[Eug-lug] UG News--Going to OSCON?

[Marsee Henon]

HI Ben

Thanks for your feedback. I'm sorry you found the
T-shirt thing shameless.

But it was fun for us and the people who brought
their shirts. Even Tim brought several of his classics
including this one from an early OSCON:

One thing we've noticed over the years is that we always see many of
our T-shirts, conference bags, or other vintage O'Reilly giveaways at  
our shows.
All we did this year was document them.
