Analogies

Goldman: "SXSW is Spring Break for dorks."

Bruce Sterling: "According to my design students, who itch to go there, SXSW Interactive is a distant, impossibly hip imbroglio where the pixelized crème de la crème is pushing the avant-garde hard enough to dent it. I never knew that before; when I lived in Austin, I naturally assumed that SXSW Interactive was some kind of overgrown geek accident."

Me: "SXSW is TED for the proles."
