Well, and being "press" myself, I've learned the benefit of actually registering early, even if it's just for a press pass, because I've gotten shut out a few times because I was late in registering. lol. Now oddly, I didn't register for one this year for the Nokia event because A) enough people are covering it, B) I didn't have the money (T_T) and C) my readers are more interested in what they can put their hands on now, not 6-18 months down the line. Well, at least presently they are.
