glowme is really desperate for those dollars.... he's very defensive.

i think its great that you're donating money to mbird. but im sure you hope that telling people that will boost your sales. (thats the only reason your getting exposure on .net, right?)

i think glow sticks have just become a distraction from the music. instead of the cool interactive experience that trey is describing in that video it's become something for people to do at shows instead of listen to the music. im so sick of having to get out of the way for some kid to collect glowsticks off the floor so he can throw them up in the air when ck puts the white lights on and trey hits a high note. it doesnt even look cool. glow sticks should be reserved for dark jams when the lights get dim... it used to be exciting, now its just every single show for the whole show people are throwing glow sticks.

honestly i think doing this at the beginning of the show is just going to add to the typical 3.0 phenomenon of the first 2 songs of the show being the highest energy. the crowd is so amped when the lights go down and than the energy dies off because no one cares about the music. a lot of them are there for the spectacle.

and remember, you are making money off this... probably quite a bit of money, so stop acting like you're some mystical wizard who's just bringing good vibes to the masses out of the kindness of your heart. you're running a business. that is all.

and from the looks of these comments most people agree with me. so just be happy that the noobs will buy up your product and you'll get paid. stop acting like your doing every phish fan a favor by selling us your plastic pieces of garbage that will be in a land fill the next day.
