Those disaster post-mortems are a fun read. Thanks for linking to it.

After reading that account of the meeting with the guy who said they would just pull it off and "be legends," I realized this whole thing was eerily similar to this scene from The Simpsons. Must have been a bunch of millennials.

When I first saw this, I thought it was a festival for people who like to wear boots of a certain 70's vintage...then I noticed the spelling was wrong...then I was totally confused.

On the plus side, no one got eaten by a shark as far as we know.

The Wiki page for the Fyre Festival included, under "See also", "Altamont free Concert" and "Woodstock '99". 'Nuf said.

I like the use of "And baby..." for the summation. Nice segue from an ordinary list of disasters to the punchline.
