South By South West is a lot like when you start dating someone. It’s frantic and you want to see them every minute and is genuinely a great time, but you can’t live like that all the time. You’d lose your mind.

I’m returning emails I received last thursday. I have no clean clothes left.

This city was overrun. We are simply not designed for that many people to be here and expecting entertainment 24/7. It’s easy to make an exception for a week and welcome the masses. If anyone loved the Austin they experienced during SXSW they will probably love the city year round if they move here.

This city will keep growing, and it’s going to change. This town isn’t even the same town it was when I moved here two years ago. I understand the “Don’t move here” sentiment, but that’s not quite my point of view. I’m more of a “Don’t Dallas My Austin” person. 

The sentiments from the fine folks at Shangri-La strike me as a request to let us get one full nights rest, and time to do our laundry.  It’s not saying get and out and never come back.

agreed.

yes.
