This is a problem I happen to see every year. Fanime staff just pops open a box and let people take all the glowsticks they want with some people getting 3-4. Then other people come along and don't have any. If you guys are running out of free glow sticks, you should encourage more people to sell glow sticks by the rave or during the rave hours. Also have the glow sticks be monitored...no more then 2 FREE glow sticks per person please!!
My friend always does that every year. Look for him, he's usually wearing a large furry striped wide brimmed hat.
Can't miss him.
Well that's cool...but I STILL think there should be limits so 1 person doesn't get 5+ free glowsticks meant for EVERYBODY
True. I remember someone throwing about 30 glow sticks at me last year. Who knows how they got that many.
Yeah I think it gives people who show up super early or whatever an unfair advantage...
and? show up early, i like the fact that people give out them.... specially cuz u don't have to pay -_____- they're doing us a favor
I never said give them out....but there should be 1 per person...NOT like 5-10 per person!!!

*tears stream down her face*
i miss him so much T_T
Meh. For that I can go buy glowyness from the awesome that is Lucky-sama. :twisted:
i like the glow necklaces -^^-
i hope Ace brings those
Yeah good suggestion, but hey, do remember it's not really Fanime giving out the glow sticks. A lot of random big hearted people are giving them out.
yeah true and not to mention that people like to decora themselfs in glowstickies hahaha its cuute really I dont get a glowstick and I dont mind but just have some FUN
bring your own if you must
unless you plan to string stick a light show then woot for you
question:
out of all the people who have glosticks
how many actually dance with them?
Im learning lol but if I do Im afraid of hitting people xD

Hey, what's up. To be honest with you, these glowsticks were not given out by the Fanime staff, they were promotional items from my company, Akimbo Systems, as a way to promote our contest for a $250 Best Buy Gift Card. They were not sold, and were given out on a first-come, first-serve basis. I regret that we could not give a glowstick to everyone, but we only had 500 and we tried our danged hardest to make sure everyone got one. I personally walked through the dance 5+ times to find people who didn't have them.
If some people got two, it's not really something we could have controlled, as people could have easily just put them in their pockets and asked us for another, and I am sure they did.
Frankly, we were surprised they were such a hit; we went through the 500 in about 45 min! Maybe we should sell them next year?
Anyway, hope you feel better! :D
I tried to sell them this year in front of the rave, but they told me I couldn't ._.
Next year I plan to get a permit to sell them though and supply my fellow dancers with glowy goodness.
My friend asked a girl where the glow sticks came from, she was nice enough to go ALL the way back to her room to give us some extras [I believe they brought them] and by the time I received my fair share, a battle circle started. It was really disappointing because I can't break dance. ;[
I wish i brought more glowsticks to light up the rave a little. I only brought enough for me, my friends, and a few strangers.
are we even ALLOWED to SELL glow sticks? ;D cuz if i can i will !! i wanted more glow sticks at Music Fest cuz it was really dark in there. :D
Seems like they're popular, so I'll see if we can't sell them through fanime for cheap. Like $1 for 2 sticks or something. Would that be good?

seriously, that is indeed a good plan. that would mitigate the amount of people who ask to borrow my glowsticks ::). Maybe have Fanime's logo screened on the glow sticks would be cool too and even have them added to those baggies that get handed out when we pick up our badges....sorry run-on sentence. Im excited. ;D
Yeah i never get any so This year i am getting my own, Place like longs drugs right now has them on sale form halloween! right now my store sells them for 1$ and next week will be .75c! Dont only rely on fanime ^_-
...im plenty stocked up for fanime's tiny rave/dance. but i will defintely bring extras for those poor otakus that cant afford glowsticks. :D
I am totally bringing some handmade glow poi and dancing glow rod.
I'm planning on buying lots of glow sticks too. Those thinks are so addictive!
Pfft, who needs Glow Sticks when you have a LIGHTSABER!!! Yeah if you were there would of seen me and my Obi-Wan Kenobi FX Lightsaber no problem! "Uh-Huh"
hmmm..if it was saturday night then yes, I do remember that. o.0
i want blue laser sword =(
Lightsaber Light...saber "Uh-huh"
if anyone is interested maybe I can try and get a Fiber optic hair strand. Not sure if people like them!!!
http://www.luminence.com/ (i think they are called Glowbys hair lights )
uhm...that would be cool. it'll make the dance livelier. however, are you bringing it for yourself, or getting them from other people too? o.0 kinda confused.
yay...fanime is coming sooooooon!
well i have to charge them..but Im not selling them.. I will either choose to sell them at fanime con since im modifying them
HAlf of them has dead batteries, broken fiber cables, (has an ugly bulb color besides red and orange..needs white and BLue and stuff (found them at daiso just a heads up, and they are running out quick) and im adding new bulbs that i once had back then...
I was planning to sell them at the art dealers room....since im going to add more than just a simple cheap effect (DOING Alot of hefty repairs but hey 1.50 of the acutaly price is'nt so bad...was hoping to sell them for 2.00 bucks. Either that or I will give them to my sister..*shes going to be incharge of my swap meet items I wanna sell.......
still
I will try and get as much as I can, but if your going to ask for the price, i don't know....But i can say its going to be (Much much) more cheaper than 4 dollars!!! (but above actual price slightly!!!)
also I only have 2 right now and planning to get some more ^_o!!!!
sweet...so you are going to buy in bulk o.0?

Thats a great idea [:
yeah XD....but i need to change the bulbs....i mean..some came with standard straight colors but I need to change the bulb and make it more interesting XD!!!
To tired to read each and every post, but places like The Dollar Tree sells them in 2 packs for a buck, and the necklaces/braclets, like 3 each for a buck.
Maybe I should just buy $20 bucks worth and see who wants some.
No better way to make friends then giving things away.
Tried that at another con, but people just like to grab and dash *Laughs*

Eh? *Chuckles* Hmmm 50 or so random glow bracelets, necklaces and sticks to hand out....Why not, I bet I might get a few 'thank yous"
Someone should cosplay as the RE 4 merchant and sell rave glow herbs i mean sticks
I'll definately be bringing a lot of my lights and such, so if you see me ask me for a lightshow. :D
as for the glow sticks throwing..i really suggest to add a badge number and mark them just to be on the precaution side!.....its a sad moment to see fanime lost control on this...
however if this continues up...then Fanime may have to banned all glowsticks....AND maybe prop items as well!!!!!
not saying as a bad thing but i am just fearing thats all!!! they can sell it yes but after hearin some of my friends getting hurt by someone throwing a glowstick just for fun!!! that kinda ruins the moment!!!!!....
Still waiting for those DAMN light bulbs from ebay -_-!!!!!!!
