Should Wired get a press pass to Mix?

Hmmm, I haven’t gotten a pass to the now sold out Mix07 just like Fred Vogelstein, writer at Wired, finds himself wanting. But Jeff Sandquist is having a bit of fun asking the community whether or not he should get a free pass.

Speaking of which, I don’t have a pass to Mix07 either. I still am going, though. Instead of going into the conference, though, I’m just going to hang out in the hallway and do some sort of hallway cam like I did last week at the Web 2.0 conference. It’s my little protest against expensive conference passes to hear about something new Microsoft wants me to talk about anyway.

That said, if I end up getting a free pass, should I go inside? I’ll let my readers decide. Personally I think we should put a Ustream.tv camera on Mike Arrington’s head so we can all watch what it’s like to interview Ray Ozzie on stage. Would you watch that? :-)

UPDATE: Loren Heiny doesn’t have a ticket either, but will be hanging out in the hallway. Great, we’re gonna have an unconference live hallway outside the event. It’ll be like the Oscars where the stars get interviewed before they head into the event. Heheh.

    I attended Mix 06 last year and it sucked, so not going this year. Not sure why MSFT is making such a big f….ng deal about not having room for the press, specially Scoble. I would recommend you don’t even attend, or if you do, be sure to capture all the negative energy and unsatisfied attendees like myself in the hallways.
