You don't have to go home, Tyler, but you can't stay here. All photos by Rebecca Smeyne.

Another SXSW is in the books, granting great relief to those of us who were just subjected to five straight days of partying-related Twitter updates, and great sorrow to those who became accustomed to the 80 degree weather and not getting snowed on in freezing cold New York City. But all things must come to an end, even for Odd Future’s Tyler, the Creator, who had to go home to his mom’s house like all the rest of Austin’s expatriate population come Monday morning. Our recap of the actual festival is to follow; in the meantime, intrepid photographer Rebecca Smeyne was there and brought back photos. Many involve people breaking things in convention centers (or maybe that’s just Das Racist?). Either way, her selected photos are below (you can see the rest in full at our at our slideshow):
