Cast your vote to let Wired writer into Mix07

Evidently I’m not the only one that can’t get into Mix07. Wired reporter Fred Vogelstein wants to go and can’t get in either. Jeff Sandquist is trying to help out, with a twist. He’s asking the Channel9 community to vote on whether Micrososft should let Fred into the conference.

I say of course, let him in.

I don’t understand this whole notion of trying to make Mix07 closed, anyway. You’re telling me there isn’t room for one more? Or a dozen? Or a hundred? You’re telling me that Microsoft can’t work with the Venetian to find a bit more space? Or can’t find a bit more budget to bring in people most interested in its message and joining in on the conversation and amplifying it? I’ve seen in the past where Microsoft’s gone out of its way to be inclusive–PDC 2003 was one such event. It was sold out, plus some, but Microsoft pulled it off. I expect Microsoft could do the same now–if it wanted. Does it?

But, hey, Fred if you can’t get into the conference itself look for the Tablet guy standing in the hallway. That’ll be me. We can have our own un-Mixed, unconference. Some of the most interesting conversations happen in the hallways at conferences anyway. With a UStream.tv feed this could be rather interesting. Anyone else not going to Mix? (Yeah, I know the comments are broken on this blog. It needs to get fixed. Hint, hint Layne :-). In the meantime, I’ll keep watching the referrers if you post elsewhere.)

Update: Looks like the unconference is growing. Robert Scoble hasn’t been able to get a Mix07 pass either. This isn’t stopping him, however, from covering the event. Expect to see Robert in the hallway with his video camera broadcasting live on UStream.tv.
