An Entertaining SXSW Game

So standing in the Jo's/San Jose parking lot, my friend and I decided to create a perfect SXSW game. Pick out a person or group and try and decide: locals or SXSW attendees?

Since there is really no way to tell for sure if you are correct, you just kind of go with group consensus. In playing, we picked out some blatant signs of out of town-ness.

Here are my favorite signs that you are not from Austin:
1. You are wearing a giant purple fuzzy hat in 80 degree humidity. Go back to LA and eat a burrito for me.
2. You are a man with a full face of make-up.
3. You are wearing a "Bad Ass Cinema" shirt that has obviously never been washed. And your friend is in the exact same shirt. On the same day.
4. You have an ironic mustache. This is sometimes seen on the locals, but the preponderance was staggering over the past week.
5. You are wearing cowboy boots in 80 degree humidity.
6. You are a man wearing high healed low top dress shoes. So hip!

And my favorite sign that you are not from Austin:

You have an all access badge.

See you next year!
