#notatsxsw

Posted by Colleen Kane

 

We understand that not everyone is at South by Southwest, and also that everyone who isn't at South by is probably getting pretty sick of hearing about it. Twitter (which everyone is also probably pretty sick of hearing about) has a tag for you!

Any Tweets from non-Austin origins can be tagged with #notatsxsw. And what began as a meme over the past few days has already turned into a website for everyone to gather, share, and plan their non- SXSW activities and parties. 

Bitter? Yes, some of the #notatsxsw taggers are. Check this tweet: 

A round trip ticket from PDX to Austin has roughly same carbon footprint as upgrading from a Jetta to a Hummer for 5 months. #notatsxsw

But for some, who are planning parties via their #notatsxsw tags, it's making lemonade from lemons. 

This has been a public service announcement from Scanner. We now return to #sxsw.
