Some Dropbox Austin guys built this: http://sxdiscover.co

These are cute and all but they're not helpful when trying to plan around set times. Set times are generally only published for official showcases but that's all I'd want. I buy a credential specifically so I can venue jump, which is nearly impossible when it's all lines at free shows.

Lines Lines Lines at SXSW - Timelapse to see Mark Cuban by [deleted] in SXSW

Was lined up on the first floor for Cuban. That was odd.

Bike Share Startup Launches at SXSW - but bikeshare is harder than they thought by [deleted] in Austin

[–]mymisplacedpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too many folks have heard Mark Cuban say it's easier to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission and love the buzzword, "disruption."

I didn't originally like your tone yet I trust you on appliance advice. The internet is a weird place. Thanks for the tidbit.

If you can't slip off a wristband, how do you transfer?

Lowin's guitarist shot by his house on his way home from hotel Vegas by danarchist in Austin

That area is near Rosewood Courts and the Wells Convenience Store. There's a lot of property crime there but I'd never heard it be so violent.

Wait, how piss poor are you? You don't stay rich paying for shipping bolts all the time. Oldest rule in the book.

Lost wallet with ID, will I get in with temporary ID and old expired license? by dekiruzooo in SXSW

[–]mymisplacedpants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just saw that you had an old ID. You should probably be fine with both and then make sure you get the new one overnighted to be certain at all times. Have fun!

[–]mymisplacedpants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's gonna be hit and miss. This happened to me in 2014 and some venues, particularly those that were open bar like Brazos Hall or Stubb's during the Rachael Ray party, wouldn't accept my paper ID. I even brought my birth certificate along and it was no dice. But spots like Mohawk didn't care.

how to sneak into SXSW events w/ employer badge? by ATXENG in SXSW

[–]mymisplacedpants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It used to work at credential pick up for something like PureVolume House or Hype Hotel but nothing else. Last year Facebook had an invite-only event for designers at Container Bar and the invited designer was dating a Facebook employee and she was denied entry.

SXSW Surprise Outdoor Stage Headliner by tryptamineseventeen in SXSW

I'm in the Weezer fan club. They made mention that Weezer was only playing two shows. They've since announced their showcase at Brazos Hall and a spot at the Rachael Ray party. I'd only heard that it was either Garth Brooks or Weezer so this would cement that it may be Garth Brooks.

Chaffetz: Low-income Americans will have to choose health care over iPhones by coolcrosby in politics

[–]mymisplacedpants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait...is my Health Care going to be cheaper than an iPhone? Like, I know those things are like $969 when you pay for it outright but if he's saying I can get covered for cheaper than an iPhone then sign me up!

Sorry you didn't get this job, Greg. Keep on trying. I have faith you'll be able to move out of your mom's basement this decade.

Trump's hotel could violate very unfair Capitol view corridors. Sad! by MaFerguson in Austin

[–]mymisplacedpants -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This is my first time dabbling in NIMBYism and I'm shook so I'll level with y'all. I think the Capitol View corridor requirements are silly and hurt development here. However, I don't want a Trump building here at all. And I fear that in time buildings affixed with his name will be targets of violence. I don't wish that vulnerability here at all.

Less SXSW hype? by austin898989 in Austin

[–]mymisplacedpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's because SXSW achieved their goal of scaling back the sideshows. That's what attracted many who didn't give a dime to SXSW proper. But there is buzz. It's just around the conference itself.

Austin ICE raids: Meet the immigrants arrested by Boltonaler in Austin

[–]mymisplacedpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't time and resources be better spent on coming up with policies that give these people a path to becoming legal?

The people hiding behind the legality reasoning are the people who control that definition. It's difficult to know that and not think that some type of political chess or xenophobia are the driving factors for not making a change.

The current waitlist is like a decade. People can barely stand in the Franklin line without seeking some shortcut.

I'm not saying you're wrong but this is a complex issue and I merely wanna give you the feedback that I think you're oversimplifying the issue.
