Title: I\'m going to E3 this May!!!
Post by: Aaron on February 23, 2001, 07:35:55 PM
I spoke with the representive from E3 today, and she informed me that my press application has been accepted to this May\'s E3. They e-mailed me confirmation today, so I am good to go! Thanks to Bjorn and another site that I write for I will be attending as a member of the press. Booth babes, free stuff, and parties, Hooray!

I\'ll be sending pictures daily. They\'ve got an entire press room set up so you can send stuff right from the place. I should be able to play the X-box, and hopefully the Gamecube, and a finished Gran Turismo3 too, so it\'ll be better than the normal E3 hopefully!

Ill be there :)

But not as a member of the press, which is the best for the amount of stuff you see there.

Just exibits and keynotes for me :)

I really want to go, but I know my wife wouldn\'t be too happy if I did

I was going to ask Bjorn to vouch for me as well, but no way it will happen for me without consequences

It\'s really tough to get in as online media. I actually went as a freelance journalist, but even then you have to fax them some of your work, and they will review the sites you write for. That is why it took two sites for me to get in there.

Yep, except for established sites that is.  I\'ll be there, despite lame finals the following week.

How did you start writing for web-sites? I\'m going to school to be a writer and my dean was just telling me that if I could get hooked up doing that it would be really good for my resume.

There\'s always some new website that needs writers, and I\'m sure if you just email a bunch they\'ll let you write as long as you don\'t mind getting paid. They\'ll usually throw out a bone but you shouldn\'t have no trouble finding someone to leet you write for them

Pretty much what Ddaryl said Lucas, start writing and send your stuff out. If you write enough your style will improve and other placed may become interested. If nothing else, it is a good hobby.
