All this hating on SXSW is hilarious, because most people here love SXSW. What's not to love about free beer and parties for a week? Yes, there is a bunch of bull shit that comes with SXSW, but it's not that hard to avoid it. Anyone who is complaining is just pissed because they actually thought they would get in to some shitty party where all the cool hipsters were going. And all the iPhone hating is bull shit too, because pretty much everyone in Austin has an iPhone. It's just a fucking phone, get over it. Shiner sucks and not that many people in Austin drink it, but even I don't think it's that unreasonable to order it in a bar in Austin. But really, if anyone wants to complain, just get the fuck out of Austin. I don't care what you think about SXSW or our city, the worst day in Austin is still 1000 times better than the best day in your shithole. Most of these people are full of shit.

Even a big city re-re like you should know that corn doesn't grow in Texas. And Austin is only unfriendly during SXSW because the locals are all pissed off that these touristy douches take over their whole city for two weeks, making traffic a nightmare and causing bars to raise prices of drinks by a factor of 80%.

And (in NZ at least) we aren't too familiar with compulsory tipping because we have a system different to the States, with a universal minimum wage ($12.50/hr). Tipping is seen as an extra benevolent gesture, rather than obligatory. So while I understand the emotion behind the message, it sounds as though it might have been directed at customers who were wholly unaware.
