SXSW Cofounder Louis Meyers Dies at 60
The opening day of this year's South by Southwest festival was filled with the sobering news that one of the events cofounders had passed. Louis Meyers died in Austin at the age of 60, with initial reports indicating a heart attack as the cause of death.
A promoter and manager at the time, Meyers helped book the first ever South by Southwest festival in 1987, and continued booking for the festival until 1994, at which point he sold his shares citing health problems.
