I offer here a selection from the sights of another successful SXSW in downtown Austin. While it is now just a memory, SunNewsAustin.com will be continuing its detailed reports on the intellectual sessions through the end of March.

Stage set at Goodbye Charlies on Red River St.

The Fire Dept. displayed its fire engine from the 1950s
The Univ. of Cincinnati took over a room at the Hilton to promote its co-op program
There was a vibrant Brazilian vibe at Sao Paulo House
This is why all the events this year were held in hotels and small buildings, some even east of Highway 35. The site of the Austin Convention Centre is now a hole in the ground. Hopefully SWSX will return here in 2029 when its replacement is complete
