“It’s all about your purpose. What are you trying to accomplish that day? Somedays you want to get drunk. Get drunk. Somedays you want to see music. See music. Just stick to that purpose” – Micco
“Out of all the things that you can do at SXSW that you don’t necessarily need a badge for, the Startup Crawl is something you can get value out of as a pure civilian if you’re looking to get a job, network, or find out more about the startup community” – Paul
“For anybody, if you have any investments in those specific areas; you’re a startup tech company, you’re a film maker, you’re in the music industry, in any shape or form, get into the conference. It’s more important than the shows.” – Chris
“You’re at a festival and you get to watch it with the director, the cast, and the people. It’s a cooler experience and you get to enjoy the movie that much more when you get to hear from the cast, and you get hear about how they shot it.” – Obi
“Crowd control was definitely a goal for us (ie SXSW Mafia) this year. Things fill up so we want to make sure that people are moving in the right direction. It’s up to us to be on Twitter because it’s kinda like a commitment to people that we’ll be there to help you.” – SXSWhoa
