The Effects of SXSW on Austin Bar Tabs

Vexing that all of the links to Enigma.io in the blog post are malformed. I manually navigated to enigma.io because who can resist that name, and was intrigued by what they do. I thought it might fit in with a technology class I teach. Disappointing to see in their terms you must be 18 to use it. What is up with the requirement you be 18? COPPA stops at 13, right?

It is frustrating to find overly eager attorneys eliminating the use of interesting products by students. Even Mozilla's Webmaker program requires you to be 18 for goodness sake!

Wouldn't it be more correct to say 66% growth? In other words, if sales were flat, I would think saying 0% growth makes more sense than 100% growth.

I'd like to see how geographically grouped the results would be. Glancing at the data, I see lots of growth immediately around the convention center but it drops off as you get further out of walking distance. Rainey street and (dirty) west 6th win big. I wonder how much it drops when you go further than a 10 minute walk

A big influx of people results in more sales, no surprise there. I'd be more interested to see how the average tip amount changes and if it's for better or worse.

I think you mean descend :)
