Bannings: Not as often these days.
A couple of comic book industry figures I communicate with have stated that they've come down with Comicon flu. That has got to suck. It's apparently an every year thing.

I thought maybe this was going to be about the B.O. smell that I've often read is associated with comics conventions.

I thought it was all the free stuff one tends to accumulate at these shows.

I haven't experienced that since the 80's. And that was a con held in a tiny VFW hall.

But I mostly go to indie conventions that smell like clove cigarettes and patchouli.

Stickers, comics, flyers, postcards, pens...things like that that people have out on their tables. And the organizers usually give a bag when you get your ticket that has the program, comics and such in it already.

I've seen the term SWAG before. Didn't know it was an acronym! We get lots of SWAG at library conventions and workshops.

I've always thought of SWAG as nice stuff, that you could actually use. Didn't know it was an acronym, either.
