— Wajahat Ali I know it’s not gonna make up for the cancellation of SXSW overall, but it would be awesome if us Austin folks could make an extra special effort to patronize local resto + retail establishments and tip like hell this month.Sxsw is one of my favorite festivals. Canceling it was the responsible thing to go. I know this sucks for many people for whom this was a massive opportunity. But we’re kind of in an unprecedented situation here and caution is key.
Thank you for the making the right decision.the real losers of SXSW being canceled are the town's bartenders and service workersSXSW is such a vital part of the film culture. The number of films that count on it to jump start their lives, and the careers tied to those films…Jesus.It’s hard to see how Coachella goes on if SXSW cancels. And if the summer festival season gets wiped out by Coronavirus this year, it’s hard not to think that’s the moment when the festival bubble finally bursts.
