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."Surfboard Designers Forum - Hawaii, March 20 -25 2004""Creative Writing Workshop, Costa Rica, 24-28 January 2005""Patisserie Trade Fair, Paris May 2-6 2003"-- hippo, Jan 28 2005 Clip Circles Clip_20Circles [hippo, Jan 29 2005] (??)

"Fabulous Boondoggle - Timbuktu, March 15 - 20th 2004"-- cuckoointherye, Jan 28 2005 I am more jealous of T-shirts (e.g. Pine Harbor Music Festival Orchestra 2003). Aww, I wish I had practiced the piano more.-- phundug, Jan 28 2005 i likes it!-- jonthegeologist, Jan 28 2005 Fifth Annual International Halfcon -----Spring 2005-------London------- Shz, Jan 28 2005 Later, does your email account receive fake SPAM from the vendors you talked to on the fake exhibition floor?-- krelnik, Jan 28 2005 Tea & Scones Halfcon National Gallery, London 21 Dec 2004-- UnaBubba, Jan 29 2005 mmmmmmm butter!-- po, Jan 29 2005 Me gusta!!

Check the link! (Except of course, this HalfCon is real [crazy].)-- k_sra, May 27 2005 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.-- baconbrain, May 27 2005 Nice, [k] - did you ever see the t-shirts st3f designed for the UK HalfCons?-- hippo, May 28 2005 Brilliant !

[+]-- CloakedBeauty, Jul 05 2005 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.-- Kozi4361, Jul 05 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.

I'd look quite inappropriate in the "InterPizza" women's tank top, however.-- jurist, Mar 13 2006 Excellent - someone just walked past my desk wearing what looked like a brand-new "Sapporo Winter Games 1972" sweatshirt.-- hippo, Oct 27 2006 Love it! Just got back from the beer tasters Convention in Stuttgart.-- energy guy, Oct 27 2006 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.-- Jscotty, Oct 27 2006 "It's in the bag" - Testicular Examination Conferance 2006-- Skybird, Oct 28 2006 Evil Twin Conference: 6.6.06-12.6.06-- froglet, Oct 28 2006 Afghani Nudist's Convention, 1st of Ramadan, 2006, Kandahar.-- RayfordSteele, Jul 12 2007 The Socratic Method at The Parthenon, Athens, 420 BCE
