Hugh Forrest of the South by Southwest Interactive Festival -- one of the industry's most interesting conferences -- has graciously agreed to give free registration to the first three Politech subscribers who contact him at hughat_private The conference URL is: http://www.sxsw.com/interactive/ That's perhaps a $500 value, according to the conference's registration page. (Hugh had asked me for permission to use my photo of author Bruce Sterling -- http://www.mccullagh.org/image/d30-22/bruce-sterling.html -- to use on the cover of the conference brochure. Bruce is speaking at the event. I agreed to it in exchange for three tickets to Politech subscribers. I know that a bunch of you are students or recently unemployed and might have trouble paying for the conference admission. Please, if you can afford the conference fee, let someone who can't afford it take advantage of this arrangement.) Thanks to Hugh for doing this -- Scientific American made a similar offer for Politech subscribers earlier this year (http://www.politechbot.com/p-03193.html) and it turned out well. Naturally you'll still have to get to Austin in March and find a place to stay on your own. If you're not one of the first three people to email Hugh, you can still sign up here for an early-registration discount: https://secure.sxsw.com/forms/registration/start.php Remember, please do not respond to this message. I have nothing to do with the event.
