>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.

I believe he misspelled "if you have a sense of style you don't need this stuff."
