Yeah, just to clarify what Benjamin said, the actual swag doesn't come with your bill. You get an invoice that indicates what swag you've got coming. This, by the way, is your chance to change your mind about items, adjust size requests, and that sort of thing.

The tree sapling pushing up through human-made squallor is a classic photo theme. Nat Lamp once ran a parody of the Sierra Club newsletter - "the Secaucas Club" - with a twist on that photo to hearten lovers of "the technology", a chunk of concrete lying in a meadow.

What about a car-tree fusion. This is the first thing I found when I scrolled the Russian words for 'car' and 'tree' into google. Maybe we can find a tree of cars later. (scroll down a little)

funny tree/car story: when I lived in PGH, we use to go hiking in the city parks all the time. Well, one day we started off on a hike and kept seeing cars in the woods--the deeper in we hiked, the older the cars until we actually found, I kid you not, a model t ford with trees growing out of it. didn't have a camera.

D, Ike wasn''t there, and I looked all over the place for you. Didn't you say you'd be wearing a "Stingy D" shirt? Well, I looked at guys' shirt-fronts until I was afraid that I'd be risking a beer in the face, to no avail.

oh... yea someone told me actually that my sweatshirt was obstructing the t shirt too much. i just wanted to give everyone a hard time. the shirt just said "stingy" and had a big face on it. i was also wearing a bright yellow hoodie. and got there at 12 something

We may have missed each other, then. I split fairly promptly after the show ended, and I think I'd have noticed a bright yellow hoodie, as I was wearing bright yellow too (tee shirt under dark blue blazer).
