A big part of the SXSW experience is scrolling through the huge catalog of sessions that are available to attend. Most of these sessions have literal (boring) titles like “The Frontiers of Computational Thinking” or “The Changing Privacy Landscape”. Snore. Every now and then you’ll come across a session title that stops you in your tracks or at least makes you shake your head in amusement. Here’s a small collection of those types.
