Hilari and I just bought a shitload of glow necklaces and bracelets! (and a really cool color-changing ball) We also have a couple of dozen glow sticks left over from last year! So, we are officially "good"!
I think that if an artist requests "no glow sticks", then that's cool. I'm sure STS9, or any other band, will put on a better show if they aren't pissed off at the crowd. I think glow stick wars are pretty cool, and I'm sure that plenty of artists think the same. As for which show will have the biggest war, my guess would be Superjam.

glow stick wars might be cool to look at, but inevitably they (the glowsticks) always end up being broken open and waved all through the air. some inconsiderate ass got that glow crap in my eye last year and it burned for a solid hour, i couldn't even open my right eye. it really kind of ruined the show.
if you must throw a glow stick, fine, just don't be a d!ck about it. i hate watching people throw them as hard as they can to hit somebody like 5ft in front of them. i don't know, i guess glow sticks are kind of a love/hate thing with me, leaning more towards the hate side for sure.
I have a confession, it's been bothering me for a long time... In 2002, at the Trey closer I threw a glowstick. Not a bad thing except that i had a little ladybug clock thingy attatched to my wrist with one of those plastic springy bracelets and it flew off my wrist when I threw the glowstick. I just KNOW that it whacked somebody.

I mean.
Man.
The glowstick wars, planned or not are a lot of fun.
You shouldn't throw them AT the band.
The crowd should be able to handle their own, though. I mean...I don't get up on stage and tell the bands how to play. They shouldn't tell me how to watch a show.
I've been beaned in the head with one or 2 sticks in my day (superjam 06, anyone)...no big thing.
As long as everyone has fun and doesn't take it personally, i see no issues with it.

Just dont throw them at Tool at least, other than that I dont care as long as I can still see their light show and not a bunch of glowsticks everywhere.
"That's the big thing about education. People can be book smart, but not really intelligent about anything else. A lot of times they just taking in all this information and regurgitate it. It's much more important to process it and personalize it. To apply it to your world, to your life. You have to walk the walk, or you can't really report about it honestly."

Yeah last year 99.9 of the glowthings at radiohead were rings. It that one rogue stick you gotta be on the lookout for. When I see the heavy sticks on the ground I pick them up and take them out of circulation. Rings get sent back up.
karma for that... glow rings, not sticks people! ;D
at mmj at langerado some people were tossing these biiiiiiig ole glowsticks around. not just the normal stick ones-these things were a good 20 times the size. i would definently hate to be hit by one of those things

word. glow rings only. sticks should not be thrown IMO. sticks hurt people, rings do not.
all i know is most all of mine will be let loose at string cheese. cant see any other show at night working as well as that for me. im sure there will be some at mule but i expect that cheese will take the glow war title this year.

I love glowsticks! BUT, last year at Voodoo during the chili peppers set, someone chucked one at me and straight up hit my right eye. For the rest of the set, I was crying pretty much involuntarily from the pain. So, i'm all good as long as nothing hit me in the facial area!
Should have rocked those sweet stunna shades. haha I have some too.
At super Jam last year I noticed all the people in front of me had the glowing chemical reaction all over their clothes and hair. It irritates skin and your eyes. Soooo watch out for that, but i'll make sure to chuck them right back up in the air. The big ones i'll just attach to the person's backpack in front of me secretly.
I'm glad I read this. Ive never actually experienced a glow war before, but it sounds awesome. Now I know to keep the big glowsticks I bought for something else and get some of those glow bracelets for one of these!
