“If you’re new to SX and you don’t have a wristband or credentials, when you go somewhere, you really should stay at one venue because it’s hard for you to get anywhere” – Micco

“My #1 tip for SXSW: meet people in the line” – Lane

“I see the list of bands and I’m like ‘oh my god they’re coming’. I get excited. I got more excited when I let someone know about it.” – Boris
