Macworld San Francisco 2002

iKlowns Repulsed by Moscone Security

Friday, January 11, 2002

By Senior Editor John H. Farr

Their crime? "Branding without a booth," accorded to Salon's Katharine Mieszkowski. It seems that laid-off dot-commers dressed up as clowns and masquerading as representatives of "Evil Klown Industries LLC" tried to get into Macworld Expo but were turned away.

We think that's a shame. But they did manage to smuggle in some of their "I hub u" buttons, and Mieszkowski reports that people standing in line to register were given special attention:

"Back in line to register with the other Macworld attendees, the clowns started their harassing shtick: 'I'm iKlown, your personal digital companion. Can I follow you around all day?' Flambeau razzed a puzzled conference-goer. Flambeau's official conference badge listed his place of employment as 'Klowns Against Santas.'"

Comments: Now we really wish we had gone to San Francisco. Shoot.
