I'm the one who decided not to have tee shirts in Atlanta.  I was 
merchandise chair that year.  An unscientific poll the year before
indicated that people had drawers full of tee shirts and wanted something
different for a change, so we sold sweatshirts in Atlanta (yeah, I know -
"sweatshirts in Atlanta in August?" - but these are souvenirs, remember?).
I actually wanted to do polo shirts, but that's another story.

In any case, we discovered that tee shirts at SIGGRAPH is a religious
issue, and that if tee shirts are not sold, a significant number of
people get so upset they start throwing tantrums, calling people bozos,
etc. (say it ain't so, Joe! :-)
