Here’s what we know about Fyre Festival II so far: Line-up? Unknown. Date? Unclear. Location? Somewhere in the Caribbean. Price? $500 to $8,000.
“There’s an old saying in Tennessee—I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, ‘Fool me once, shame on…shame on you. Fool me—you can’t get fooled again.’”
Somehow we elected that fool twice and then elected someone so bad it made him look good
The first time, the Conservatives on the Supreme Court stopped the vote counting when it looked like Bush would lose Florida. The legal justification used was “because we want Bush to win”.
The second time was a combination of Swift Boating and the man who oversaw the Ohio part of the election, literally worked for the Bush Campaign. Which turned out like this.
I’ve heard that he didn’t complete the sentence because he didn’t want a record of him saying “shame on me”.
And yet what he DID say got memed WAY harder than “shame on me” ever would have.
“They’d never fuck us a SECOND time”
The first drop of 100 pre-sale tickets for Fyre Festival II went on sale Monday for $499 a pop and sold out within a day, according to the festival’s website.
So 100 people have more money than sense.
Are we even sure those are real sales? They only made 100 tickets available. It’s far more reasonable to assume that they “released 100 tickets” and then had a grifter friend purchase them all immediately. You’d be able to say that you sold out. Then you ride the wave of free publicity that you get from news article like this. Seems like grifting 101.
I’d bet you’re right. Why else would they only release 100 tickets? It’s a laughably small number for a music festival. Most bars hold more people than that.
If I knew then what I know now about the first fire fest, I would have considered trying to get tickets.
I have fairly low standards for a vacation, usually I like to go camping so spartan accomodations, meh food, etc. are pretty much par for the course. I usually do a good bit better for myself than the fyre fest provided, but I could make do just fine with what was available.
But man, I would have loved to watch all the entitled rich assholes melting down in-prson in real-time.
one of the world’s infinitely renewable resources is stupid people
