Being in another country, doing schoolwork hurts especially much. 
Would really like to see R.E.M. live at SXSW...
Good!

Parallel SXSWi

One is to participate in BarCamp, which is a really cool way to involve yourself in an actual community. Another one is to follow some SXSWi attendees on Twitter. Yet another one is to realize that SXSWi might have jumped the shark (or lost its edge, as CNET's Daniel Terdiman said). An even more satisfying approach is to realize that SXSWi becomes more about groupthink and groupies than about vision, visionaries... and thoughtleaders.
