For 10 days, throughout the interactive, film and music portions of SXSW, Austin is a complete madhouse. Streets close. Buses detour. Cops dedicate exponentially increased man-hours hauling drunken punks out of drunken punk shows. And life as usual in Austin comes to a grinding, economically magnificent, halt.
It's a real nice spectacle to visit, but I'm not sure I'd want to live in it. Matt Driscoll
