South By Southwest: The Greatest Party You've Never Been To (Austin, Texas)

This thread has singlehandedly made me start looking seriously at Austin as a place to work after graduation. Looking at apartments under $2000/mo to split w. my redpill friend near 6th St. downtown.

^^^^^^^Before booking my hotel I checked the starwood site and no hotels had points availability for any of the 2016 SXSW days.

Going to Austin second weekend of August and I can hardly wait.
Apparently from all the people I've asked who live in Austin, Rainey Street has decisively become the scene to be at in Austin. Can anyone here confirm?
I'm also trying to calibrate style; what Sevens mentioned in his posts sounds doable but really hot: v-neck T-shirt, jeans, and boots. Please advise.
I'm staying in a hotel on South Congress right on the river. May the Father of Logistics shine favorably upon my gaming.

Thanks for the advice Sevens. We'll try and use Thursday night to calibrate and survey the scene, then nail down Friday and Saturday nights.

Great post, thanks.
Would a 32 y/o English guy from London do well in Austin? Or is it more younger focused, like under 25's?
Seriously looking at Austin for a week early October.

I guess this is now kind of the Austin datasheet, since all the others are now too old. I was there last weekend, tried to meet up with some forum members, but was unable to coordinate both due to his constant dates in the evenings (game recognized, bro), as well as my work keeping me.
That said, I was able to hit up a lot of the great restaurants in the city, the Alamo, and did a complete walk down 6th Street, from one end of East to the end of West by the Whole Foods HQ.
The scene was overall pretty muted, but I was largely expecting this. UT was not in session, and what I saw was a lot of mid/late 20s social groups from work. Generally in groups of 3-5, usually one girl, maybe two, and multiple guys.
I'm gonna wager these are largely the NYC/SF/LA startup folks that are flocking here now, because the city is now the new hip place to be, and the 'hip' factor attracts these kinds of people like a 5 to thirsty simps.
Opened a couple of sets here and there throughout the weekend, but nothing really stuck because work was always pressing on me.
Had a Tinder date set but she flaked due to "work", fortunately I had awesome backup plans set, sort of in anticipation for it. Still, as with most first time flakes, I keep the number and warm goodbye, I'll reopen... when I'm next in Austin I suppose.
I also had the feeling, cosigned by local members, that my hotel, even though right across the river in SOCO (South Congress), was a bit too much from 6th St. Something to keep in mind as I start to poke around for places to live.
The promise and pull of this city is still very much there for me, despite an off weekend. I've experienced enough to give me heart, and I trust Sevens' experiences as well.

What's up with the crazy high airbnb rental prices in Austin?
Almost everything downtown is at least $250 per night, if not closer to $1000 per night...

Anyone else planning to be in Austin for SXSW this year?
I am renting a place on AirBnB in Austin for SXSW but don't plan to buy a ticket to go to the actual events. I hear the town is bumping outside of SXSW events also(?)...

I'm thinking of going, and staying in my camper van. It has the comforts of home and fits in a regular parking spot. As long as I can find parking I should be golden.

I'll probably be in town for it. I'll find or improvise a place to stay worst case I can just drive home 3 hours away at 5 AM after the after parties.
