Now I'm really glad our daughter is skipping SXSW this year. She's in Austin for Spring Break but said this year's linup just didn't impress her and the whole deal's getting too commercial...no kidding, if Franken-roid gets onstage.
BTW, as a Tech grad I was impressed when the Longhorn fans in KC cheered for the Red Raiders against OSU Sunday...
pure class, and true to Texas! Thanks & go get Nevada.
The dopes backing these ventures are big time fat cats of the left, like Soros, et al. They expect their payoff to be really big but these propaganda ventures are what are called "loss leaders." They set the stage for the big kill.
Indeed! SXSW is all about tourism now, and does not really resemble they way it was conducted 10+ years ago. I used to get the wristbands for $20, now they're over $120 or so. It's all commercial and too many busybodies (aka self-important fools) running around.
I was cheering for Tech as well, albeit from home. I'll be rooting for Tech throughout the tourney and would love to see the Horns get past the Illini.
Dontcha know. ;^)
