From Splitsider: Why Doesn't SXSW Pay Its...
SXSW is not a comedy festival. There are no wristbands or badges to buy to see comedy shows; it’s all free — provided you’ve already bought wristbands or badges to see other SXSW events. Comedy is the gift that comes with purchase, like a decoder ring at the bottom of a box of cereal. The festival, which began in 1987, has only included comedy since 2008. While it has a long history of...

I am not someone who worships at the altar.

Brooklyn matters…really it does. At least that’s what all of us who live there keep telling ourselves. And yes, we’re all getting big heads now, and feeling self-important, and envisioning that we’re way the hell cooler than we actually are. But honestly: it’s not our fault! Everyone and their brother can’t stop talking about Brooklyn, writing hit songs about Brooklyn, developing HBO shows that...
