I do agree with dontoro here. I don't really care for the light show thing, but I'm not one to judge those that do, and there's no question that some of them are very good at it.

This is still only half of what a good light show will look like.
Donnie Darko Style.

I'll admit I'm mostly reacting to the teenagers who are higher than they can handle, acting like absolute morons at the Skrillex type shows I've seen lately. They literally spend the entire concert on the floor sucking on pacifiers, blocking everyone's path from walking, and seemingly unaware that they're even at a show. KIDS THESE DAYS

I'm not being at all petty. Just entirely honest. When I see someone staring at someone else doing that shit, I feel nothing but embarrassment for them both.

KIDS THESE DAYS Oh yeah those people are hilarious, I was at Justice in Vegas a few weeks ago and kept getting these kids wanting light shows... Justice doesn't really have a huge set-up at least by modern standards, so I was glad to have my lights to amuse me. If someone's giving out light shows, multiple shows at a time, they're likely one of the more sober ones at that show, (you kind of have to be,) I love giving light shows to Sigur Ros or Explosions in the Sky, truly trying to represent music through movement.

You don't have the time, talent or initiative to express yourself freely and openly like some of these people you feel embarrassed for;just watch that sharp turn into becoming a judgmental ass.

At the same time, while I was disparaging the recent hooping trend I will admit I have seen some truly beautiful hooping. I am sure a (small)handful of light show 'givers' are very talented, but I know for a fact that most are incorrigible jackasses.

The ladies in Dontoro's group are about as top-notch as you'll ever see from hoola hoopers. They were so rad last year!

I express myself freely and openly in ways that can be understood by someone other than a seventeen year old girl on molly, thanks.

Like I said, anyone can put on gloves and wave their hands around, and that's the vast majority of people who try to do anything with light shows. After two years of bringing lights in to my dance routines I'm just now getting the hang of proper movements and transitions, this goes for hooping too, (so there's two marks against me I suppose,) but just like anything in life you have to practice, practice, practice, and with that does come the foolish looking hand exercises you may be seeing kids do on buses or your campus etc. My main point in all this, avoiding generalizations will help us all look less ignorant of things we're not familiar with.

Unfortunately my light suit is out of commission for the time being, car and camera comes before lights unfortunately. Hopefully by next Sas the full reality can come to fruition.

I already 'locked horns', as it were, with dontoro. YEARS ago. In fact, other than Know he was probably first. Acid-soaked capture the flag and so forth.
I've met the dude, I know he's on the level.

I am just tickled pink by the aptness of the 'locked horns' metaphor.

Acid soaked flag was my brilliant idea, just so we don't forget

Are you sure?
What thread was that, anyway? God that was a long time ago.
