Is anybody in here going to South by Southwest?

[BigHedd]

Or have any of you been? I REALLy want to go, but for a general wristband its $525. I know that sounds rediculous, but at 300-400 bands its not a terrible price. This has quite possibly the illest lineup ever, and they got a little bit for everyone (http://2006.sxsw.com/music/festival/).

Who I'm trying to see:
Animal Collective
Xiu Xiu
Arctic Monkeys
Dirty Projectors
Mogwai (!!!)
Talib
Of Montreal
Thunderbirds Are Now!
Brazilian Girls
Magnolia Electric Company
The Go! Team
Catpower
And Many Many More....

I read that in every review of SXSW I've ever read. The fee you pay gets you access to whatever but venues still can only hold so many people and if 1,000 people want to see a band in a 300 capacity venue, well you do the math.

Neither really. It sounds more like pure luck/happenstance. They can change venues any time, they can announce special limited seating, whatever, whatever, whatever.

I heard that a while ago, i don't know man, they've really f#cked up every adaptation of a Bret Easton Ellis novel. Really only Less Than Zero was anything close to the feel of the book.
