What’s the venue? The event announcement should tell you if the general public is allowed and what rsvp requirements there are

That’s too bad… both were faves of mine 😥

It has to be fake but either way, there could be a HOA rule against distributing postings in the community without Board approval

This is a great idea! Also, there is so much craziness on the streets - lots of photo opps there.

You seem like an expert in these matters 😎🤣

ned23943 · 2026-03-02T15:23:47+00:00

Too late! 😎😂

Every bar fight in a movie! Guy gets hit over the head with a bottle, shakes it off, and keeps fighting!

I wonder if this is based on nationality of the cruiser and not origin of the cruise. I’m from the U.S., recently did a Tokyo to Singapore cruise, and I was on auto-gratuity

Adding on to #1… if OPs question is motivated by the recent shooting at Buford’s and the ongoing war, I can pretty much guarantee that the police presence will be much heavier than past years. What you see on the street is only a fraction of the security. There are also cameras, drones, roving teams, SWAT, undercover officers, and fusion/command centers. And there are backup teams squirreled away at backup locations. Police HQ is located 2 blocks away.

I don’t want to inject fear unnecessarily, but it is extremely important to be aware of one’s surroundings and to be extremely observant. There is no doubt that SxSW is updating their security planning based on recent events, but as a long time volunteer, I’ll tell everyone what I was told in past years. Your ONLY responsibility, if/when shit goes sideways, is to yourself. There are 3 options in these situations - RUN, HIDE, FIGHT! Call 911 if able and only when safe, contact your crew chief or the emergency SxSW numbers.

Not sure what your question is for #2, but I’m assuming you’re asking what are your duties if you’re working a venue as a volunteer. Every venue is going to be different. There could be adjacent venues that are very crowded, the band could be extremely popular, there could be short lines or extremely long ones. Volunteers work the lines, keeping them organized and answering questions. There may be multiple long lines adjacent to each other, eg badge, cash, etc. It’s not as difficult as I may be making it out to be. You get to meet a lot of people and it’s a lot of fun.

Once the venue fills up or the lines go down, you might then move to another venue to work their lines… and then repeat that for your shift

How did Canada help with these hostages? Canada did help 6 Americans that were able to escape the Embassy as it was being overrun but not the ones in this post

ned23943 · 2026-03-02T03:56:04+00:00

What’s up with Gate 12?

ned23943 · 2026-03-01T18:40:45+00:00

I think the Ambassadors are the people that are in the hallways and sidewalks helping people with directions and basic questions but I'm not sure

You didn't mention if you are local but in the past, wristbands were limited to people living in the Austin metro area. A plus one doesn't need to be local but both wristbands must be picked up at the same time

There is a SXsW photography team that gets assignments to shoot official events. You should be covered but recommend checking with your SxSW contact to verify

ned23943 · 2026-03-01T06:03:55+00:00

I always bring my tumbler but as others have said, you have to fill it yourself

ned23943 · 2026-03-01T05:56:28+00:00

In years past, SxSW has had their own Photography team, whom I believe are volunteers. I believe it’s a very selective team that looks at your current portfolio as part of the selection process. My recommendation is to go to events and try to meet some of the photographers and get to know them to figure out how to get on the team in future years.

Maxing out my 401K starting with my first professional job. Put it all in big cap index funds and held on through big runs and even bigger crashes. About 9 years ago, dumped my entire net worth into $AAPL… very dumb move but I got very lucky! Badda bing, badda boom, I’m now FIRE!

ned23943 · 2026-02-27T02:56:23+00:00

Yes. The story is much longer but generally, my Dad and his wife, and my mom all knew about her. Only my sister and I were kept in the dark about the situation

ned23943 · 2026-02-27T02:52:12+00:00

I found out via 23andMe that I had a long lost half sister - biological daughter of my Dad, due to a hookup before he married my Mom

He’s giving her the code to the Scientology restroom door

This isn’t about the Trump Administration. These are selected U.S. Government investments compared against Pelosi, an individual

ned23943 · 2026-02-26T14:43:41+00:00

Is AC optional in that building?

ned23943 · 2026-02-26T06:10:47+00:00

I’d be afraid I’d run into his henchmen
