TIMF was horrible. Show times delayed, they were not prepared for rain, closed down most areas, and performers flaked #refund!

@timfsf How do we get refunds for day 1? TIMF rain or shine was False Marketing.

last night at #TIMF10 I literally hung out in a portapotty for half an hour just to take shelter from the torrential downpour 😑

The torrential downpour wasn't the biggest issue of #TIMF10, the festival's lack of communication was.

Twitter's reaction to a rainy #timf speaks to the expectation of packaged experiences and the utopian expectations of the area.
