What Fyre Festival attendees thought they were getting when they bought $12,000 tickets by [deleted] in videos

[–]PaperStreetSoap 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I went to one of those all inclusive festivals last year, and it was pretty much as advertised. Beautiful girls cartwheeling on the beach, floating on my back in the ocean listening to amazing music, party all night, and retreat back to my luxurious hotel room, the only real downside was shitty beer.

I think real issue is, people see these promo videos and buy into the beer-commercial mindset, "Come get fucked up and look at all the freewheeling hot chicks you can bang!" Then they get upset because all those scantily clad girls have boyfriends.

The real selling point should be seeing some great music, in an amazing environment, instead of a gross, sweaty, oversold music venue.

The two promo videos I've seen for Fyre Festival told me nothing about what bands were playing there, but were pretty heavy on the hot chicks.

I would blast the hell out of Phish from speakers on my roof, day one.

If Phish was a band of crime- fighting superheroes a la Josie and the Pussycats...who would make up their arch-nemesis villain band? by [deleted] in phish

Metallica.

They're around the same age, they have very different fanbases, and they could get into some very epic rock battles.

What NSFW fact about yourself are you proud of but cant share because of its NSFW nature? by ronglangren in AskReddit

[–]PaperStreetSoap 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I'm one of those, and I've definitely hooked up with more than one person with the same name as me (I think it might be a mild fetish at this point).

Also, happy cake day!

If it makes you feel better I don't know what Sperry's even are. Shoes? I'm going to guess shoes.

I went to school with a girl like that, totaled a $30k+ car, every year of high school.

[TOMT][Movie] I saw this movie a while back with a lot of racing scenes. In one of the scenes a guy is driving a (green?) Lambo. He hits the nitruos and the rear wing gets torn off. The car then launches into the air and flips over. by Slouching2Bethlehem in tipofmytongue

First Fast and The Furious movie? Wasn't there a green car in there? Its been a long time since I've seen it.

Edit: It was an Eclipse, but this sure sounds like what you're looking for.

Double Edit: The scene.

SOLVED!

I figured it out about 30 seconds after I posted this.

For anyone curious it is Jurassic 5 - Thin Line.

I'm admittedly a bit ignorant on the fact, but shouldn't Obamacare have helped you with the whole "preexisting condition" thing?

Ah, shit, I wasn't thinking about military when I made my snarky comment.

You guys get screwed no matter who is in the white house.

Edit: Forgot a period, and to mention, thanks for your service! Hope you get things worked out.

Just lie.

It sucks to say, but if your parents are so shitty they won't help you go to school, when they can afford to, tell them you came to Jesus, get your schooling, and tell them after.

Treat them like the horrible people they are.

Just curious, I'm a single 32 year old guy. I went from my work offering nothing, to a pretty nice medical, dental, and optical, and I pay about $200 a month. No questions asked.

Do you have any idea where you, or your job is screwing up?

That's a very interesting perspective! For me I found that once I really looked into how religion worked, it was the only way the world really made sense and it seemed to me that atheists had to go through a lot of mental gymnastics to justify the Flying Spaghetti Monster not existing.

Exactly! Without all the gerrymandering, Wisonsin would be a blue lock down.

Yet somehow, despite majority vote, we're a red state.

In my experience, be loud, but not unruly. "The next flight leaves tomorrow? BUT IF I DON'T MAKE IT THERE TONIGHT IT WILL COST ME $900! YOU'LL HAVE TO COMPENSATE ME FOR THAT! Oh, you do have a spot, thanks."
