They sold bottle openers at the last con.....and as for the last two, they could be combined.
My suggestion: Blow up doll of Vinyl Vanna

[detok]

the calender idea....

I was thinking that it would be cool for a calendar with a picture from every defcon from 1-10. Seeing as how there are 12 months, you could add 2 pictures in there of something crazy.

(it would be cool to have a picture on the calendar of goons beating the shit out of some kiddie who tried to steal a badge or something)

my 2 cents...

DC emblazoned Zippos, to go along with those ashtrays.

WOW, I can't believe no ones suggested it yet so here I go. DC fannypacks. Heck throw in some blue hair die.

Yeah but REAL zippo's not the taiwanese knockoffs... those suck.
a big DC would be kickass in a raised emblem.

mmm... I love my fanny packs big and black!

ok... how about making vanna actions figures, and vanna's of the past.. etc... though I think McFarlane is busy :(

Another thought, I wonder if BAWLS could send down a representative, and have defcon BAWLS.....:D

Ok these are great ideas! I really don't know about the calenders.....Most people wouldn't buy them cuz by the time Def Con rolls around it's already the middle of the year. I suppose that we could start the calender in August and end it August of the next year. Any thoughts? As for the ashtrays....I've been suggesting that for the last couple of years. Maybe with feedback like this to support my suggestion it'll get done this year. I like the book too. Although, it would take time to compile..... so that may not happen for a while.Let's hear some more ideas!!! This is a great start!

[HyperCityGirl]

DC beer coasters? They could be ceramic with the logo painted on, or metal with the logo engraved.
And for the calender, you could just do a mini desktop version.

Of course they should start and stop in August. Everyone that goes to Defcon already works their calender that way already! If that is the way people are operating we should take care of their needs instead of discriminating against them like all the other calender makers!:D

Evil: the only thing I can think of that would be really really cool would be some of these for our badges, if not by reg than by schwag... the little painted chains were nasty last year

[Grifter]

Damn, that's a sexy motherfucker!

[Evil]

Do you mean the lanyards? Lanyards would be pretty cool, but I saved mine from a couple years ago and I think alot of people did too. I don't think they would sell well. What else do you all want to see? Tell me no matter how silly you think it is!

[Cyb3RSoldi3R]

I'm all for a DC Zippo. NOT A TAIWANEESE ONE EITHER!!! Hell people could do it themselves, all Zippo does is supe glue logo's on anyways (found that out after dropping a few).
