Say NO to Glow Sticks!!!

[landshark]

Lets make this easy, if you throw, you pickup and dispose after the fun is over and no throwing at the stage. Who do you think picks up this gooey mess after the fun subsides?

Squirtguns do not leave a mess behind and are actually a service to the mass when the heat is high.

 If you are lighthearted and love to have fun , even if the marshmellows were banned  and the squirtguns, we will still find a way to shake it up.

 Ban shman, step up and clean up.

I am in favor of getting rid of Squiet Guns!

Oh yeah I know who I'm lookin for next fest.

Ok I will be on the look out....and I will try to learn to spell better too!

I don't mind the mallows...or the glow sticks...or the beach balls. What I don't like is people, adults and kids alike, assuming that I want to be squirted with a squirt gun or spray bottle. Every time. Especially when I have my phone or camera or book/kindle out and get showered with water from a random spray, then have to quickly make sure nothing got water where it shouldn't go. I'm not an old fogey, and I love squirt guns as much as the next guy, but I'd love it if people would only squirt passersby who invite it.

OK so next time while at fest identify yourself by wearing a rubber chicken strapped to your chest and I promise, I won't shoot

[Pirate Looks at --]

I think it's ok to shoot the rubber chicken, just not the glasses, cameras, or Nooks!

[Debbiefromtucson]

I really prefer not to get shot without permission too... What some of you "mountain folks" think is warm enough for squirting, some of us desert folks think is almost chilly..LOL

[ShatteredArm]

I don't mind the squirting, unless I'm carrying food or something else I don't want water on.  Some of the kids with the squirt guns don't seem to appreciate that.

will you dance in the rain with me next Fest?
and oh yeah just say no to somethin' (back on topic )

While I haven't brought anything to throw to a show, I've volleyed all of the above.  "If you can't beat 'em join 'em."  Cleaning up all the mallows on our tarp after the Dennen set was pretty time consuming, like a minuet.  Yeah, PB discouraging the throwing of glow sticks wouldn't hurt me a bit, I'd applaud.  No mallows would be just fine w/ me.  Perhaps we could outlaw self-righteous attitudes of contempt towards our fellows while we're at it.  I remember filling up a fire extinguisher w/ water and compressing w/ bike pump as a kid. riding around on a three wheel delivery bike, two wheels and a platform in front, just soaking people.  Perhaps that's part of why I ask my kids to be sure people want to get sprayed, or have sprayed you before soaking, or misting, them.  Live and learn, Love and burn, Don't tread on me.  Throw LOVE abundantly, w/ truth, flowers have a better purpose.  It was a good year at TBF.  Low level of discouraging incidents overall.

Call me self-righteous and I will laugh and shine you on. Hit a small child or baby with a glow stick and you may get your feelings hurt. And that's all I have to say about that.
