I’d like free tickets to Twiistup 5 because I want to give them away for more Twitter followers. (I won't be anywhere near Los Angeles on Feb 12th) =)

I’d like free tickets to Twiistup 5 because I am a homeless man living on the streets of LA for 7 years, carrying around an old Apple PowerBook - my pride and joy. I manage to steal some wifi from time to time, but mostly I spend my time caressing my PowerBook. These tickets will help me greatly to be come President of the United States one day. It shall be an epic tale from rags to riches.
Thank you.

“I’d like free tickets to Twiistup 5 because…” I need to get out more. Starting a new podcast is draining...

Tommy · 10 months ago

I’d like free tickets to Twiistup 5 because every time I go to a tech event in LA I get more motivated and inspired. This is what help keeps me going in time of doubt, frustration and the economy.

danny wright · 10 months ago

I'd like free tickets to Twiistup 5 because...I'll need to find a job to pay off the credit card debt I'm about to go into to get to Twisstup 5! Oh & pay for my Jamba Juices/Fred Segal/GOA nightclub bad habits. Oh, and I'll need a star map--luv star maps. So holla @me!

Brian Meert · 10 months ago

I’d like to win free tickets to Twiistup because many years from now, as I'm watching the sunset from a hammock on my own private island, sipping hot chocolate with my family as the faint sounds of waves overwhelm any previous thoughts of once mindlessly slaving away in a back office cubicle. And at the exact moment the sun finally fades into the horizon, I will stop, ponder the good things in my life and say that it all started.... with this comment on Mashable.

Rayson Esquejo · 10 months ago

I’d like free tickets to Twiistup 5 because I'm starting a a social media tech company (I'm a start-up too) and I've always wanted to go to this since I live in Los Angeles. I'm a recent college grad and now even more so I can't find a job to pay for this event, and that is why I'm trying to start this company. An event like this would be super awesome to attend because it's right up the all of what I want and too keep up with all the big wigs in this industry me and my team have to be in the forefront of the game. And this would be sooo much better than having me and my team sit at bookstores try to read book about it =D

Morgan · 10 months ago

I'd like a free ticket to Twiistup because I've recently relocated to southern California from SF and have been missing the networking and friendships that developed from all of the SF events that I was able to attend. I'd love to meet the LA tech community and get involved again now that I'm a SoCal resident.

btw.... my last post had a plethora of grammer errors ... here's my attempt to type again....:

Jordan Blakley · 10 months ago

I'd like free tickets to Twiistup 5 because I love it when people talk nerdy to me! Honestly, I would love to be able to attend this event as I am a young PR professional and believe, very strongly, that Social Media is the future of the industry I am so enveloped by. I want to be one of many leaders in the next generation of PR and Marketing!

Victor Hernandez · 10 months ago

I'd like free tickets to Twiistup 5 because I'm currently developing my own website that I believe has the potential of being shown at a Twiistup event in the future. And being at the event and experiencing it live will help me understand and prepare myself for such an opportunity. Not only that but I would like to attend the event and I don't have the funds to buy tickets.

Jordan Blakley · 10 months ago

My comment didn't link to my mashable picture. So, I am trying it again. I apologize for the duplicity.

Laurel Burton · 10 months ago

I’d like free tickets to Twiistup 5 because what says down home fun, more than social media networking in the sun! It's cold up here in my snowy mountain town, and I need to get out before I feel down. I'm stuck under the inversion, and have been seeking conversions. So help me out with a little inspiration, from another part of the nation that isn't haition.

Now what could be better to inspire me in this economic downfall than a trip to a town with no snowfall? And when the nightfalls I'll be prepared to document this historic event with correlating pitfalls. Whether it blogg-ing, twitter-ing, flickr-ing or YouTube-ing. Your decision couldn't be more obvious-ing.

Eric King · 10 months ago

I’d like free tickets to Twiistup 5 because then I could brag about it to my coworkers and try to make myself sound more awesome than I really am. I don't know much about the event, but I see it "twists" technology, media, and entertainment together; all things I enjoy, along with polar bears and libraries. Therefore, I am the clear choice.

Steve · 10 months ago

I'd like free tickets to Twiistup 5 because I don't flake.

Liam Johnson · 10 months ago

I’d like free tickets to Twiistup 5 because im still pretty new to town, and an event like that is an awesome Networking opportunity that only happens maybe 2 or 3 times a year.

