As everyone who has ever been to an
academic or business conference knows,
you get a bag with the name of the
conference on. This idea is for a range of
fake conference bags to pique people's
interest or suggest you've been on a fab
boondoggle.

I am more jealous of T-shirts (e.g. Pine Harbor Music Festival Orchestra 2003). Aww, I wish I had practiced the piano more. |

Later, does your email account receive fake SPAM from the vendors you talked to on the fake exhibition floor? |

I get the feeling that I missed something really good in December. |

[wagster] You missed the crop circles
UnaBubba had bleached into his hair,
thus cleverly baking his own "Clip
Circles" idea (see link). |
|
| |
mind you,if it were a kid at my school I would have sent him to the doctor at the very least, to see if he were infectious. |
|
| |
And that's another bun for Clip Circles! |
|
| |
Dude, I just made some of these! Check the link! (Except of course, this HalfCon is real [crazy].) |

My soft briefcase is a bag I got from my sister--I don't know how she got it--Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights, Election Observation Mission.
I think it's fab, but in my current line of work I sometimes meet people who know what the OSCE logo stands for, and I have to pretend that I do too. |
|
| |
Nice, [k] - did you ever see the t-shirts
st3f designed for the UK HalfCons? |

Brilliant ! ([neilp] places an order for "Time Travelling - a thing of the past? Seattle, 10th April 2009") |

/"Time Travelling - a thing of the past? Seattle, 10th April 2009"/ That would make a very nice present. |
|

I just saw someone on the tube with a
surprisingly new-looking "Fiji Tropical
Surf Team 1964" bag... |
|
| |
Like turning up to a district attorneys' drug conference with a bag full of drugs? |

"National Convention of Fake
Conference Bag Producers, Wigwig
2005." |
|
| |
Well I've definitely gone off the idea of stalking k_sra now that I've seen how expensive it is. |
|
| |
Yes, it's costly, [Dr.Bob], but it's worth it for the ones you love. ; ) |
|
| |
What do you do if you accidentilly have a fake bag with a name of a very very little known conference that your boss went to without you? [+] |
|
| |
Well then, you explain to your boss how someone had spiked the water and that's why he/she doesn't remember you, then scold them for not picking up one of the bags. |

Intergalactic Treaty and Monkey Infestation Conference - Roswell, July 10-17 2005. |

I like the idea of the 'Fiji Surf team' bag. A series of conference bags for conferences that were held before conference bags were invented.
Can we start with a bag for the 'Congress of Berlin, 1878' complete with profiles of Bismarck, Disraeli et al? It would bring a real highbrow caché to the conference bag world and make people think that you were a knowledgeable history geek, although you'd secretly know that you weren't, even though you know about things like the Congress of Berlin 1878. Umm... |

Great T-shirts, [Hippo].(see cafepress link) I'm more than a little tempted to buy both the "Conference du Monde de Patisserrie" and "Time Travel Ethics and Procedures Seminar" models. I'd look quite inappropriate in the "InterPizza" women's tank top, however. |
|
| |
Excellent - someone just walked past my desk wearing what looked like a brand-new "Sapporo Winter Games 1972" sweatshirt. |
|
| |
Love it! Just got back from the beer tasters Convention in Stuttgart. |
|
| |
BUN! I actually do this myself. I buy plain white or blue tote bags and then I get that inkjet iron-on transfer paper. I also create fake "back stage" passes that I wear around my neck so when a big name singer comes to town I proudly wear my badge everywhere I go. |
