Another obnoxious thing I noticed this year is how aggressive the booth bunnies were at giving out literature.
There were some aisles that when you went down them it felt like you were walking down the strip with all the hawkers wanting to put ads for horizontal refreshment in your hand. And it worked much the same way, if you took one, the rest of the flock would immediately pounce.
They were also straying well away from the booths. More than once I saw people getting pounced while trying to make a phone call from the back side of the floor, etc.
I'll go to the web to get my literature, with me it's very rare that anything larger than a business card makes it back to the room.
