MMJ + Chastain = GLOWSTICK WAR!!!

[black]

The best time at a MMJ show is when there is 1000 glowsticks flying through the air.  Bonnaroo, Madison Square Garden on New years, etc.  I don't care if you're into it or not, just trust me ...ITS AWESOME!   :D  Who's with me?!?!?

[ms. yvon]

not to be too much of a buzz kill, but i really dislike when people throw glowsticks at shows.

it hurts to get pelted with them.

the bands invariably end up getting hit with them

somebody cracks one open and flings all the paint around.

i wage a single person campaign in opposition to the throwing of glowsticks.

other than that:  have a rad time at the show!  [smiley=beer.gif]

I remember some people were trying to throw glowsticks on the roof of the stage at the Louisville show in 08 and some came down and hit the band members, they didn't say anything about it but it's still not cool. >:(

in addition to the above negatives, i feel the same way about glowsticks as i do about doing "the wave" at sporting events.

both are saying to the performers: "despite your best efforts, what you are doing is not enough to keep me entertained. therefore, i must find some other way to amuse myself." it's extremely rude behavior.

glowsticks are bullsh!t.  go throw them at your buddies after the show, leave them the hell out of the concert.

'the wave' should go under the 'jorts' thread...

Triple.  I stand with you, my glowie-hatin' brothers and sisters!  

They create unnecessary plastic waste.  Aren't a lot of you glowie folk supposed to be hippies?   ;) ;D

I'm guessing this post's author is feeling a bit like Pee Wee right now...

Oh, and I second that emotion.  No glow sticks, beach balls, or balloons.

I'd agree if its Bonnaroo and I'm tripping balls from 12-4am.  Those things are like aliens interacting with sky and reflect wonderfully off the bands instruments.

However for "normal" shows (if you can call MMJ shows that), it's annoying as hell.  This will not be encouraged for or by fans of the music, primarily.  You can go to an afterparty and play with your toys later.

Yeah, agreed, but what about water balloons?

[Soulshine]

Once I ate a fistful of mushrooms and put one of those little glowsticks (the kind you chew on) in my mouth and it broke and I was spitting out green glowy stuff and I did not feel good about it.  :-/

[ALady]

Oh man.  Is it bad if I laughed?   ;D

[Soulshine]

Not at all. Once I came to the conclusion that they were not chemicals that were going to kill me instantly I thought it was pretty funny too.   :D

[ALady]

Ah, that's good.  I love a happy ending!   :)

[mjkoehler]

I hate glow sticks. Worst thing for concerts. It's disrespectful to the band to chuck them at them while they are playing.

[manicfanatic]

I hate those fucking things!! >:( >:(

[johnnYYac]

I guess I'll have to rethink my outfit for the Birmingham show  :-[

[ms. yvon]

now to be referred to as "blowsticks"   [smiley=grin.gif]

[TheBigChicken]

Oh man.  Is it bad if I laughed?   ;D

me too ;D  probably couldn't get the taste out of your mind either :-X
