Has anyone ever been to South by Southwest? Is anyone going this year? What's the deal with it??

I'm debating if I'm going

Not my type of music, but I do love large festival shows. Although I'm disappointed with most of the lineup for Rock On The Range this year.

Not just music. It's also the premiere film festival in Texas. Plus, I hear the web/interactive is huge, too.
I'll be going to a few screenings. Trying to decipher some tips to get my film in next year.

Yeah, I thought so, I just don't know that much about it (except that I wanna go). My roommate & I were just talking about roadtrippin' it out there, but then we realized its like 2 weeks away... Any idea how much it is? Couldn't find it on the website, but I probably didn't look too thoroughly.. How is it set up? It seems ridiculously f'n huge.

I can bring my iPod over and blast rock outside your window if that will work. No cost in that...

Summerfest is bigger and probably better... but it sounds interesting.

I kindq want to go, but I'm leaning toward Lolla. They leaked some of the line up and it looks like RHCP, killers, radiohead, gotye, korn, and a few others I'm to faded to remember. Looks worthwhile.

Tis the truth indeed. They ate the self proclaimed worlds biggest music festival, don't know if it's true though

Check out NPR All Songs Comsidered. They do a pretty good job of pre coverage and their archives from past years are avaiblele.

Big Steve: it is Every type of music except classical. Every type.

It's amazing. You must experience it sometime. Austin, in general, is da bomb when it comes to music. Love it!
