I think every year there's a couple hundred counterfeit wristbands found. Recently SXSW has used RFIDs to prevent people from getting in with fake bands. Whether or not SXSW will honor wristbands from folks who get scammed, I don't know. Based on my interaction with them, they seem indifferent at best.</p> <p>And yes chris, Austin City Limits fest kicks ass. Maybe I'll head back to Austin for it this year...</p> Thanks joe.

Sounds like SXSW music is just hosed. Bands should boycott or purposefully play some weird shit so business types drop their cell phones or wet their Depends diapers. Is there much of a counterfeit op. for badges?</p> love your rants, as always. Sounds like SXSW music is just hosed.
