Statements / Summary

:mag: The bag is about 25L capacity.
:mag: The bag is just an open-top reusable grocery bag.
:mag: We're talking recently about maybe buying nicer things -- presentation clickers, microphones.
:heart: Purchase should reflect social value (ie. MEC + Patagonia > Amazon).
:mag: Social value purchases cost more.
:heart: Wheeled bags help accessibility.
:heart: Shoulder straps help bikers.
:mag: Straps and wheels together are harder to find.
:bulb: Can solicit donated bag at hacknight before buying.
:bulb: Can potentially use a folding hand-truck to add wheels to any bag..

:heart: I feel that our swag bag probably contains extra things right now, and would benefit from cleaning/organizing.

I honestly just don't want to be seen walking around with a camo print duffel bag. Can we at least go for basic black? Or a nice classic grey.
