You should be able to find a distributor in your yellow pages. You'll probably need to cut down a stock 25' tube. It'll help you to know diameter, wall thickness, alloy, and temper - but if you don't have a good idea what you're after, the distributor should be able to provide advice.
I order aluminum stock from TW Metals in KC, which probably isn't useful info for your location.

Look for a nonferrous metals distributor.
What alloy, OD, ID and or wall thickness?
Do you need a contiguous piece or can you sleeve two (2), 8 ft lengths together?

Durett-Sheppard in the Highlandtown/Dundalk area of Baltimore would be a good start. 410 633 6800. If they don't have it they can likely tell you who does.
You don;t say what diameter or wall thickness you want, but if you consider steel, than think about EMT or pipe. Both are available in 20 ft lengths from their respective suppliers.
Try some tent or outdoor display suppliers in your area.
Wow, Festivus is here already??

thanks for the replies. What I'm looking for can be in two pieces about 2 inches in diameter and lightweight(thin walled) like a lighting fixture.

Not having specifics on the diameter you might look into:

2 pcs, either 1-/2" or 2" alum conduit and a coupling.Any decent electrical distributor.
