History Tends To Repeat Itself: The Mexican Government In Playa Del Carmen Says That No Fyre Festival 2 Event Is Taking Place, Even Amidst The $1.1 Million "Prometheus Pass" That Is Still For Sale`

Listen, this whole thing immediately felt like deja vu. And no, not because the first one happened and we got some insane documentaries and stories of influencers being trapped on an island and being served sandwiches that prisoners wouldn't eat:

But because we're doing the same song and dance in a different Mexican city every month it seems. Initially the festival was supposed to be in the Dominican Republic, then it was supposed to be in some place called Isla Mujares before that went south:

Then, they announced it'd be in late May in Playa Del Carmen and were selling "Prometheus Passes" for $1.1 million that Jeff D Lowe might bite the bullet on:

And, despite the only artist who agreed to perform being checks notes Antonio Brown, sales continue to go on as of this minute, despite a post over the weekend from the government in Playa Del Carmen saying that this event is quite simply not happening. All we have left now is a he-said-she-said between the Fyre organizers and convicted criminal Billy McFarland and the government, who they said they've been working with extensively:

And despite all of this, there's still at least a couple suckers who are willing to legitimately buy passes, whether that be Good Morning America buying a $1200 pass that will likely give whoever deals with expense reports there a heart attack, or wanna-be influencers who realize that this might be their shot at stardom on the next Netflix doc like Andy King who famously took a Big One for the Fyre team:

And for some reason, people are still interested in this entire story to where it seemingly goes viral every week with a new update. Feed the people their dose of drama and they'll follow. My GOAT Jerry "Old Balls" Thornton has written about this whole thing extensively and tips his cap to Billy's admiration and hustle and outright refusal to give up, despite what any governments might tell him about the legality of this whole thing. I tend to agree, let Billy run that "pyrt" ship to the moon or to the ground, mainly because it's good cinema for the rest of us to sit back and watch.

At this point, if I were in the odds business, the likelihood of this thing ever even getting to the 10 yard line is slim to none. They're stuck on their own 20, with a couple of cool looking graphics on social media, and the ability to create a Shopify store with a price tag of minimum $1,400 up to $1.1 million, and apparently slap a "all ticket sales are final" and in all caps lettering "NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES" for this next festival.

The only thing here left to do is wish everyone, even Billy, involved a good luck, but particularly to one guy I found in my research who is on the Fyre reddit by the name of "HowardHughesAnalSlut" who apparently bought 2 tickets for $1,400 each and is having second thoughts to no avail:

Good luck indeed.
