I mean, in a lot of ways, I'm the target audience for this thing. I'm under 40 so the idea of going to a festival is far fetched but not completely absurd, I have super dorky tastes in music and I've seen all these acts except the Who before, and I could afford the ticket/airfare/whatever without having to take out a loan.

But the idea of siting through 6 greatest hits, festival sets of dinosaur rock outdoors bores me to tears. I'll probably see Dylan twice this summer because I'm stupid, but after an hour and a half of that I'm ready to go. I have no problem flying to see a concert if it's a one off thing, and i haven't been in years, but I'd be excited to go to SXSW again some time because at least you're in a city and there's stuff to do. But this thing just does not appeal.