Francis Specker · 10 months ago

I'd like free tickets because I'm live near Los Angeles, work in the media and entertainment business and would like to collaborate on projects that deal with technology.

Jim · 10 months ago

I’d like free tickets to Twiistup 5 because I'm too cheap to pay for my own tickets.

Kelly Sutton · 10 months ago

I’d like free tickets to Twiistup 5 because I am but a lowly, poor student. The world usually lends students a helping hand, but not the gods of Twiistup.

While I could drop the $75 to attend, I would much rather feed myself for a week.

Tracy · 10 months ago

I'd like free tickets to Twiisup 5 because there is no way in hell that I'll win them. I never win anything and as I don't have the money to buy the tickets! So of course, I won't win them!

I'd like free tickets to Twiistup 5 because I am the service manager for a new independent apple store and am looking for new and interesting tech to partner with and offer to our clients. Plus there's Kogi...which automatically makes this the greatest of all the tech conventions ever.

Miguel · 10 months ago

I’d like free tickets to Twiistup 5 because I am from a third world country. (seriously)

Mark Gibbs · 10 months ago

I'd like free tickets 'cause I write for Network World (http://www.networkworld.com/community/user/96) and this sounds like the kind of thing I cover ... and I'm a freelance so given that and Tough Times (tm) I think it unlikely NW is going to put their corporate hand in their corporate pocket ...

Michael · 10 months ago

I’d like free tickets to Twiistup 5 because, if all goes well, it will change my life. The opportunity to hopefully create the right connection with the right person that may be a funder, a mentor, a partner or a friend.
Thanks for sharing!

John · 10 months ago

It would be an eye opening experience to exchange and synthesize ideas with the creative minds working on the bleeding edge of social networking applications. I'd love to opportunity to mingle and network with others that share the same passion for creating innovative web applications. Unfortunately I've turned down past opportunities to attend similar events due to schedule constraints but I'd make the time for such an experience and free tickets would sure be an incentive!

Forgot to add, if anyone would like to chat about web development or anything of the sort, feel free to IM me.

I’d like free tickets to Twiistup 5 because… my 2 co-founders are going and didnt buy me tickets because they forgot that I existed :(

Gipson Bachman · 10 months ago

To preface: I figure humor can't hurt the selection process ;)

I’d like free tickets to Twiistup 5 because...in today's age rock stars have been replaced with dev teams and Chris Brogan. Reward a true SM groupie and give a girl the chance to canoodle with Chris DeWolfe (re: Paris, Sundance) just like the golden-curled Hudson. Remember, we all want to be almost famous...and this just might be my chance to get that backstage pass and meet Calacanis, iJustine and your very own Hartline.

Personal background: LA native, online PR/marketing specialist

ellis · 10 months ago

Jim · 10 months ago

I’d like free tickets to Twiisup 5 because I've spent every last penny I have on my start-up and I don't have any money left.

Amani · 10 months ago

I’d like free tickets to Twiistup 5 because I am a diehard Detroit Lions fan and we have never won anything in my lifetime (especially this year) and to just get that brief five minute feeling of ecstasy something would make my entire year and perhaps my decade.

joanned · 10 months ago

I’d like free tickets to Twiistup 5 because i am cool.

Clinton Schaff · 10 months ago

I’d like free tickets to Twiistup 5 because.... I applied unsuccessfully to be a show-off company at the event. Since I already paid the fee to apply, I'm not inclined to double dip pay now to attend. I still wanna feel that Twiistup love!

Jonas · 10 months ago

I'd like free tickets to Twiistup 5 because... I want to write "I won free tickets to Twiistup 5 and all I got was this lousy name tag" on my name tag.

Craig · 10 months ago

Winning tickets to Twiistup 5 would be a "dream come true" for me. I have waited for an event like this my whole life. Please pick me...

Eric Wu · 10 months ago

I'd like free tickets to Twiisup 5 because I am the Arizona Cardinals of Startups. Notoriously cheap, extremely bad at running, and having the ride of my life.

Rayson Esquejo · 10 months ago

I’d like free tickets to Twiistup 5 because… I check this thing every day and really want to go... seriously my start would really benefit from going!!!! all this waiting is making me anxious =D
