    “Unfortunately last minute we were let down in many areas of our event and tried our best to continue on and push through and now realise we probably should have cancelled first thing this morning instead.”

    What kinda fyre fest excuse is this? Slugworth came round and stole all the good decorations in the night.

      Like how did they not on Friday be like “yeah this is trash.”

      Like I’ve seen school dances who just had volunteers and construction paper come together 100 times better.

              Right? SURELY two days before they could have seen no decorations were coming together, they had no candy, and nothing was looking nice, they could have sent out a “We are sad to announce due to an issue with our main vendors, we have to cancel as we can’t provide an experience we are happy with. Refunds are being processed, we hope to provide a better experience at a later date, and hope this has not caused too many problems for you.”, that wouldn’t have even made the news and they could have ran another one in six months if they really ewanted.

              Like did they think it’d magically not be trash when people showed up? Just crazy that they even bothered opening the doors with so little set up.

                An arcade in a strip mall is more inviting.

                And yes, I completely agree with what you said! It would have been so easy to save face.
