Anyone with suggestions on where to find the best deal on glow sticks online?

Glow Stick Wars.com is (I believe) a fan run business that sells "show sticks" which are lighter and won't hurt. I believe they have also done fundraising for the Mockingbird Foundation, which is cool.

I'll keep my personal opinion about glowsticks out of this post.

Glowsticks are so 1997, they are a complete environmental and monetary waste, and they pale in comparison to what Kuroda is doing on stage.

Also, kids these days like to throw bunches of them in the air when jams peak, which is ridiculous because that's when Kuroda's lights peak as well, making the light from the glowsticks impossible to see.

They distract from the music and it's inevitable that assholes will throw them at the band.

Did I cover everything?

Umm, I already had a thread about this where .netters decided, and I won by votes. You need a recount or something?

Sounds like a classic case of illuminaphobia stemming from a traumatic childhood event involving glowsticks to me.

I agree with you for the most part. Just trying (rather unsuccessfully) to be a jokester.

Glowsticks have never once affected my enjoyment of a phish show. Wouldn't care if they were raining from the heavens as long as the band continued to play

Glowsticks are only cool if you use the hard ones to hit dress wearing w00ks in the head.

I got hit in the head with a big hard one at SPAC and those hurt. The little ones are cool until people connect them and walk the chain right over my head and expect me to help.

This one time at the DCU while on the floor before the show someone said they were gonna throw a glow stick right at Trey's face. I put my arm around his shoulder looked him dead in the eye, with the calmest face and said, "If you do that I will break your neck." He walked away and I have never seen him again.

Terrible for the environment. Even though the liquid is non toxic, it's trapped inside he plastic thus making the plastic non recyclable.

This is the only real problem I have with them. The bottom feeders who insist on picking up every single flow stick. I gladly knee them in the face.
