Poor startup marketer looking for free affiliate summit ticket

More power to blogs and giveaways - i'd love to attend the 2008 Affiliate Summit West but $1,500 is just too much for our Marketing budget. So the friendly folks at John Cow (I love the slogan "making mooney online" by the way) are giving away one for free. So why should I win - well, because I just blogged about this, can't spend the money, love Vegas and would learn a lot (and have some fun).
Yes, this does sound like a shameless payperpost but it isn't. It's the magic of incentives at work joined up with the buzzword of this era- user generated content!
