armchair cultural observation since 1995

SXSW feed lot

I hadn’t given much thought to SXSW before arriving, and didn’t have many expectations. My first experience of the place was waiting in line for ‘registration’ with hundreds, maybe thousands of other musicians. It was the most bedraggled, poverty stricken, drugged out, greasy bunch of insecure losers I have ever stood in a line with, and they were all arrogant to boot. Now this is a sad situation. We were all standing in line, waiting to be tagged, cows at the feed lot waiting for the slaughter, each one fighting to be first in line.
