Maker Faire Bay Area 2008 Ticket Giveaway
As one of the media sponsors of Maker Faire Bay Area 2008, I have a some extra tickets for this weekend’s event, so we’re going to give away a few pairs of tickets via Twitter. I’ll be announcing the ticket giveaway on our Laughing Squid Twitter account, so you’ll need to subscribe to it in order to see the announcements.
If you were one of the winners, please email us your mailing address so we can mail out your tickets. Due to the last minute nature of this, we are only giving away tickets to people who live in the Bay Area. We will need your mailing address by 1pm PDT on Wednesday, April 30th in order to send you your tickets.
If you weren’t a recipient of one of the free tickets, you can always buy your tickets in advance online, which can then be picked up at the Maker Faire Will Call.
Maker Faire Bay Area 2008 takes place this Saturday, May 3rd and Sunday, May 4th at the San Mateo Expo Center. See my previous post for more info.
Round #1: The current time is 6:25pm PDT on Tuesday, April 29th. I’m going to give a pair of one-day Maker Faire tickets to next three people who leave comments on this post. I’ll contact the winners for their mailing address so I can send the tickets via US Mail. Again, please remember that I’m only giving away tickets to people who live in the Bay Area.
** Ok, we have our three winners for Round #1 **

Was there an impartial Twitter-parsing tool involved, such as Quotably (which I first heard about through LaughingSquid)?

Aw, am I too late for a ticket? This is my second attempt (first via Twitter). Agree that it was a good idea to stop using @replies for the give-away.

First! (not)

Even if you don’t get a free ticket, its really worth going. But I would take Caltrain or park outside the fence, the parking fee is kind of a rip off.
Tickets are also available at discounted prices ($5 off per ticket) through May 2nd, 2008 at:
