horrorbusiness138 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Such a shitty thing for a drunken idiot to do. I hope all people injured recover completely, and I hope for the families of the 2 people that died that justice is served. Such a shame. My heart goes out to everyone involved (except the drunken fucktard that was driving the car of course). BackAlleyRiot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 i heard about the accident this morning. the Mohawk is one of my absolute favorite Austin venues, so it was surreal seeing all of the photos/videos of the aftermath. just really sad.

bobbydrake33 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I have a friend who was in the cab that got hit. She broke several vertebrae, but thankfully had no injury to her spinal cord. She works for the same organization I do, and has been doing extensive coverage at SXSW. We were trying to start a fund, but it looks like one has been created by representatives of SXSW, the Austin Convention and Visitors Bureau and the City of Austin with the Austin Community Foundation started one already. The funds will be disbursed to those most affected through a community-based process. https://www.austincommunityfoundation.org/?nd=donate_detail&donation_id=2831&return_nd=donate I will more than likely start a thread for this. If you guys can help out it will be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stl_ben Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Yeah I wasn't on that block last night, thankfully I was safe across town. On a happier note I enjoyed the Topshelf showcase today...and any show with free vinyl gets a A+ in my book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I've heard is she has been asleep for the past few days. And in a few days she will be fitted for a back brace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

controlthebleeding Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 fuckin' tyler the creator was arrested for inciting a riot.. well i wouldn't call it a riot, more like telling people outside the fence to push the fence over until they all stormed in.. luckily no one was trampled. this is becoming more and more prevalent in recent years. people are coming hear in droves instead of the beach now to get fucked up, and tear shit down, then leave. i wish they could somehow figure something out to limit the amount of people from coming here. it's gotten bad, and i personally stay clear from downtown the whole festival due to it. it's attracted way too many meatheads. i think next year things are gonna change due to the incidents that have happened this year and the years past. it's gotten way too big.

scottheisel Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 The article Vice did on SXSW is perfect. Perfectly hypocritical, sure. The article can be summed up like this: "I used to go to SXSW and it was cool but now I'm not going because it sucks." Typical Vice garbage. It's so boring to visit a website who pretty much solely exists to hate on things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamalatapes Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 it's attracted way too many meatheads. I agree and it's rather unfortunate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3arl Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I haven't been in a couple years, but if I go back I'll probably either buy a badge or just hit up day parties. Day stuff was always more fun anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
