Will Austin terrorist attack impact SXSW attendance?


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?

SXSW

Alternative Event, Company

RIP JOE STACK's picture

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.

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.

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.

hellamasstightsickcash's picture

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

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.
