Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)

  1. The auction doesn’t say whether the SXSW tickets are just for Music or include Film+Interactive as well (which is what I’m interested in).

  3. Okay, here’s the update: The SXSW badge is a music badge which means you get to scoot to the head of the line for all music stuff, but this does not get you into the film or interactivity stuff. We’ll update the description with that info, and thanks for the question!
