If you remember the 70's, think "AquaFest".. THAT"S where it should have stayed so locals could enjoy.... let's see.. OH YEAH, LOCAL SHIT! I DON'T think you'll find the majority are "joyful". and if you want to leave town and rent out your house, you better give the city their cut and buy a permit.. thank "GAWD" the fucking tourists are gone for the most part.. now just the Rodeo people to contend with.. I vote we have a month in Austin with no events.. or better yet.. share the wealth and divide it up among us locals to go out and have a drink on the fuckers that organized SWSX.

This issues you list, for the most part, are limited to the immediate downtown area. Which should be easy enough to avoid unless you live or work there. If the former it would be pretty easy to prepare for, the later may need some assistance from your employer but doable none the less.
To say the rock and roll was better 50 years ago just shows you aren't a fan of innovation, evolution, or change. Nothing wrong with that at all.
was there any big festival in February ?

One of my regrets in life was not seeing the Ramones. I had a chance I let slip and then Joey died a few months later.
Did you happen to catch the Riverboat Gamblers this year?
