[edit] Interactive part of SxSW?

Why isn't there any information about the interactive side of SxSW? --Ampersand2006 ^{( talk · user page design )} 11:52, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree, for an wired event as the SXSW, you'd think there'd be a huge dedicated wiki-section or article.--Conrad Kilroy (talk) 23:44, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

although the addition of photos is a good idea i think additions should of noted performances this year or pictures from previous years. Carrie Rodriguez was a noted performer at sxsw years ago and considering that official sxsw musical showcases do not begin until tonight [3/14/2007] photos for 2007 are not appropriate.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Junkiecosmonaut (talk • contribs)

• I don't follow this logic. Carrie Rodriguez is both a current SXSW showcase performer and a noted performer from a past conference. The photo is from an unofficial event, but so what? The only photo in the article before I added that one is a standard photo of the Austin skyline, that says very little about SXSW. SteveHopson 21:25, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cost of SXSW

Is it fair to say this event is fairly commercialized? I've heard that the cost to truly sample and experience the event is astronomical. -Rolypolyman 12:54, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Timing

'seems to me that the festival always coincides with Spring break (at least, locally (UT)), but i can't prove it, much less source it: no such mention at sxsw.com. Anyone? --Jerome Potts (talk) 06:50, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] external links and all

Thanks to the anonymous who added the SuperDeluxe.com SXSW 2008 Highlight Video in the external links section: it is sooo lame that it makes you wonder whether the festival is interesting at all.
Oh, and: only one reference/source for the whole article? Duuude. How incomplete, how amateur, how lame.
