Hasta La Creative!

Here we are, less than 24 hours from the spectacle that is SXSW. As the minions descend on Austin, and the rest of the world gawks from afar, there’s a vocal contingent who literally can’t even.

A healthy disdain for SXSW has developed in recent years, and seems to be hitting a crescendo, oh, right about now. Below, check out some snark-laden tweets from people who are going, can’t go—or are already there but would rather be anywhere else.

See you in Austin, haters!
