>Val posted a few month back about Foxteach have less frills than the big devcons. Is this the same for Whilfest? For example val said there were no expensive trip out to an amusement park, no conference bag, no t-shirt... his rational was that if you go to a lot of conferences you don't need this stuff.

We don't need an amusement park in Milwaukee. What could be more entertaining than being in Milwaukee in October?

Do we need t-shirts? My wife could whip something up and have them ready for Whilfest.
