What events have you been to? Just wondering so those of us that go
can brace for the "sour" experiences. ;) I know it's likely not that
black/white of an answer, but figured I'd ask.

Yeah, I used the ones done by Jorge in 2010 and they look really
great. Haiku, Inc. tends to have some professionally made copies on
hand, so I asked to have some sent to me well in advance so I could
have them for OLF.
We should probably make an updated version of the artwork for 2011
(seeing as it's licensed CC BY-NC-SA) showing something like Sintel
instead of Big Buck Bunny in MediaPlayer. Our trend seems to be to
make our flier show off the latest Blender Foundation film. :)

Nope, not really, although in a bind I'll print out the aforementioned
flier on my black/white printer and just accept the fact that it will
eat up a lot of black ink. Maybe we should consider making a
"printer-friendly" version of the flier as well in the future that has
a white background and adjusts the other elements of the graphic
accordingly.
