My impression of the beer-n-gear is that it was just like all the other ones - e.g. Juniper, Cisco, etc showed off their latest heavy iron and there was free finger food & beer.
If you came to NANOG expecting to return home with a suitcase stuffed full of free frisbees, t-shirts and key chains - might I suggest that you attend a gift industry conference next time?

FWIW, there has been a huge decline in the amount of swag generally since the market meltdown. The difference between, say, last year's COMNET and this year's is two shopping bags versus one t-shirt and a few pens. (My son loves this kind of stuff.) -- Regards Marshall Eubanks T.M.
