There were so many tricks you could pull with all the lights on the ends of your fingers, or all the crazy transfers with the single lights. |

(having great skills at it helps too, lol)
I've actually hung mine up for the time being.
After having my LEDs stolen by some chick in montreal [I lent them to her to try to find her stuff in the speaker stack and she walked off] I haven't replaced them. Plus, Boa frowns upon them. But I do miss using them, and have been teetering on the edge of reinvesting the money for a decent pair.
But if I don't buy a new pair, I'd recommend seeing kabelicious. I had the pelasure of meeting her on my b-day last month, and she was voted 'detroit's best', and although it was at boa, and I couldn't see her with glowsticks, the movements she's got are really really crazy. Her style is very organic and syymetrical, I guess you can say, makes he look double jointed at every turn, whereas mine is more of a 'swarm' where single lights act 'out of phase' doing the same or similar patterns. Her style makes you say 'what the fuck', where mine will leave you crosseyed.

Cam really fired it up a notch with his glowballs at US7 and I hope to get a visit from Sly_Guy or house_conxion, too!!! |

keep just using the sticks to start with fayraree.
going for too much too early isn't a good thing. Not to mention, a lot of those 'trippy' moves that a lot of people do are really easy, and short lived, so you can pull those but if your patterns aren't up to snuff, it won't look good overall.

| Originally posted by fayraree I don't know how to use them but I'd love to learn...but I prefer using sticks because I get a treat out of them when I use them, too (I'm so selfish!) with LED and glowballs I can't picture myself getting tripped out... |

Ok i'm going to try to explain this to the best of my ability....
Glow sticks don't do JACK for me, to be honest I think they're way too over rated...however, there are these "maracas" style lights, they have these blue,red,orange, and white lights flashing and u can adjust them with a tiny button...they are super cool!!!!
I met this spanish dude at Decadence and again at US7 and he's awesome...both times we danced and he had his lights... it's not a "light show" per se, since i was not on E or any other drugs and was not just sitting to watch like some POSERS do. It's almost like he moves his lights to the rhythm of the music and I dance to his lights...does that make any sense?
Its really cool if u can understand what I'm trying to explain...I love to dance and I always look for ppl that can follow my style and he certainly did along with his lights so its just amazing to see these two ppl going nuts!!! and Im soo not bragging but at Decadence around 6am when Armin was going strong ppl were literally stopping by us to watch us dance like that..that was my two cents about light shows!..

yep, those are the glowballs.
I've only met one person who was actually good with them, and I believe it might have been the same guy at the guv you're talking about. Labour of love 2003, near the end of sasha's set, I ran into the guy anbd watched him for a bit. I broke out my LEDs, and he was equally impressed. So we get going and like 2 mins later some black guy comes up to us using 4 glowsticks and he had some serious skill. None of us knew each other, but we formed a circle towards the back and went at it for a good hour and a half. By the end we were surrounded by cracked out people each trying to stop us for lightshows, but we were all just doing too well on our own to care.
That is what it's all about. Not going out to impress other people, but to go out and enjoy yourself. Reguardless if you've got something glowing or not.

I saw some guy at Guv using those the night when Infected Mushroom was at KH. Freaking crazy moves, he was just totally in tune with the music.
