A lot of paper, an orange sock from Adobe and some sort of giant camera bag.
Also, some Internet superstar trading cards.
These are just a few of the things you’ll find in the South by Southwest Interactive schwag bag.

Linsey -- I just double-checked. It's a blue camera bag.
Christian -- you didn't get a Macbook in your schwag bag? You should go make sure they didn't leave yours out.

Omar, its not a giant camera bag -- pretty sure its their take on a koozie (or huggie for your truly southern readers)
