The SXSW Traffic Jam – Austin, Texas
Sometimes a single image captures an entire event — The SXSW Traffic Jam.
A hipster drives a pedicab filled with out-of-towners. Two pedicabs pass, blocking the road for a fairy riding a unicorn. The police is there to keep the peace while bystanders snap smartphone pics. Nearly hidden in the back, a man in a purple body suit hands out promotions.

I’ll be glad when SXSW is over. I’ve got stuff to do in downtown but I avoid the area until the madness passes.
I try to embrace the madness to overcome my hesitation.
