Hate to say this but as a curmudgeon, and a jaded Generation Xer I luved how all these spoiled, and attention craving Millenials got hosed.

One of the most hilarious fails of that year.

I just read about the festival yesterday and had a good laugh. As a lifelong backcountry hiker/camper, I would have been fine, but I can only imagine how the rich, elite, celebrity, hollywood 1%-er’s triggered over less than luxury accommodations.

The same geniuses who planned the Obamacare rollout?

For epic party disasters (non-political) watch Peter Sellers in “The Party.”

There is a movie about it on Netflix. haven’t watched it yet.

The only thing better than watching the Fyre Festival documentary on Netflix was realizing that some leftist millennials spend good money to sleep on a wet mattress. Liberalism always starts at an END result never bothering to put the STARTING pieces in place. I mean they had no idea how many crappers were needed!

From the article:

The ultimate appeal of the Fyre Festival disaster was that its main organizers were mostly in their 20s. It confirmed the popular media trope that Millennials ruin everything, including themselves and everyone foolish enough to believe in them. It also supposedly exposed them as having exceptional credulity when being sold a bill of goods.

What does this statement remind me of?

Gen-Xer? Yer too young to be a curmudgeon, kid.

You might be a contrarian. Most contrarians grow into grizzed curmudgeons with age ;-)

I work at an organization where a couple of years ago, one of the higher-ups arranged for a visitor to come and speak. He notified the speaker of the schedule which included a reception after the event. He also included mention of the reception on the invitations.

After the talk, the speaker and all the guests went to the area where the reception was to take place. There was no food, no tables, no drinks.

The organizer had failed to notify our event manager of the reception. I assume he thought the reception area set up, the food, the drinks, clean up afterwards, etc would all happen by magic.

We had to send out a memo to all employees informing them they had to notify several different departments when they wanted to hold an event which required a caterer and such.
