Yo Dawg, Don’t Phreak

For this year’s White House Easter Egg Roll, the social office apparently contracted with a company called Front Gate Tickets to handle ticket distribution.

Front Gate handles tickets for a lot of concert venues and is therefore accustomed to a more colloquial way of doing business. Which produced this screen if you logged on for Egg Roll tickets during a heavy volume time:

chill

Not exactly Grover Cleveland-style White House language, but you have to appreciate the fresh approach.

After a bit of a Facebook kerfuffle, the “chill” language has been removed.
