I had a very interesting experience while at 10klf. It was my first time going and my friend and I decided the week of to buy tickets and make the trek. We are from Maryland so it was a 22 hour drive each way, but it was completely worth it. Before the trip I had bought a few thousand 3d firework glasses and had intended to sell them to pay for the trip, but....I decided during the widespread show on Friday that I was just going to give them out for free that night. I must have given out over 600 pairs of glasses during widespread and wookiefoot and it was possibly the greatest night of my life. If you happened to be one of the lucky ones who got a pair that friday, or happened to get some of the ones on saturday(i may have charged you 2 for $1, sorry) let me know what you thought. I am thinking about buying many many many more and doing that at every festival i go to. The response from someone who puts them on when they don't know what they are is priceless and it makes their night, their weekend, their everything, which makes me happy. 10klf was awesome. Definately going next year.

I might be mistaken.. but Im pretty sure I saw some people fucking around with your glasses at wookiefoot
seems like a pretty cool idea to me... I must admit I was jealous and wanted to at least take a peek at the stage through them but I didnt have the balls to ask the doods I saw with them
The guys I saw had what looked to me to be plastic framed clear lens type 3-D glasses.. is that what you were handing out?

no i was handing out these paper/cardboard american flag ones and straight navy blue. Most of the people that got them were in the left middle of the crowd during Widespread(near where I was standing). I was throwing out packs of 20 to random people who were to far away to reach and having them disperse them. I turned around in the middle of the second set and saw about 100 people with them on behind me....awesome. By the time wookiefoot was on I only had about 150 left so I got more selective/random/don't remember when giving them out. I basically ran around dancing til I saw some people who looked cool and gave them glasses. It was a fun weekend.
I have to go back to school to finish up my degree, but I am thinking about buying a ridiculous amount like 10 to 15k and traveling around next summer to a lot of festivals giving them out in return for charitable contributions for my friend's organization BirthrightEarth. So if you see some crazy guy giving out glasses next summer then come say hi. I hope it pans out so I can do it.
