Craig,
Can I respectfully ask that you pick a day OTHER than Monday for this
activity, given that the following has been scheduled for several months
already:

The IETF social, is onsite this year, that's on TUESDAY night, so maybe
you could do it then instead?

Most (all?) of us at IETF have had affiliations with companies that are
now defunct, ranging from working for them to simply accepting their
T-shirts at a conference.
In a spirit of fun, I'd like to suggest that on Monday of the Yokohama
IETF you find some piece of attire (hat, shirt, shoes, socks, nightshirt,
temporary tattoo, whatever) with a dead company's logo or slogan on it and
wear it.
As an incentive, I'll round up a couple of judges and at the hotel
bar at the start of the dinner break on Monday we'll give out a few
informal prizes (free beers) to some of the most notable pieces of
attire. By notable, I mean almost anything ranging from ironic
(e.g., if you come from the company most blamed for @Home's
demise and wear an @Home shirt), obscure (e.g., an expensive golf
shirt from a dead company no one's heard of), to just fun (e.g.,
a paper-mache hat made of worthless stock certificates).
See you in Yokohama!
