One of my favourite Wookieepedia things is that the entry for Bothans in the EU is seven thousand words long with detailed history, biology, role as spies in the galactic political scene, etc.
and then you click over to the Star Wars "canon" entry and it's about a hundred words long and basically boils down to "many Bothans died to bring the Rebel Alliance information on the Death Star."
“There was no infrastructure to even support the equipment. They didn’t even have a loading dock, they had no understanding of what vehicles were on the island to even move the stuff off the ship once it got there,” said the supplier. “They said stuff like, ‘Don’t worry about customs; it’s only for a weekend, you don’t have to worry about customs.”
It turns out customs was something Billy McFarland, Fyre Festival’s 25-year-old founder, should have worried about. On Saturday, Bahamian officials shut down the ill-fated site. “Customs has the area on lockdown because Billy has not paid Customs duty taxes on the items that he imported,” the Bahamian Ministry of Tourism said in a statement obtained by ABC.

hahahah they tried to "just the tip" international business.
Fyre Festival employees said planning for the event took on the feel of an extended Spring Break frat party. McFarland and members of his team would fly down “every other weekend for lavish vacations” on nearby islands, but only male employees and models were allowed to go. “Billy would take all the boys down there, it would be boys only,” the employee said. “They talk about f—ing bitches and hoes in conference meetings.”

I had just decided to leave the Brooklyn-based real estate company Forest City Ratner, my first employer and professional home of the previous twelve months, to take the leap and join our family business. I had always intended to work at another firm for a while, to gather experience from a different perspective, and then to join my father and brother at The Trump Organization. But as the day approached, my mind swam with questions prompted by the unknown.
Take the leap, even with the trepidations of the unknown because you're about to start working for your dad. Ah, to be a woman who works.
Fyre Festival is the textbook example of "I'm rich! I can imagine this into being!"
I can't wait for the tell-all book and Big Short style diagesis-blending movie to come out
No facilities, no accommodations, no lights. My money is on organized criminals quietly sabotaging preparations. The right palms weren't greased.
That is a nice looking tent, though. Not a $3000 tent, of course, but a nice tent.
Nah. They planned the event for the same weekend as the Regatta, biggest annual event in the area. The organizers of the Fyre Festival actually inquired as to whether the Regatta could be rescheduled.

Yes I want Ryan Gosling talking to me directly and explaining why this is terrible.
Not necessarily on the screen, he can come round to my house and just talk to me about it. I'll listen.
My best friend organizes events for One and watching her facial expressions as she found out about Fyre Festival is a joy I'll hold dear for all my days.

It's really fucking incredible how bad a job they did.
Ha, the pitch video hasn't been taken down? I suppose damage control professionals are telling the bigwigs to not destroy or remove anything until the lawsuits end.

I don't understand how they didn't see this coming. Like, they got millions in funding and immediately started spending it on themselves without being remotely interested in what anything would cost or what was likely to happen if they didn't deliver. Its amazing.

NRK's live broadcast of the moving of the reindeer herds got cut off because of the cold. But not before one of the reindeer herders sent a message to his wife Rávdná through the broadcast.

It's the same kind of shit that happens when someone forgets they have to pay taxes on the money they make from their business. Happens all the goddamn time.

presidential material there
Misspelling 'fire' in the title was the first clue careful attention wasn't being paid to this music festival.
It’s not a very important country most of the time

I hear she recommends hiring headhunters when you're out of a job. As in multiple ones.
that seems like an unneccessarily complicated explanation when "none of these people are organizers" will more than suffice

it's win-win because I want everybody to lose
Rich people getting screwed is my drug of choice.
Lawyers win tho
That tell-all book would be three pages long.
I hold no ill will towards lawyers

They're surplus disaster relief tents. 8->
The other day I read an article by an organizer that quit within a few days.
It ends with "Also, they never made me sign an NDA!"

the model, or the modelling agency
does that change between being anonymous instagram starlet vs an A-lister
surely there's a great deal of lottery-like compensation in this industry
(then a dress with more than three square inches of cloth in it)
which is perhaps why ratjowkowski's ad abided by fcc regs whilst the minor influencer ads didn't
there may be a certain level of knowing your shit involved in making it big
