Anybody ever been. I went this past weekend and they must have had around 500k people down there. Lots of fun and every time I have been to San Antonio it was always a lot of fun. The best time was during the Alamo Bowl when BAylor played Washington. It was nice to see some Baylor people down there.

Fiesta is a big deal.

Very cool thing they do.

Like the Tyler Rose festival.........but in a major city.....and with ALOT more drinking and partying.

love it

I grew up in San Antonio and grew to hate it. Haven't been since I was 24.

I could imagine growing to hate 500k people in my city over a weekend. I grew up in Austin and we all hate SXSW and ACL for the same reason.

What CSI said and as I grew older I became less of a fan of drunken debauchery.

I miss the food - not the crowds and parking.

Go Bears!
It’s method on the edge of madness
It’s a balance on the edge of a knife
It’s a smile on the edge of sadness
It’s a dance on the edge of life

Endlessly rocking.....

Last time I went, someone shot at me, and they had to cancel the parade.

Fiesta isn't really debauchery, btw. Well, some of it. It's mostly a family event.

Cause it turned a band I could see any other night for $15 into a $75 spectacular.

It's called the "Cali Yuppy Effect".

SXSW also became front and center to the "everyone wants to be counterculture" effect. In the beginning, the annoyances were offset by having a bunch of unsigned, undiscovered bands show up for a week. It took like 2 years before it became a sought after badge for those constantly chasing cool.
