    'Luxury' Fyre Festival is cancelled

    Why did I laugh at the idea of these kids paying $4000-12000 for this

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Read about this yesterday. I don't revel in the misery of people I've never met and people who do so are assholes themselves. Of course there is some irony involved but I've been stuck in shitty situations before that have been no fault of my own and it's not really fun.

    That being said I'd die to see a documentary made about this. How can a festival get away with being so ineptly planned? Do they not realize that catering to the needs of thousands of people takes some real logistics? Where do they shit? Eat? sleep?

    Sounds like an utter balls up and it would have been a properly rubbish experience to endure ... that said, "It ended up being the closest thing to war I've ever seen." ... erm, what?

    From what I understand one of the organisers has done this sort of "scam" before!?
