over ambitious? me? nah...

Having just bought a shamadan on June 30, I have volunteered myself to dance with it on August 2.  Better get video-watching and practicing!  At least I know I've got a bunch of good music already. 

Good fake taper candles are expensive.  Yikes.  These look like about the best deal I can find online for candles that take small watch batteries (AA batteries add a heck of a lot of weight so I want to avoid those).  I need 8 9 total, so four  five pairs, which will put me at around $50 $60 after shipping.  I repeat, yikes.  Anybody know of a local place that might have them, so I could at least save on shipping?  I know the China Fair has good votives, maybe they'd have the tapers.

(the show is outdoors so I suppose I could use real candles, but it's in Salem where it's likely to be breezy and I don't want to get wax on my costume, as would happen with even dripless candles in a good wind.  Plus they'd get blown out.)

ooh actually i wonder what LED's inside a wax (something) would look like, just as a random other craft project not related to this...
