These memes perfectly illustrate what SXSW is like for locals

SXSX is back and so are our SXSW memes. While some things have changed over the years, other things look exactly the same. What kind of things are you asking? Traffic jams, stupid weather, Austin newcomers hit the festival for the first time. You know, those things that people love to complain about.

We are next to you! That’s why we created these memes that perfectly illustrate what SXSW is like for the locals.

Send this to your friend who always says he won’t be at the festival this year but then you tell him about the best free drink party ever.

And while you’re standing in line, be prepared for this…

When things aren’t free, get ready for those price spikes!

We do not know a single person who could not relate to this.

And that’s pretty much all of us all the time. We just don’t usually need to be fashionably ready for a 12-hour work day. Heck, sometimes a 16-hour day happens.

Even when you are ready, you are not ready. This beast of the festival will leave even the most well-rested, well-hydrated, mentally stable person by the end of the week.

So newbies beware, it’s all fun and games until the next morning.

And if you’re old school, be sure to be patient.
