    Arrow Dude, Where's My Swag?

    I came to a sudden realization the other day: I'm running out of clothes. For the past few years I've been living off of t-shirts and golf shirts which have either been branded by Audioholics or one of the many manufacturers we interact with from time to time.I've got t-shirts from DVIGear, RBH Sound, SVS, Radiient, Universal Remote and AppleJazz. Heck, I even have one from the best barbecue joints in Central Florida - Happy Jacks BBQ. I have golf shirts from American Power Conversion (APC), Denon, and Audyssey. But it's been over a year since I've gotten anything new.

    Clint - so true, so true. In my dealings with SVS, I've gotten three t-shirts and a hat. I wear those shirts all of the time. Why? First, they are actually darn nice t-shirts. Thick, comfortable, and with a nice looking logo. Second, being less than a year old, they are some of the best t-shirts that I have (so I'm right there with you, Mr. Fashion Guru DeBoer). They get advertised all over the surrounding neighborhoods as I walk my dog.

    If only I could convince Lexus of the value in having me advertise their cars as I drive two hours to and from work each day...
    Mains and Surrounds: NHT 1.5s, Center: NHT AudioCenter-1, Subs: SVS PC13-Ultra, SB13-Ultra, Receiver: Pioneer Elite VSX-23, Amps: Emotiva RPA-1, POS-1, Display: Panasonic TC-P50G10

    For some reason, Ive always kind of felt the need NOT to be a walking billboard. Its kind of like those people who put stickers on their cars to show what kind of stereo they have or add on "supercharged" badges Or the guys with a gigantic steinlager logo on the back window of their truck.

    It's a sign of the bad times.

    I have also noticed this trend for the past couple years in my field too.

    Vendors and distributors used to always have a cap, shirt, pen, or pencil to hand out.

    Now, nothing except a business card if they visit at all.

    BTW: Isn't that spelled Schwag?
    A 'phile and his money are soon parted.

    Swag is gear companies hand out and Schwag is a slang term for crappy weed.

    Sorry, couldn't think of anything better. Maybe someone else can do a good one.
