Sometimes, you just have to say, it's worth a fucking shot. So, with that, I need you, corporate America, to fund a little travel for your friend at Hee-Haw Marketing. My friend, Noah Kagan, has put together a fine showcase of blogger-ific humans to speak at the coolest conference to happen ever in the history of the planet earth. Community Next includes such speaking luminaries as Guy Kawasaki, the boys from Threadless, fellow Dallasite Jake McKee, founder of Fark Drew Curtis, and other webebrities discussing the in and outs of everything social media.
With your help, I can be there, too. I can even lead a Sunday brunch.
So, all I need is a grand. Not so bad, right? But what's in it for you?
First, you'll be the first and only ever official advertiser of Hee-Haw Marketing. That's worth at least millions of dollars already, but I won't stop there.
(2) You also get a post to use as your forum for whatever you'd like to say.
(3) The picture in the upper left will be changed to me wearing a "you-branded" t-shirt.
(4) For the next year, my business card will say on the back "Paul loves 'Your Company' the most."
(5) During the entire conference, I promise to wear your logo in three places of your choosing.
(6) Each post in the month of February will be linked to a page of your choosing.
(7) You get to give me money. And, because of that, my marketing expertise will be likely to make you money, too. See, we all win.
Ok, that's all I've thought of so far, but I'm sure the rest of you can think up some fun stuff I can give away to the sponsor. So, what else?
Oh, yeah, Community Next is on Feb. 10, so time is short...
Damn Dude. I may just pay for you myself. Keep me in the loop....
Smooches,
Noah

The eternal question: How much?
Be advised that Liftport is not rich - my wife's store could outbid us. But the coolth factor would be undeniable.

What can I get for ten dollars?

If i had the money I would do it in a second. But I only have $23 to my name.
Tell ya what, I'll give you all the verbal support you can stand and you can tell Guy about Drizz and to email me.

I'll contribute $10 to the cause. It'll be good to finally meet you in person.

I think I'll wear a shirt that says, "I'm Noah's biggest fan." Then I'll score brownie points with you both.
C'mon, Brian, I gotta get my hands on some of that liftport money, damnit. :)
Cam- I think you'll get to be on a podcast with me...
Jaynie- BAMcast, my dear?
JC- Then we'll be millionaires!

How much will it cost for a SoC tattoo? You can choose where to put it ;)

Can you score a press pass through MAJ? Or will they give you a deep discount becuz of that e-zine? You've likely already tried that angle--but may be worth a shot. Good luck, homey.
