fyre festival is going well

there are so many shitty edm artists i've never heard of

surely it's only a question of time before they send Martin Sheen in there to kill Ja Rule

I have been looking up artists I am not that familiar with and I may have found a sentence on wikipedia that truly mystifies me
"Free Fallin Tropical Mojito Remix (John Mayer Tribute)" was produced with fellow tropical house producer Nelsaan and was released on Matoma's 23rd birthday

that's some Deep Margaritaville shit

just started giggling at work at that thought

what in the

"I bet Eli Roth's fingers are a blur on the keyboard already"

would totally pay to see OTT battle royale/most dangerous game movie starring ja rule and a pack of feral dogs chasing a thousand rich twits through the jungle.

lmao

I am nothing if not predictable.

the pack of feral dogs is just the coup de grace here

lol nomar

um, previous nomar

they promised us feral dogs, but it was just big rats

you finished eating that rat?

I think that salad was toppings for the cheese sandwich. that's why there's no dressing. everybody come back.

Well you can't say this McFarland guy has a hard to reach website

Cristina Gibson, from Bravo’s Montauk-based reality show Summer House, was one of the lucky ones. She was stranded in Miami, not marooned in the Bahamas.

A friend of Gibson's, like many others, booked a spot when the festival was announced in December. “I've been to festivals before,” she reasoned, phoning from South Beach. “I’ve gone to Coachella for years; I’ve gone to Governor’s Ball here in New York. So it’s not like I’m completely naive and had no idea. We checked out the Web site and thought, ‘Oh, this seems spontaneous. This looks fun. The video looks great.’ ”

..."spontaneous"

HE SPEAKS

if someone says something is "NOT A SCAM" in all caps, it's a scam

9/11 TRUTH IS NOT A SCAM

This is such a gift & has been just the lift I needed

They should have held it in the bwahahahamas,
Am
I
Right

Movie of this could be like Paul Greengrass doing Spring Breakers.

I'm drooling for the droll 5,000 word New Yorker piece on this mess.

"I don't know how everything went so left but I'm working to make it right" is giving me experiential benefits rn

I can say I was intrigued and reached out for RS in January. I asked what the capacity of the festival was and a publicist replied that it was 10,000(!) which is like 6,500 more than an ATP. I asked if I could get an interview with Ja Rule about it – he hadn't done any, I don't know if he ever did – and they said they didn't know who would be doing interviews and would circle back. They never circled back.

I did think it was weird that they were launching this very bespoke music festival and didn't want to talk to Rolling Stone about it.

That was the last I thought about it, so we didn't send anyone.

aw, man, would have totally read a fear and loathing with the feral dogs from whiney...oh well.

xpost Interesting. Do you remember how you heard about it? Was it the IG bombing?

just think of the photo ops with the dogs!!

The article about the dude's card/concierge service shows his business model is at least consistent
