Soon, you will have to bind your own wrists...

So, you didn't want to fork over your hard earned (earned, stolen, laundered) cash for one of the insanely priced badges being hawked on the SXSW registration site. Nor did you have the wherewithal to whore yourself out to one of the many panels that would have provided you one as compensation for your incomprehensible musings about the state of the blogospere.

"I'll just get a wristband. That's what I'll do." You told yourself on those quiet nights alone in your bed.

But you didn't, did you?

Now you are sad. The $110 dollar tickets are long gone, and now, according to News 8 Austin, wristbands for the music festival are SOLD OUT!

At least temporarily.

Don't miss what may be your last chance at redemption! A limited number of wristbands will be released on the 16th for the low low price of $150. Mark it on your calendar, tattoo it on your forehead, pitch your tent now on the sidewalk outside of waterloo records. Do what you must. You have been warned.
