(This post is from my old, old, super old site. My views have changed over the years, hopefully my writing has improved, and there is now more than a handful of folks reading my site. Enjoy.)

I was going to throw away the bag I got since it was such a piece of crap, but someone else said they would take it. The zipper on "joe"'s bag broke within 5 minutes.
Maybe it's Moscone's fault? I've heard that when it's all said and done, it cost $5 to roll out a single can of soda to an attendee.
