Originally posted by Kytracid Actually i support to idea of not having glowsticks in clubs that spin house. Traditionally house is played in that warehouse type environment, low cielings, not that much light -- it all adds to the sensual nature of house music. Lights ruin that ambiance.

I agree 110%

As for any other place with glowsticks...meh, if that's what you're into. As for light shows though, I tend to dabble in the art of recreational drugs from time to time, and NOT ONCE have light shows interested me or done anything remotely cool for me. But hey...


Anyone that brings a whistle to a club can just straight up die! lol

i can't be arsed to read this whole thread...but they should be abolished.

fucking stupidest things ever.

ew.

the amount of times i've been hit by them, and feared for my eyes cos some idiot is flailing around is ridiculous. some guy actually hit my friend in the eye with one. and if i trip over any more losers who are sitting down on the FLOOR OF A CLUB getting a light show, i will kick them.

yes, i'm evil and i don't care.

Before abolishing glowsticks, i want to see the following gone

1) Whistles

2) Air Horns

3) Shirtless Monkeys

If those three are eradicated, i won't mind losing glowsticks either. To all those who trip and fall over people who are sitting on the floor i have one question -- 1) How high are you ? I mean, it's not that difficult to spot someone sprawled on the floor - I'm 6'5, and i can see that far down so i'm not sure how you can manage to fall over someone. Seems like people lack motor skills and then blame someone else (i guess when you're high you'll always find someone else to blame

Kicking them isn't a bad idea either...they're probably high as well, so a swift kick might go unnoticed. It is evil, but meh...you're probably the type of person who elbows and pushes people anyway so what difference does it makes if you kick someone who's already down ?

LOL - I know i'm defending glowsticks a little too strongly even though i don't play with them, but i just don't see them as the biggest problem in a club. They aren't even as bright as some of the one's i've seen before which are these industrial strenght lights which you can spot 100 yards away. People who hate lights in general don't know how to bust a move anyway. I'd rather look at someone who has skills them some dumbass doing the left-right stomp with a little hip shake all night long.

ahhhhh! u posted!

We should mobilize the anti-whistle squad. Who wants to bet that fool in the big red wig will show up tonight with his whistle?

btw, love to dance with glowsticks but I'm not too good at giving shows. For those of you that don't know, Cdn Tire has glowsticks.. $5 a pair.

Heh whistles! RESPECT for teh DJ yo!

For those who hate whistles and glow stix, stay the hell away from a Hulla rave... Not that there are many left...

someone should gather up all of the glowsticks in the world and fire them into outer space.....and to have little punks come up to me and ask me if i want a "light show"......are you kidding me?..."YEAH..that would be great!!!!heres a show for ya...i'll shove em up your ass, your ears and nose, and whip you around the club"....thank god for Boa....

^^ If you like Boa then you prolly like prog & house more than trance. Anyone with glowsticks at a non-trance event deserves an ass-kikin.

Hey, you go to a rave -- you should expect the glowsticks, lights, furry toys, whistles, airhorns, candykids. That's rave culture for ya. It's when rave culture bleeds into club culture that people start getting irritated.

Originally posted by oldschool420 true that ,i love using glowsticks, i used to use them all the time in montreal, but here i get dirty ass looks sometimes, like i've killed a baby or something lol lighten up a little, obviously no one wants it in their face, but if someone is just enjoying themselves, and staying out of your way, don't go out of your way to ruin their fun, thats just rude and shallow.

True that...i've had someone get out of thier way to walk across the room(acid lounge in the guv)asked for my sticks and threw them in the garbage because she was feeling sick seeing it...so i was like "why dont you go and chill somewhere else like outside if your feeling sick" then my gf was like "and on your way out i'm gonna go with you so you can replace the ones you threw out" So I ended up getting brand spanking bright new glow sticks [IMG]http://[/IMG]

i almost lost an eye due to an inexperienced gino waving them around at guv.

I'm one of the idiots who gets fucked up, buys a couple, waves them madly around for a bit and then forgets them in his pocket.

Eventually I'll learn.

I remember at last year's Labour of Love, this guy comes up to me and offers me the "best lightshow you've ever seen". As annoying as the glowsticks are, I have patience.

I politely decline, then the guy asks me to hold them while he ties his shoes. I guess he felt that I would change my mind in the time that he tied hie shoes, because once he got up he asked me again.

Annoyed by this point, I handed him his glowsticks and told him to go away.

Case in point: I find glowsticks and their users to be annoying.

An honorable mention goes to those annoying whistle blowers.

I like them.



whistlers, on the other hand, should be shot on sight.

I don't mind them....if people have fun using them, that's cool.

By why do some people feel the need to persist, when I say I'm not interested??? I've had guys start waving them in my face, even after I've said 'no thanks'!!

That's why people don't like glowsticker's.....the pushy ones give the rest a bad rap!!!

don't like glow sticks, but hate facking whistles even more!

Just watched Star Wars Episode 3 last night and I realized why I love glow sticks so much:

LIGHT SABRES

Yes young paduan. I am your father.....lol

I don't mind glowsticks. I think they add to the overall experience of a place like Guv. Being asked if I want a lightshow if I stop moving for all of 3 seconds though..that tends to get a little irritating.

Besides, I'd pick glowsticks ANYDAY over those shirtless, sweaty, nipple-pierced, head-bobbers that prowl around the bars at Guv. There needs to be some restrictions on that. Seriously that place gets so packed and if you happen to be 'lucky' enough to walk by one of those creatures it's sooooooooooooooo nasty. KEEP YOUR SHIRT ON! NO ONE WANTS TO SEE THAT SH*T!

BTW...lmfao that they have a website devoted to this:
