SXSW

There was an article that appeared in the Austin Statesman on February 25th, talking about the new method for buying wrist bands to attend South By South West (SXSW). http://www.austin360.com/blogs/content/shared-gen/blogs/austin/music/entries/2008/02/25/sxsw_shocker_wristbands_didnt.html#comments. SXSW is an annual music festival held in Austin, Texas. This article spurred 32 comments, which is the highest I've seen yet, from any article in this publication. The posts were both pro and con. People are really fired up about they're feelings towards this festival. The comments continued for four days after the article was written.

Justin, nice job with this post. Why do you think people got so fired up over this particular story? Next time, add some excerpts from some of the best comments. That would help give your readers a little taste of what they can expect to see if they go to the site.
