Frau Festival goes awry
A book lovers’ conference in Colorado is being ripped on social media after the event descended into a disappointing catastrophe that some dubbed “the Fyre Festival of books” — and that even left one bibliophile with a black eye.
Last month’s Readers Take Denver event was billed as a four-day reader’s paradise, filled with popular authors, signed copies of books and a community of like-minded bookworms.
Instead, the conference was spoiled by hours-long lines, a lack of security, missing pre-ordered books, according to published reports and social media posts by attendees.

Meh… I read the article and it really seems to make it all a much bigger deal than it was. Comparing it to Fyre Fest? As far as “disasters” go this was pretty boring.

Not Fyre Festival level of bad, but it does sound pretty terrible. And these bookworm type of ladies often turn crazy when they get annoyed. They have little patience even for normal hiccups in life let alone something poorly planned.
