why has no one proposed the "wwwyf 2024 gerard will dress up as mother war" idea yet, and why do i have to realise it in my art school sketchbook

hell is hot for whoever is managing wwwyf24... that was the most stressful shitshow ever and barely anyone got tickets.
website was barely working, and was constantly kicking people off, giving them tickets then taking them away, not allowing them to create accounts, only giving them 20 second to check out, etc.
not to mention they sold out - DURING THE PRESALE.
they also immediately added a second date, which, if they were already planning on doing, why not just add it to the website right off the bat? and no payment plan options for the second day? you input your information and it automatically takes $400 out of your account when the tickets become available? shoddy at best.
i managed to snag a ticket thanks to my mom working overtime to get me one (props to her! shes fucking brilliant) but so many of my friends who were in the cue from 8am didnt even manage to get on the site, and if they did, they didn't get a ticket.
this is their third year running the festival, they should know what to expect and what to anticipate. I'm just hoping they didn't oversell tickets again like they did last year

They spoke of small dick, dirty dick, dads sucking dick for Oxycontin. At the pop punk nostalgia festival, Blink 182’s dopey stage banter and the delight I took in it remained unchanged since I last saw them in 2002, which happened to be my very first concert ever. That arena show had been a swift introduction to the tolls of the large-scale concert experience: crowd crush, brick cannabis wafting through collective body odor, six-dollar water, and kicks to the skull by crowd surfers in Doc Marten’s. However, the median age of the Las Vegas audience, as indicated by the man joking aloud that his knees would not permit him to pogo as Sum 41’s Deryck Whibley had instructed, ensured When We Were Young would be far more leisurely. Scattered wallets and vapes were hastily returned in the aftermath of light-handed mosh pits; my girlfriend and I refilled our plastic souvenir CVS water bottle at one of numerous free filling stations.
My body unburdened, the festival did not weigh heavily on my heart, either. I felt a warm pang hearing Saves The Day open with their breakthrough hit “At Your Funeral”, its rotation on MTV2 having been a soothing presence and a key gateway into emo. But for me, for the largely relaxed crowd, and certainly for Mark Hoppus and Tom Delonge, there was an assured distance between our current selves and whatever teenage torments this music had soundtracked. I learned this might be the experience one should seek at a backward-looking music festival aimed at one’s age cohort: an unencumbered jaunt through the past where, having made it this far, we are free to laugh at ourselves.
The only person taking it all quite seriously was Travis Barker.
