Any use that plays off, and thus introduces a potential for confusion with, official SXSW sites risks running afoul of trademark law. The bottom of every sxsw.com page reads:

"SXSW" and "South By Southwest" are registered trademarks of SXSW Inc. Any unauthorized use of these names, or variations of these names, is a violation of state, federal and international trademark laws.
