Sorry, I just wanted to change valves. Didn't realize I was into taboo areas.
Ok slight thread jack.
Last year we had the band OK GO and they had a large confetti cannon. They angled it so some of it went into the house. The majority of it nailed the first electric (had to fly it in and take apart every light post show) flew up into the catwalks. Some how it got up behind the plaster FOH, I really don't know how. The stuff got every where and we are still finding pieces. I thought it was in the rental contract that they could not use confetti, but it may of not been. I know it is now.
Ah, but it will! Many's the time I've found confetti stuck to the bottom of my shoes when I take them off at home at night....I will take confetti any day as it will not cling to me and follow me home.
this one burlesque performer had a dozen eggs. which she cracked open over her pouring glitter all over her self.

my jaw dropped with, "why on earth would you do that?"...
We had a group of Japanese Women who do performance art who came out semi naked in weird chicken outfits. They proceded to "squat" over electric griddles then pancake batter came from somewhere as if they were ... um... squriting it from themselves. Then they cook the pancakes and ate them.
God I love this business !!!!
DO NOT EVER REUSE CONFETTI, there are serious health and saftey risks involved. You never know what dust and other things get swept up off the floor with the confetti.
