was pondering the sxsw website (sxsw.com, naturally), and couldn't seem to find a
certain basic piece of information: cost.  I understand that they don't open
registration for quite a while (september early they say), but it'd be nice to have
just a ballpark figure, at least.  has anyone here been to a con recently?  any idea
how much it costs to get there & get in?

as a relatively poor college student, i have a tendency to get really excited in
these kinds of things, and then faint at the price; I pondered MacWorld New York
briefly until i noticed admission *started* at 300 USD. . . (for comparison, I spent
just over 300 USD for books this last term, and less than that every previous term.
I could get a super pass (everything but the 'power tools') to the five day long
MacWorld in New York next month for the price of 4 terms' worth of books.)

so i wondered how much SxSW cost.  'cause they aren't sayin.
