DCist’s Valerie Paschall on this year’s SXSW:
“SXSW is a film, interactive and music conference that brings bands, fans and industry types from all over the world to Austin, Texas for several days of no sleep, free booze and sunburn. It is overstimulating, overcrowded and packed with elitists. It’s music industry spring break. It’s terrifying. It’s the most fun week of the year. It’s going to take another week to recover.”
