i would support this if it was before the second set, at least.

the glow stick thing has just gotten annoying. one spontaneous glow stick war per show during some dark jamming in the second set is enough for me... in 3.o every time trey hits a high note some kid is throwing hand fulls of glowsticks. its just lame when its a constant thing at every show.

also... ever think about the tons of non recyclable plastic that is being thrown out because of this.

the whole glowstick thing is lame... and now some company is doing everything in there power to sell more glowsticks, waste more plastic, annoy more people just to make a buck.

well, from that buck $0.10 goes to music education. so let's be realistic here - glow sticks are coming to shows one way or another, might as well go towards a good cause, no?

and this was just a fun idea to spark some energy to kick off the run... we think it would be pretty awesome if the band took the stage to a sea of glow sticks as their welcome committee!

lastly, we are donating FREE product to this event. and we are donating money to mbird simply for people joining our facebook page. i'm not sure the whole "just to make a buck" argument holds water here.
