Westworld at SXSW: We found Sweetwater and it was exactly as we hoped
Can't make it to Austin? Well here's the closest you can get.
Make your choice
Once you arrive, there's no turning back. (But honestly, would you even want to?)
Westworld has taken over South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, Texas, this year and it is 🔥. Can't make the trip to Texas? Well, we've obtained photos of the in-depth activation and some fun facts about it.
Face your fears
Or just your (true) self.
Welcoming committee
HBO says the activation cast features 60 actors, six stunt people and five bands (primarily Austin locals) in addition to six local horses.
Careful where you're stepping
Danger might be just around the corner.
Choose your weapon
"Do me a favor and get into some shit tonight, OK?" one host told our reporter in Sweetwater.
Unsavory characters
They all come out at night, even at the bank.
One of these hosts is not like the other 🤔
Seems like a large hint at Shogun World and a larger hint that the entire Delos operation is off its rails even more than we thought at the end of season one.
Stop by the post office
Who knows what the outside world has sent you?
Hello, stranger
What would you like to get into tonight?
Maybe a drink?
Bottom's up!
Or maybe a game of skill?
It's all waiting for you at the Mariposa Saloon.
Press your luck
If you dare -- all the hosts are ready for death, adventure or whatever you can dream up.
Drink wisely though
What IS he pouring?
Accidents do happen
The action might heat up.
Coronado Hotel has all the amenities
Come on in and sleep tight.
Plus another bar
You'll sleep especially well after a nightcap.
Not all hosts are friendly
But you can't tell just by looking.
Some might not even be hosts
Although...
Host or human?
If you can't tell...
...does it even matter?
Y'all come back now!
Season two of "Westworld" premieres on April 22.
