I went to my first ever music festival over the summer this year. It was the first festival that this group had ever organised. It was underprepared due to not having an emergency second option when the food trucks pulled out at the last minute, it was held in a paddock in the wilderness almost an hour from the nearest town, the stage was partially assembled from stolen power poles, no-one made it clear enough in the advertising that this wasn't an event for kids, and during the event one guy wandered off, fell off a cliff and broke both arms.

The bands rocked, the music was amazing, the scenery was stunning, it was multiple orders of magnitude more competent than Fyre, and it cost sixty bucks to attend.

There's a few other good clips on that car crash video, like the clip at 7:24 where they notice a crashed bus on the other side of the highway and then a little further on they find two people lying on the road in front of them where they'd been catapulted through the bus' windscreen and across the concrete divider

In this case the woman sounds like an entitled rear end in a top hat, I found another article that says when the airline staff asked her to move down the back of the plane she refused and demanded that they move the cat instead. She sounds like a pain in the rear end.

This article's amazing simply for the final paragraph:

quote:

I cannot explain how or why the bros running this festival ignored every warning sign they were given along the way. The writing was on the wall. I saw it firsthand six weeks ago. They overlooked so many very basic things. And baby, they forgot to make me sign an NDA.

I can only imagine the massive, smug, poo poo-eating smile on the writer's face :allears:

They got played too, and by writing about how inept the organisers were, they're still getting played. The extent to which people will keep saying 'gosh, the actions of these folk were wholly inexplicable, who could be that inept, and aren't they worried about being sued?' when faced with a band of obvious conmen never ceases to amaze. Every dollar those guys took is now in bitcoin, but it will be very useful if people keep painting them as fools who were in over their heads.

I sincerely doubt this man gives a toss what people think of him:

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/fyre-fest-head-billy-mcfarland-we-were-a-little-naive-w479502

Some of the people cash dispensers he robbed are no doubt incredibly wealthy, but it sounds as if many of them were offered amazing early deals, via his lovely ticketing club, of 'only' $1000 - $1500 to sit in a sandflea pit next to a shark-infested ocean, then bombarded with emails and twitter updates about How Much Goddamn Money the average partygoer had, so that they topped up their barcode wristband with plenty of real cash (suggested pre-load $3000 per weekend). Of course, anything they didn't spend would be refunded after the event. Of course.

Now he's doing the 'gosh we were naive' thing, and 'refunds are being processed'. His mugs also get the offer of a much much better festival in 2018. I'm wondering how long he can keep the plates spinning.

It's kind of fascinating to watch someone apologise when you know he feels no responsibility whatsoever.
