Did I miss some discussion about the Beer and Gear surprise? I, personally, feel somewhat cheated that there was no "gear" available from the vendors in attendance.

<rumor> Sponsors were specifically asked _not_ to give out clothing, as the Cisco boxer shorts distributed at NANOG 20 were somehow deemed offensive and discriminatory. </rumor> Don't get me wrong, Beer and Gear was definitely time well spent, I just found the "gear" aspect (assuming that's in reference to freebies, not hardware demonstrated by vendors) a bit lacking. ;) Long live free vendorware. -adam
