Details are still emerging about a plane flying into some leased Internal Revenue Services office building in Austin, Texas. No one can confirm if this was terrorism, or just some bro who 'went bonkers.'
Sources say it was an isolated incident, but modern indie music fans can't help but wonder about the impact of this on SXSW, a music + technology conference where some of the world's most brilliant + relevant minds gather for two weeks of parties with alcohol sponsorship.

Many wonder if buzzbands will still make the commute into Austin and risk their lives'.

Will u still be making the trip to SXSW, or will you go to Mexican festivals instead, because Mexico is safer?

@\\\\\, Nobody is upset that Wilco isn't playing
so worried that flatstock 20 might be cancelled. POSTERS BURN TOO! posters burn too...
i live in austin and somehow still feel unconnected.
@broseph stalin, YEAH!
taxes are a pain.
A message on a Web site registered to Joseph Andrew Stack appears to be a suicide note: "If you're reading this, you're no doubt asking yourself, 'Why did this have to happen?'" the message says. "The simple truth is that it is complicated and has been coming for a long time." In the long message, the writer rails against the government and, particularly, the Internal Revenue Service.
Suicide note y'all:

Might wanna screenshot/print screen/copy paste it before it gets taken down.
Anyway; SXSW, Coachella, Pitchfork Fest, Bonaroo... pretty played out.
Anyone going to Sasquatch?
Maybe big festivals with long lists of buzz bands are no longer authentic.
Probably catch the bands I like at a local, smaller venue on their own tour.
@kevbro, wakarusa, dfest, sasquatch. where the real alts go
@deez nots,
no flatstock. no care.
@kevbro, only fggts go to sasquatch the real deal is Vans Warped Tour.
if the bands i want to see are still going, i'm still going. planes don't scare me.
its not terrorism b/c hes white
Probably the most 'lols per line' of any HRO post ever.

Damn. I live in Austin. I had the chance to be a part of "hipstory" and I blew it.
kinda scared that u have sumthin to do with it carles, the timing of your latest blog post is kinda eerie
NEVAR FORGET!
Ah man, I wuz 12elve wen da last wun of dees happened and now it's happnin again.
Will the children who are 12 noah, generation Z, late gen y remember this as their 9/11?
Will Barry Bama declare war on rich white Americans who own planes?
Will the chillins be scared by this, futher hindering the progess of da 90s baby?
Iz freedom over?
Shud we be ready for a rich wite guy sending MP4's out of him threating America?
Will their be a anthrax attacks in March 2010?
2/18 NEVAH FAHGET!
Texans know WTF is up
it is safer for u to come to the MX festivals..., cause ehmmm we don't have planes...
anyone know how i can find his personal website?
It was those damn scientologists... They hate the alt.
not really funny to make fun of this situation
@n, yeah, this was kinda sarrry, but not rearry. You all torn up about that one person in the building who died?
wow just saw the MtyMex lineup and creamed my amm appies, as an advanced/disenfranchised/auth mexicalt that never gets to go to 'good shows' and have meaningful times with like-minded alts.
sxsw is far from alt. srsly. once perez hilton started going it lost all cred. sasquatch is totally still alt tho.
Kanye will save sxsw. His presence will turn Austin into a no fly zone that week. My ideal festival would be Kanye, DAS EFX, and every one else who sold enough tickets, as long as their performance is all Kanye covers
this post is pretty macabre, carles.

The LCD screen review from www.nbkit.com
14" LCD screen is very pupular in year 2009 and 2010,. In past 5 years , 14.1 is classical and brilliant , but in today, 14.0 replaced her. Compare to 14.1" CCFL backlight, 1280x 800 resolution, big weight, big consumption 14.0 " LCD Screen has LED back light, slim and light, 1366x768 resolution and low consumption. And the more important , from 14.1 to 14" perhaps only this 0.1" , just the 0.1" save many cost for laptop manufactures... 14" laptop for man or women, not heavy and easy to travel and perfect display effect. inevitable it take up 35% seat at laptop market. NBkit.com statics shows that in most size laptops, 14" has very low repair rate. compared to other size LCD screens.
