Did you ever watch one of the million documentaries about Fyre Fest?
If you haven’t, brace yourself. And pick any one of them… they’re everywhere: Hulu, Netflix, etc.
Even after the creator of Fyre Fest spent time in jail for fraud, they tried to have another Fyre Fest. It got postponed indefinitely.
Then they listed “Fyre Fest” for sale on Ebay and I thought, surely no one would want to be associated with this debacle, even if it was free.
The auction included the rights to the Fyre Festival brand, including its IP, brand trademarks and social media assets.
But just when you think there might be a glimmer of hope for sanity in the world… Fyre Fest actually had bidders. And then it sold.
FOR $245,000! What?!?! And more importantly, WHY?!?!
Because people will literally buy anything. Anything!

And tune in weekdays starting at 10am to St. Croix Country & WCFW!
Laura McKenna grew up in Ohio and got her first job in radio in La Crosse in 2005. She packed up her stuff, made the move, and has been in Wisconsin ever since! Her favorite season is winter but she loves to spend all summer in her vegetable garden. When she isn't in her pink kitchen cooking up vegetarian recipes, more than likely she's taking bubble baths, reading mystery novels (sometimes while in a bubble bath), cheering for THEE Ohio State Buckeyes, or officiating weddings! She married her best friend from college last year but they still don't live in the same house yet. Laura's favorite way to spend a Friday night is watching Dateline with her cat (Phil Dawson) on her lap. She's thrilled to be back keeping you company during the workday on 105-7 CFW!
