Party Management

On tour to support his latest book The Zenith Angle, Bruce Sterling's been ranting, in part, about his SXSW Party this year, trying to get his head around the turnout, which was 600 (about twice the max turnout for previous parties).

So, this is my problem, right? I have reached some kind of critical limit in these parties. You keep adding quantity and eventually there is a qualitative phase change here. They were nice about it and finally I got them to leave. I just announced that all of the liquor had been drunk and they left. There were no casualties and it was fine. But that's not what concerns me. What concerns me is next year's party. Because I don't have any way to define the proportions of this party nor do I have any security mechanisms in place, nor do the police. Which is kind of interesting....

Maybe Bruce will merge with Willie Nelson's picnic next year?

I was there and it was elbow to elbow.
