I'd be too tempted to eat the marshmallows, which I know would be a bad idea
Yeah, think of the delicious hoof in every bite! I remember being amazed by the marshmallow war at my first phish show at alpine 98, during Fluffhead of course....Man, I think my eyes are tearing up Memories.....
Seriously though we need to make the tortilla/marshmallow war happen. Ill bring some for sure.
im down. ill definetly get a couple hundered tortillas. i thinkt the corn ones are 100 for $1.39 at walmart. and ill bring some marshmellows as long as it aint raining. i was in the middle of a large marshmellow fight at a u of m football game in the rain and it was a yucky mess.
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**
sweet, tortilla war on. so what do you just throw them like a frisbee or what? sounds cool, never actually seen a tortilla war though. do they come in different colors and stuff or what?

I work in a mexican resturant and we play tortilla frisbee all the time... The corn ones dont fly nearly as well as the flour...
this might sound weird, but is a #11 on your menu a burrito, taco & enchillada???
also, if we're gonna be tortillas, let's make sure we throw them away from the tapers. they have some pretty expensive gear and i'm sure they wouldn't appreciate a "flying saucer" landing on one of their mic stands...lol!!!!
please, as has been previously stated a bunch, if they are glowSTICKS dont throw them, even if you already bought 2000 of them, and if you didnt buy them yet get the rings.
just remember that umphreys has spoken out several times about glow sticks because tehy have been hit repeatedly. glow sticks are dangerous. get the soft necklaces. and if you must throw them please try to not hurt anyone and certainly keep them away from the stage. the tent makes you throw them at more of a line drive then a pop fly and that makes it even more damgerous. i love them and think they add to the vibe but lets use the soft glow items and not the hard plastic sprears with sharp plastic edges.
Why the hell would anyone throw glowsticks at a concert for a band that actually took the time to post something on the internet saying how much they hate them?
That sounds like a easy way to screw up your music.
There is a very serious matter that we've addressed before, but in light of recent happenings at Umphrey¹s McGee shows, it unfortunately has to be addressed again: DO NOT bring glowsticks to Umphrey's McGee concerts. Last weekend in Madison, we politely asked the audience not to throw them at the band or on the stage, but throughout the night, fans continued to throw glow sticks on the stage and in some instances, at band members and members of our production crew. In the future, we need your help to let other folks know that throwing things at the band is only going to interfere with the band's ability to put on the best show that we can. We appreciate the crowd's energy and involvement in the shows, but glowsticks are the wrong way to use this energy. We truly appreciate the crowd's part in the overall energy of the show, but those who want to be involved need to find new ways of showing your enthusiasm without throwing glowsticks. I'm not sure if those who are throwing them understand the seriousness of the matter....when we're up there playing music and objects are flying at us or past our heads, we're most concerned with not losing an eye, as opposed to performing to the best of our ability. At the end of the night, the result can be incredibly frustrating - there is no doubt that throwing things at the band distracts us and often breaks down what we are trying to create. We want to give you, the audience, everything we've got, and when something like avoiding glowsticks is a reason that we fall short, it seems absurd that we let glowsticks in to our shows in the first place. Of course, the majority of you who are reading this already know everything that was just said. However, we need to find a way to let people who aren't as in the loop know that this kind of behavior is not going to be tolerated in the future.
The following will be enforced to the best of our ability.....keep in mind that these are in the interest of having the best and safest show for everyone: 1) Glowsticks will no longer be allowed to be brought in to Umphrey's McGee concerts. If you attempt to bring them in and are caught, you may be denied admission. This policy will be clearly stated outside every show so that if you do have them with you, you will have an opportunity to leave them behind. 2) Anyone who throws a glowstick (or anything else, for that matter) at the stage will be found and escorted immediately out of the venue. If glowsticks do happen to pop up at a future show, please exercise responsibility and either help us by putting them away or keeping them to yourself. We've reached a point where we're either going to need the audience to help us police this behavior or we're going to need to hire more security on a nightly basis. We'd hope that we can make the former work because the latter would certainly be a disappointing choice to have to make. It is too bad that it has come to this point, but people need to realize that glowsticks can cause injuries to the band, and to other fans, and damage our equipment as well. Folks, THE GLOWSTICKS ARE NO LONGER CLEVER. Please keep that in mind.
I'm thinking they would be best at Phil n Friends, people are way more spread out, and the stage is pretty high, and far for too many sticks to go on the stage.
i second the phil idea. its still a great glow stick war show and it spread out with no roof. but still the problem could be solved by throwing the soft glow items with no edges. you still shouldnt throw them onto the stage.
dude, in North Carolina you can get the glow rings at the dollar store. Im going to stock up and throw them guilt free cause they are soft. they arent as bright but they are not painful to get hit by. they may not be "clever" but they are fun...
