SXSW should never cost you that much, ever.

Flying from any hub will be <$200 round trip. Book in advance and you can find cheap rooms (or share a room with other starving founders) and you can do it for <$80/night.

Food is free. There are enough companies sponsoring events with food that you should never, ever have to purchase food- unless you're having a lunch meeting with a potential partner, client, investor, etc.

Booze are free. If you're paying for drinks anywhere- you're wrong.

The people I've met at SXSW have opened doors, landed contracts, moved investment talks forward, and have generally helped more than I could have ever imagined.
