FYRE: The Greatest Party That Never Happened Documentary
Just finished watching this on Netflix. It is fascinating, yet I feel dirty watching how Billy MacFarland ****ed over so many people.

If you enjoy documentaries, watch it now.

Yeah dodged a bullet there.
Yikes. That’s a little close to home.

They reengaged us 45 days before it was supposed to get going. I said No again after two meetings.

They had nothing:
-No WAPS
-No IPS Vendor
-No Contracts

Once I got done with them on the phone I told them good luck. I knew this thing was a cluster **** waiting to happen.

I watched the Hulu doc on this during a flight. It was very good, and showed a different perspective of the whole thing.

Watch both. It’s worth it.

Then I went to college and got exposed to hucksters and bullshitters and the like and really developed a decent eye for bullshit. And the longer I went the more astounded I was by the number of people getting through life without really ever being held accountable for performance. And this I suppose is just an extension of that astonishment journey I’ve been on since I was 19. Even though this idiot did it through straight up, not even creative fraud.
It is amazing once you are out in the real world how many professionals either don't give a damn or are incompetent.

The story from one of the workers was that he got off the phone after securing more funding hi-fives him and says “let’s go ride jet ski’s”.

Now on the flipside, there's some very very real risk involved there. What if by some unbelievable miracle MacFarland had been able to come across one last investor who chucked $5 million into the thing and allowed a hail mary contractor play and somehow pulled the thing to a disappointing show, but not actionable misconduct?

No our 'principled' Yoga teacher, who said '**** this, I'm out', is probably gonna be on the hook for hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages for breach of contract.

I mean if you're gonna walk away from something like that, you'd better by God believe you're right. Your best bet in that case would just be loud enough and pissy enough to get yourself canned.

I did feel bad for the Fyre employees who worked on the app development teams, though. I mean what the hell? For those guys, Fyre was the app. That was the whole company. And the party was just a marketing push. They had know way to realize that this failed marketing push would end up blowing apart the whole company. They got proper rogered.

And credit to anybody on any conference call with JaRule for not telling that bumble**** to sit down and shut up. The amount of self-restraint that must have taken is truly extraordinary.
Where is Ja? Help me Jarule!

Conventions and other events like that are ALWAYS a bitch. The customer doesn't want to commit to the install because they don't intend on keeping it. Last mile providers are slow as shit to actually put anything in. It's just a shit storm of non-cooperation. We simply don't do them anymore - not worth it at all.

Looks like he needs to find another venue.

In response, Aviation Chester Cooper, Bahamas Minister of Tourism, said that the country “will not endorse or approve any event in The Bahamas associated with [McFarland]” and that “he is considered to be a fugitive.”
