FWIW, I brought in about 900 or so for Bassnectar (gave away about 100 in the campground). Even that was a PITA to haul around all day Saturday. If you're bringing 5,000, plan on giving away at least 1/2 of them unless you really enjoy packing around glowsticks. Then bring say 1700 to Pretty Lights and 800 to Feed Me.

I'm not planning on packing around any, I'm just donating to the cause since I didn't last year. I might save 50 for myself so I have something to throw, but I didn't buy them to carry around. They are WAY too bulky.
Little known fact, I had a couple extra passes last year, so I sold one to a cat in Seattle. He paid me using Paypal, the second or third time I've ever used that site. So I immediately forgot I had money in that account. That is why those 5,000 glow sticks cost me $4 on Ebay.

This year won't be as bad to haul them around since most people won't even be going in until around 6 and Pretty Lights is on at 10:15. Last year was a full day and Bassnectar was on at something like 11:30.
That being said, I have 2000 and I plan on giving a few hundred to the people who brought them (had them shipped to the states) and probably another 500 away in the campground. The remaining 1000 or so will be split between my friends.
I'm still really tempted to stand on the upper path in the beginning and throw them into the floor area. I just think it would look so much better from up there. Then again I'm sure there will be plenty of videos from that view anyway.

Some things never change. If you aren't responding to my post you are responding to, you should state this. Otherwise, you are just offering random advice to people while stating you didn't read the previous post where I stated I wouldn't be at Sasquatch until Friday night, and I never planned on hauling any of my glowsticks.

I'm thinking I'm gonna have to find some of you guys in the campground to get some glowstick donations. Pretty sure I've left it far too late and the funds just aren't really there this year, sigh.
I was really looking forward to bringing in at least a 1000 to hand out and throw around. It was so fun watching the huge smiles form on all these adult's faces as I gave them handfuls of glowing plastic for free. Oh well, maybe that can be me this year.

Gotcha. Next time I'm not responding to your post I am responding to, I will be sure to say "This is not a response to wonk".

I think I'm in the same boat. I'll probably pick up about a 100 on the way down but my funds are just a little too budgeted. Ah well. I'm fully expecting to be so happy I glow so that'll help!

Yes, I know that you have said that. (I might get drunk but not that drunk). But usually we are on the bus and I don't want to lug them around. When we come pick up Gibbons for Sasquatch we will grab some. That way we will also know how many will fit.

Wonk: I'm not hauling glowsticks around. Daver (next post): This year it will be easier to haul glowsticks around.
Clearer?

Cool, the way I saw it was this:
J-dawg: I will be doing this with my glowsticks. wonk: I will be doing this with my glowsticks. davers: I will be doing this with my glowsticks.
However, I now see what I should have said was:
I will be doing this with my glowsticks. However, this in no way should be seen as telling anyone else, especially wonk, what to do with their glowsticks. The US is a free country, and no one (in particular, no commie Canadian) should tell anyone what to do with their glowing tubes since that would be like spitting on the constitution, which would be sure to have said commie Canadian's ass beaten from several directions. Since Canadians are pussies and generally unable to defend themselves from even the weakest of Americans, Canadians should always be careful to not tell anyone what to do in America, even on the internet. This is the reason Canadians are so polite in the first place.
Better?
