You don't have to go home, Tyler, but you can't stay here. All photos by Rebecca Smeyne.

​Another SXSW is in the books, granting great relief to those of us who were just subjected to five straight days of partying-related Twitter updates, and great sorrow to those who became accustomed to the 80 degree weather and not getting snowed on in freezing cold New York City.
