Any show by anyone who's known AT ALL, is practically impossible to get into without a badge these days. To think that Brangelina thought they could just show up to REM --- probably the top show at the whole damned festival-- with a bunch of people and just be let in is LAUGHABLE.
This really makes me kind of hate them, unless they are just totally oblivious about how SXSW works.
