We were lucky enough to get a platinum pass for SXSW which includes 3 bags of shwag for interactive, film and music. Each one of these had so much stuff that we really didn’t know what to do with it. Here’s a few suggestions.
DeRon on Mar 11th 2008 at 5:50 pmwhat is shwag??? I know what SWAG is but never heard of shwag..but cool video anyway lol
adam jackson on Mar 11th 2008 at 5:50 pmDeRon, sorry buddy but both you and Justine are correct:

The term schwag refers to all manner of logoed stuff given away by companies to get people to remember them, feel good about them, have their phone number and website at hand and generally make them think about them before any of their competitors. And studies show…. it works!! (see why buy schwag)
The original spelling is “swag” (for Stuff We All Get). A little web research has revealed that there is definitely a widespread use of the term, but no real consensus on the “correct” spelling. One site explained “schwag is what the coolest of the cool people say” and another site indicated it’s “called schwag if the item is particularly good.”
Other names for Schwag: tchotchkes,knickknacks, trinkets and trash, gack, promotional products
Mostly Lisa on Mar 12th 2008 at 5:50 pmschwag looks good on you. may i suggest a large “trinkets and trash” hat to go with your schwag bag dress. *gack*
BradyDale on Mar 12th 2008 at 5:50 pmI developed a fear of unneeded paper when I applied to college. I don’t think I could go to SXSW if you have to get all that junk.
The worst thing are the lanyards. Is that what they are called? Does anyone want a lanyard? I do not want a lanyard, I can tell you that.
The lesson here for all us new media type is that medium of the conference bag is plaaaaayed.
chuck steneck on Mar 12th 2008 at 5:50 pmHiya Justine,

moto62_isagirl on Mar 12th 2008 at 5:50 pmi’d say i like #3 the best. his performance was so real, so raw. i really felt that he was the character. uhm, who was he portraying again?
Adrian on Mar 12th 2008 at 5:50 pmSchwag always makes great hats!
ijustine on Mar 12th 2008 at 5:50 pmThanks for the spelling research Adam
I’ve spelled it many different ways before.
lukeb3000 on Mar 12th 2008 at 5:50 pmi’d be interested in taking a little schwag off of your hands, i mean it is 2008 and everyone should be recycling right ?
BrettW on Mar 12th 2008 at 5:50 pmjust got home and took a nice schwag-free bath. our villa crew rocked…
tyfn on Mar 14th 2008 at 5:50 pmAwesome vid. I think next time you should take your schwag on a trip, like to Starbucks or for treats.
Edgar Jensen on Mar 14th 2008 at 5:50 pmThis one is very funny. I always thought that schwag was bottom of the barrel beer like colt45 an other 40oz malt liquors. Two buck chuck.
