I checked the Star-Telegram after getting a text message telling me that the Panther Fest Slide the City operation had malfunctioned. But the beer and music part of the event would carry on.
Then a few minutes later I got an email telling me that Panther Fest is now a Multi-Injury Event, with MedStar deploying its AmBus multi-patient bus to North Main Street to assist with multiple people injured at Slide the City.
A few minutes later another email told me that the injuries are not water slide related, they are heat related. Multiple rehab units have now been deployed to help cool people down.
And just seconds ago another malfunction message, this one via a blog comment...

SNAFU at the Slide Fest / Pantherfest. Dud Kennedy's Twitter page has the story.
Film at 11. Belay my last. Film at 10 or not. Probably not. Who knows.

I have no idea what "Belay my last." means.
So, this latest Trinity River Central City Panther Island Vision Boondoggle product is one more rousing success.
I don't know why it did not occur to anyone that something might go awry with some out of state alleged charity operation coming to town to quickly set up a 2,000 foot long water slide running down Fort Worth's Main Street over the Paddock Bridge.
I heard yesterday that the slides had sold out. If I remember right sliding cost something like 25 bucks.
Sold out? Would that be a thousand slide tickets sold? Ten thousand?
How do the victims of this latest product of America's Biggest Boondoggle get a refund?
