Ah, South By. That time of year when the live music capital of the world becomes one massive block party. Days stretch into nights and back into days again. If nonstop entertainment, jetlag, or general laziness has you waking up craving migas and mimosas at 4pm, these 12 eateries ensure you can break your fast on your own schedule.

The legacy of a 20th-century fantasy master returns to Austin for the third year: Director Robert Rodriguez has announced that he'll be bringing 15 works by Frank Frazetta back during SXSW.

Chas Moore had it right.

In 2014, documentarian Irene Taylor Brodsky opened her email to find a message from her producers at HBO. It was a New York Times story about a bizarre crime in Wisconsin. "They sent me a link to the article, and nothing else," she said. "It was just jaw-dropping."

“Unfortunately, we have to turn this young girl away … And there was nothing I could do to save her,” Marva Sadler of Whole Woman’s Health Center in Ft. Worth says with tears in her eyes.

If you thought that the controversy between the city of Austin and transportation network companies Uber and Lyft would die down a bit until the May 7 election, you’d be wrong.

It’s shameful, really. The treacly suggestions on “How to Do Austin Like a Local during SXSW” from lifestyle media act as if the descending audience were very small children unaware of the monster hiding underneath the bed. 

When Excess Flesh played at SXSW 2015, it was as a Midnighter, the traditional domain of horror. Yet director Patrick Kennelly is wary of the terror tag. "We've been put in this box," he said, "but if there's horror in this, it's the horror of the self. It's about the horror of consumption."

The T-shirts told the tale: "Eat. Theatre. Sleep. Repeat." How else to explain the insane level of energy in the Long Center before breakfast last Friday? The young thespians there were as jacked up at 7am as their pigskin-minded peers are under the Friday night lights. The cause: The Greater Austin High School Musical Theatre Awards nominations.
