Organizers find plenty of blame to go round in Area 51 storm cancellation


“The official AlienStock website posted an announcement that started off by explaining, ‘Due to the lack of infrastructure, poor planning, risk management and blatant disregard for the safety of the expected 10,000+ AlienStock attendees, we decided to pull the plug on the festival.’

The announcement continued on by stating, ‘The permit holder (Connie West) was given multiple opportunities to provide us with the proof that things expected at this festival were in place. In fact, she refused to provide to us, as agreed upon, contracts, proof of deposits or any paper proof of anything.’

“In an interview with News 3, West expressed that she was completely ‘blinded by the exit and that she has already invested thousands of dollars of her own money into necessary security, medical, and sanitation measures.’ However, she did tell the Associated Press that she has 20 musical acts and 2 comedians that are booked to perform at the Inn from September 19-21 and that the show will go on.
