I love the idea of getting press passes to special events, conferences,
performances, etc. I wonder if there exists a press pass request form that
has been used successfully by other affiliates. I don't know if acquiring a
press pass is difficult because it requires certain credentials, if it is
as simple as sending an email to the event organizer, or if it just depends
on the event and staff... Worth a try!
