So really, being honest about it, I much prefer to have the swag cost built in. That goes for special tours and dinners as well..<div>
<br></div><div>@LausanneFans the Lausanne T-Shirt was the best conference T-shirt I ever got. It's got this unique soft texture that always gets me a snuggle from my sweetheart when I'm wearing it. Maybe all you Europeans have softer shirts than us?</div>
