Bad blood, allegations of dirty dealing mar Storm Area 51 events
The last-minute switch in affiliation by the creator of Storm Area 51 has led to bad blood between those involved in competing events, and allegations of dirty dealing by both sides.
Late Thursday, Matty Roberts and his partner Brock Daily issued a cease and desist letter to Connie West, owner of the Little ALeInn in Rachel, stating that she was no longer to use the term Alienstock and they deemed the event canceled due to lack of preparation. Earlier in the week, Roberts abandoned his planned affiliation with the Alienstock event in favor of an event in downtown Las Vegas.
West fired back on Friday issuing two releases calling the town of Rachel the official host of Alienstock 2019 and declaring the party, set for Sept. 19-22, was on and safe.
There have been several reports in the press and on social media that Alienstock has been canceled, but this is not the case, West said in a statement. The event along with its extensive lineup of live music, and some otherworldly encounters will take place as scheduled and will provide its attendees with a chance to be part of something historic and look to rival legendary events of the past like Woodstock.
