Paper cup snake

[puppetmode]

Don't know why I even thought of this at such a late stage.

Last year I saw a snake of paper cups being carried by a group of lads. It looked quite impressive, a good 20 feet long at the time, so well done for the time and effort starting it off!

Just thought what a great idea it would be to start snakes at each stage/tent/area and see how long we can get them all. With the added bonus of it then being easy to cart off as rubbish at the end of the day/festival.

Must be better than the over full bins and acres of squashed cups littering the fields.

And the added bonus of just starting your own and encouraging around you to add to it when they finish drinking means it doesn't have to be organised. Maybe even link up different areas and dare I say it have the whole site linked by one HUGE snake

How do you do it? Don't they just fall apart?

[glasto_mongrel_2008]

Fantastic idea, ive not seen this before, do you attach them with string or just slot them into each other?

[Monorail]

Great idea. I seem to remember a picture of a massive willy made out of a paper cup snake. Maybe someone will post it...

they just slot into each other. To be fair, last year they had bins that had a space just big enough for one cup and then the others slotted on top of it, like a roll of plastic water cups, but there wasnt many.

Yeah, just slot them into each other and encourage everyone around to join in the snake and lets see the size they can get to.

I'd follow one and add to it. I always use the bins but doesn't feel right just dropping it on the floor when the bins are overflowing

I think a paper cup Arc will be more suitable this year I too remember seeing a big paper cup snake near the pyramid, good effort.

There were some guys walking through Avalon last year with a snake of cups that must have been at least 40 feet long. There were about 7 or 8 of them carrying it! I was impressed and as previously mentioned, it's a good way of collecting a lot of rubbish!

[Bluearsedfly]

Classic effort that, we usually end up starting our late night fires with ours though

[matt2007]

If we could make one go all around the site we could build a paper cup monorail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would be the DOGS!

the Brothers facebook page has some examples of this

Brothers Facebook photos - glastonbury thursday

they have images of the long stack, the limbo and the circle, I remember a huge comedy cock but this does not seem to have been published

[GingerRock]

yeah i saw the massive brothers snake. was huge.

[puppetmode]

I think that must be a challenge then, to get the worlds biggest Cup Snake. We could call it the Monorail and bring life to a myth.

And they said Cup Cakes were in fashion!

There we go. Great effort.

There is was trying to think up a /index.php?showtopic=163190&st=0&p=3628115&#entry3628115">game to "play" at this year festival. Didn't even think of this.

Brilliant idea. We should try and start one on Wednesday at the E-Festival meet and see how long it can last for. It could be f**kING huge by Sunday.

have a giant piece of string to join the ends up between all the stages and we cann leave our mobile phones at home

Very popular among cricket fans, mainly cos they are sat for 10 hours bored and waiting for the rain to stop
