• The fun panels?
• The networking?
• The late nights with wacky drinking games?
• The hot viral rain of lab-made death that's going to wipe out everyone there in approximately 12 minutes? (Sorry, spoilers!)
The white people!
Anybody ever been to Kingston, Irish Town, or Port Antonio in Jamaica? Leaving on Sunday. Will take whatever tips you've got.

@Art Yucko
I'm at least aiming to get a parking ticket with a Zipcar this weekend. That level of civil disobedience will have to do.
THE TAG HUMOR!
"When God said "GIF TAGS" you though he meant "GIFT BAGS" and he gave yours to a Joseph Kony Slave Child.
@Art Yucko Dude! That's not Kony, that's Carl Weathers in Predator.

@NinetyNine Survey says: Not the real problem here.
The noise comments also
@Brad Nelson Also the noise comments
An earlier version of this story said Rachel Sklar moved to New York two years ago; that is incorrect. She has been in the city for 13 years.
The Awl March Madness Pool
@keisertroll I shudder to think about how much pee-pee there would be in an Awl pool. I mean, just from Balk alone.
@jolie I won the pool two years ago. Turns out it was a candy bar.
"Look, we don’t want to have cocktails in the lobby of the Kimber Hotel and sit at a table and listen to tech writers give speeches. We don’t want to eat another Mighty Cone, or waste another afternoon drinking coffee in some old house. We found ourselves thinking more often than not when we’d receive an invitation, we’d rather cut our heads off with a knife."
I would say the barbecue. I would say it if I could get any cheap-skate company to send me to Austin ostensibly for panels on retroformatting viral social brandworking paradigms. But I'd go for the barbecue.
Someone else likes to work subtle, I see.
@Matt This.
I'm looking forward to the time between SXSW 2012 and SXSW 2013, know as the rest of the time we're not talking about SXSW. Which means we're probably talking about cat memes and bears.
Is anyone else concerned Invisible Children missed a primo opportunity to expand their brand by releasing Kony2012 a week before SXSW?
Someone told me they have bands play after. Should I stick around? Are they anybody I might have heard of?
See "Beauty is Embarrassing." Wayne White is cool.
SXSW is nothing but a brilliantly conceived marketing ploy to trick people into thinking Austin is a place that exists. But I've been there and I can tell you for certain that it doesn't. All they do is fly your plane around for a while and then they land in Denver and make you walk past a bunch of food trucks as you leave the airport to give the ILLUSION of there being a place called Austin.
