urge to dress up or deal with the hassle of having some kind of costume on BUT I love that people do and it always fun when you're in the right state of mind to see somebody dressed up in something crazy. Kind of reminds me of the merry pranksters...wonder what they would have dreamed up if they'd had el wire

SO someone fill me in on the el wire stuff. I was thinking about buying one of the battery operated strands and just lacing it onto my camelbak or something. Maybe make a flag pole with that wrapped around. Would those ideas work well with it or is it more for attaching to clothes?
Also how bright is it exactly? Annoyingly? Blinding? etc

It's about the same flexibility as an ipod power cord.
As for brightness, it's hard to describe. If you have 20' of it wound tight it would be pretty bright. But 5' loose? It really depends on the color, as well. I have Aqua, orange, and yellow. Aqua is quite bright. Orange not so very much. But no matter what it's only bright in darkness.
If you could have your TV just display white, and then take a strand off the screen the width of the wire, that's about the brightness you're looking at.
There are different size wires, which will play on brightness. the aqua, blue and whites are brighter than other colors. It is not too bright, like annoying bright. You can use fishing line to sew it on to your clothes or you can use it on your flag pole. El wire is the coolest shit around. I love it. I have el-wire I bought 4 years ago. It has been used and abused like no other and it still works.
I went with Cool Neon. First time for me as well. Did the instant gratification link where the soldering is already done and you just pick the color, length, and driver. Can do it cheaper but opted for easy the first time. Went with 20 ft, red, and driver with on/off/blink. Thought about it for months. Best suggestion i can offer is decide what you want to do with it before you order.. dont order than say how can i use this. Posted on another thread so apologize for the repeat. Rather happy with the first time results. This is single line on the outside and doubled on the Quacker. Walked down the street and its clear at least 4 houses away. 9 volt battery. Followed Scrogs info - used 6 lb fishing line from walmart to secure.
Have not tried earrings as yet Katbur. Got a bunch of globie hair clips from Diva Bella. Really Happy with these.. they are quiet 'enough'. Getting more for the girls in our crew. Also got one of the flowers however the high pitched hum on the flower is rather annoying. At roo it would be okay on clothes but even with the music i suspect if it were worn in the hair it would 'quietly' drive one's brain to an unpleasant melt down. Please let us know if you try out earrings.
So I've already ordered a Blacklight headlamp, 2 of them actually
I'm going to get glow in the dark bubble mix, 2 bubble guns. I will shoot the bubbles into the air at night and then shine my UV headlamp onto them activating their glow!
I will also be getting some UV activated glow paint that is only visible when hit by blacklight. When my friend shines his headlamp on my face there will be a crazy monster face shining out at people and then when he takes it off it will just be my face.
No idea how well all of this is going to work as of now but I am damn excited!
OK, so I got my EL wire today. 2 colours 15 feet of each. I haven't bought the shirt I plan on installing the wire in but I did a test run with scotch tape. Kepp in mind in the final product the wire will be ran in the shirt to avoid the sloppy look.
It totally looks screwy because it is all on the outside and done with scotch tape. Icase you can't make it out there is a mushroom on one side and a big old Bonnaroo on the other. What do you guys think?
I totally can see that. Nice work. Is that front and back? Or are you going to combine them together? Fishing line or clear thread works when sewing into or on shirts and black tape over area of the wire you don't want to see.

^^This. Nice job Jacketman. Darning Needles work best with the fishing line. Pkg of 4 from ac moore, micheals, or walmart $1.95. 6lb spool of line is 2 bucks at Wallies. I put the excess wire under the flag material because the flag will be out during the day a well but still covered it with black tape. (First time with Gorilla tape vs run of the mill duct tape. J-H-Christ i stuck my fingers together about 4 times with that Sh*t.. good stuff.)
Maybe i just see things with a one track mind.. however you might want to make sure your mushroom stem lines are crisp so dirty birds dont think you have a smurf or giant sperm on your back. ;D Do post when you are done. Its looking awesome even with tape.
