Yep, I wouldn't take the bump - flight into and out of AUS at the beginning and end of SXSW are like rare gems. A couple of years ago, my AUS-DFW cancelled when departing SXSW on that last day (Sunday morning circa 8am) and AA couldn't re-book me on anything out of AUS until Tuesday. On any carrier. With EXP status.
