I like a show once in a while, but just a quick one, but otherwise I don't want them flying around my head.................

Originally posted by house_conXion I am a big fan of glowsticks as I give lightshows all the time, I don't mean to brag or anything but I kick ass with those things. I usually use 4 glowsticks and attach 2 in each hand with a keyring. Then I spin them around like nunchucks and I gotta say I don't think I've given one lightshow to anyone who wasn't amazed at what I can do. A pretty cool thing about it too is that I get recognized for it all the time, I always have people come up to me who always remember me and as usual I have no friggin clue who they are but they remember me for the lightshow I gave them. I've also formed some "real" friendships from giving lightshows too and that's rare.

Hear hear!
Khoa's light shows are wicked!!!
definitely among the best out there

Yeah I won't deny that you can find me in the Acid Lounge sometimes but like previously stated nothing trips me out more than watching myself

Man i'll admit, i've given and recieved quite a few lightshows in my day. Hell, there were times i'd go and ask someone who was good to hit me with a quick show. It's trippy when you're buzzed and if you appreciate the skills involved at giving a good light show you won't really mind it. It's the people who suck at light shows and come waving a bright lime green stick in my face, intent on giving me a crappy light show that piss me off. I suspect the same is true for most people who hate lightshows.

It's been years since I cracked a stick, but i always make it a point to check out what people can do cause i've seen some incredibly creative stuff -- and lets be honest, if you're at a club and someone has a skill which enhances the experience. Why not check it out. It's the same as watching some hot girl dancing to the beat. It all Adds to the visual experience.

But yea, glowsticking for TRANCE only please !

Don't crack that shit at da HOUSE, JUNGLE, BREAKS bashes -- you'll get some cold stares ! Glowsticking comes from rave culture. If they have to be used someplace -- then let that be in the realm of trance. Quite honestly, liquiding to trance with a glowstick for me is the only way i can dance. Those other genre's have their own dance, and it doesn't involve bright objects.

Hmmm, maybe that's why i haven't listen to Trance in years...my liquiding sucks !!!!

PS. Giving good light shows is a great icebreaker when it comes to meeting new people in clubs. At least it was for me...

Funny story...

Last week at Lawler, a friend of mine had glowticks, and hes dancing or whatever, im standing beside him, and this chick comes upto him, and asks, can i see those? He enthusiastically replies, "Yah, sure!". She takes them, and throws them across the room almost hitting a bouncer. Looks at my friend, and says "I HATE GLOWSTICKS" and walks away. The expression on my friends face was priceless.

As for glowsticks and lightshows, been there done that. It can be fun on occasion but it shouldnt be something that should occupy your whole night. The purpose of glowsticks and lightshows is to accentuate your high thus focusing your night more on the drugs and the high than anything else. Personally i like to balance my nights out and not be stuck in a repetative motion, twirling lights around and trippin myself out.

I dont like them myself but whatever floats your boat and someone who is good can make it look cool..

however the ones on the strings...those people need to be decked.

the place is rammed enough already, I dont need to loose an eye cause you are trying to look cool.
