The illness is real. I’m one of many Austinites with “Post SXSW Alcoholic Binge Disorder”.

Here’s a glimpse of the symptoms:

• Looking in cupboards for booze
• Asking if you ‘need a wristband’ before you go in anywhere
• Ringing in the ears
• Sore feet
• No food in house
• Half empty water bottles appear to be breeding in house and car
• Purse full of stickers and flyers
• The shakes
• Missing shoes
• Greasy hair
• Putting on night club clothes instead of getting ready for bed
• Spending all day reading blog coverage and streaming new music

Those are just the beginning. And there’s no cure I’m aware of…
