Faves for this Web page
What in the world? I'm more-or-less slack-jawed at the whatever-it-is that SXSW has become. 24,000 paid attendees but what Austinite would ever pay these days, with such a spectacle on the hoof? Maybe next year we jump the shark - I can't wait to see what SXSW in decline would devolve into!
The city is today breathing a collective sigh of relief now that the band is (O.K., 1200 bands are) gone, along with the hangers-on. Heavy, cleansing rains expected for the next 24 hours. See you all next year.
Quoted: AUSTIN, Texas – So “food robot” Rachael Ray wanted to throw a South By Southwest party. Bloggers and other Web luminaries balked, to say the least.

Did you attend SXSW?
It's always fun but I never pay. I did sneak around a couple of events and rode downtown on bike just to catch the scene.
I only want to see small acts. Everyone's trying to play extra gigs here, as a result you can see who you want at a non-SXSW venue for free with no lines if you keep your eyes open.
I think the sideshow is more interesting than the paid event.
