- momo42, on 03/10/2009, -0/+4It's not apart of SXSW, the digg thing is free
- SemiSarcastic, on 03/10/2009, -0/+4Well at least we got more trees...and a lot less traffic!
- marnaq, on 03/11/2009, -0/+2Hahaha. Kids, don't join the army, mmkay.
- 72doubledown, on 03/10/2009, -0/+2Good stuff, but they aren't going to let you in Stubb's with beer.
- mustanggt1989, on 03/10/2009, -0/+2I live 2 miles from Stubbs. I'll prolly stumble over there with some local Fireman's Number 4 beer for them to try.
- phlezk, on 03/10/2009, -3/+5As I'll be driving through Austin during Spring Break, I'll try to make it to this! w00t!
- xGrill, on 03/10/2009, -0/+2Update: Its actually all ages
- RiMac, on 03/10/2009, -1/+2Truth from all three points. Austin is pretty much chaparral cut up by the worst civil engineers Texas has to offer.
- rrasco, on 03/10/2009, -0/+1For living in San Antonio I should be ashamed I've never been to SXSW. I don't think I have plans this weekend, I guess I might now.
- rrasco, on 03/10/2009, -0/+1No, they would have to be from SF to fit in.
- xGrill, on 03/10/2009, -0/+1I would drive, but I am under 21, so I won't be able to get in. Most places will let you in at 18 with a black "X" written on your hand, but not this one.
- jftitan, on 03/10/2009, -3/+4I'm in San Antonio... I can make it.. I'm unemployed. Bus ticket... I'm so there.
- OAKsider, on 03/10/2009, -1/+2Mom?
- jobobshishkabob, on 03/10/2009, -0/+1Yeah I believe its all ages. They said 21+ on the digg townhall, but they looked confused when they said. The blog post on rev3's site and 3 episodes of diggnation said all ages.
- keyforce, on 03/10/2009, -0/+1Stubbs isn't a 21+ venue, generally.
- artfuldodger1, on 03/10/2009, -1/+2Houston has more trees and I-35 is worse than any road I have been on in Houston.
Although Austin is still a much better city than Houston, and Dallas is just terrible. - artfuldodger1, on 03/10/2009, -3/+4SXSW, the time of the year when Austin is invaded by 9000+ hipsters from L.A....
- inactive, on 03/11/2009, -0/+1Well at least now it will also be invaded by 9000+ neckbeards from Digg.
- marnaq, on 03/11/2009, -0/+1OVER NINE THOUSAND???
- sweeneyowns, on 03/14/2009, -0/+1don't join the air force either.
