Even the guy who was going to suck dick for water?

That guy should be considered a goddamn legend imho. He was willing to choke down a hot load so that people wouldn't suffer from dehydration or worse. That dude was beyond willing to help throw a party/avert a total disaster, and he's alright in my book, no doubt. I really hope he landed on his feet after the shitshow that Fyre turned out to be.

Lol, that's amazing. I can just imagine him getting that question and starting his reply with, or at least thinking, "well you obviously haven't seen the Frye festival documentary, and that's a good thing". Seriously though, he wasn't the hero they deserved, but the hero they needed.

As I recall he had deep experience organizing events of this type. He knew it was going to implode but chose to stay on and do what he could to avert a worse disaster.

Exactly. Guy's a fucking hero. I know it's kind of a funny story, but that's a pretty goddamn selfless offer, especially to help out a bunch of strangers.
