Most of John's tips are spot on. I will add this... most of the best parties require invite passes. In many cases these passes are gone by the end of the first day.I recommend doing your homework and spending the morning of the 1st day collecting your passes.I've also found trade show contests to be worth participating in. It's surprising just how few people don't "waste" time in a contest that requires any significant effort.At an Internet World show my friend and I each scored 7 prizes because the pool of prizes so exceeded the number of participants who completed the contest.
There's really only one thing you need, something John Chow has and most digger's don't and never will. A big-ass tech site that companies fall over themselves to throw hardware at.
ccanni1028 is 100% spot on with the clothing. Wearing a suit and tie, or at the very least a nice shirt and blazer is going to get you way more swag and respect than baggy jeans, a t-shirt and a baseball cap. If you're going to play the part, then you need to dress the part.
OK I just wanted to say if he would try to get stuff from me for free maybe he ended up with a f**k off or move your fat ass bitch or I lose my mind and beat his f**king head with a baseball bat until his f**king brain not smash to the wall...Kinda pesky sometime that maggots like this use the net. I hope it was periodic enough...

@PrinceofSpace... That's because Activision doesn't have anything good.

I think he might have forgotten a big thing. Dress like you have money.
