SXSW: Bag swag

01:52 PM PT, Mar 8 2008

Bagswag I only chose that title because it rhymes nicely. The fact is that when you check in to get your SXSW badge, they give you a canvas shopping bag filled with more advertising than an old lady could carry home -- pounds of the stuff.  It's the kind of material that in less PC days you wouldn't even bother looking at before you stuffed it in the bottom of the hamster cage.

Surely there're a couple of interesting or useful items in the bag (and the bag itself is great!), but honestly, I've barely had time to keep myself hydrated and nourished, let alone go through enough postcards, magazines and 3D glasses to get to the moon and back five times.

On the other hand, there was a nice pad of paper in there -- thanks Metanotes*!
