NHFX Swag

web-nhfx-swag.jpg
Stars and presenters at the Oscars and Emmys get treated like celebrity royalty at backstage parties where “Swag” bags (Stuff We All Get according to www.urbandictionary.com); make the “special” people feel even "more special.” We’re talking high-end Souvenirs Wearables And Gifts (second definition) such as Rolex watches, designer jewelry and the latest in unnecessary high-tech gadgets. Not so at NHFX. Our stoolie on the inside (Grand Juror Gina Carbone/ Spotlight magazine film critic) just picked up her “official” Swag Bag. We’re rolling out the contents right here for all to see.

The bag itself is a simple little Blue Canoe paper tote courtesy of Irving Oil, one of the premier high-roller sponsors of the whole NHFX shebang. Inside is a cool fatigues-green T-Shirt, a nifty blue flip-top liquids bottle (capable of containing hot or cold we assume), a candy jar complete with Blow Pops and bubblegum (that’s fun!), a highfalutin’ “Grand Jury” badge to get you where you need to go in a flash (no lines), and a promo card for something going on with Fox (the movie folks not the TV Network) – but wait, aren’t they one in the same? I don’t know about you, but I want a T-Shirt.

There you have it.

So now I put this question to you — if you were put in charge of Swag Bags at NHFX what would you have tossed inside? Maybe next year, Portsmouth entrepreneur Jon Baily will create a cool Baily "Swag" Bag for NHFX. I'd want in on that.

See you all at the show tonight.
