Well the Storm Area 51 was a BUST!
Even though more than 2 million people on Facebook at one point promised to Naruto run through the gates. Only a fraction of the crowd that was expected made it to Rachel by Friday afternoon, at one point amassing about 300 curious onlookers.
Just one woman was briefly detained when she stretched her foot under the barrier for the gate. Another man was arrested when, according to witnesses, he urinated on the gate while intoxicated.
Dozens of vendors selling everything from water bottles, food, posters, antennae, and frisbees set up shop, ready to cash in on the influx of tourists.
“We’re hustling, making money on the grind,” Ben Schroeder, who set up a table with his best friend Ali Alshehri said.
The two skipped a job fair at University of Arizona to sell posters and Area 51 T-shirts. “Look, I don't believe in aliens,” Alshehri, who was dressed in a ballooning solid green costume and wearing alien antennae, told BuzzFeed News. “All I believe is we have a bunch of privileged kids who are going to the middle of the desert and they don’t have food, water, or anything.”

That about sums it up - Just a bunch of privileged kids who are going to the middle of the desert and they don’t have food, water, or anything.
