Snowjam Media Pass - THe Wrong thing to do!

Karma: 745
Now that Molson Canadian Snowjam is in full swing, I have noticed many people talking about media passes, and how to get them, and pretend you work as a 'reporter' for NS.com.
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY! Please don't call the Snowjam Organizors and tell them you work for NS unless you really do - or are prepared to PROVE it, and actually write an article for NS. You need to make it worth their while. Make a cool video and post it - get Kamikaze to put it in the media section, make it justifyable. Why? Cause the organizers are calling me and asking who these people are - and why they gave them passes to VAN. and nothing came of it. They come on the site and check, and when all they see is people asking how to schmooze organizors, and how to get a free pass so they can just 'hang out...' is pretty bad. - We don't want to look like asses, and when a website name is used, the SJ employees check it out, and when they see they gave passes, and nothing came of it - they get pretty frustrated. SJ people are willing to help, and want all the publicity they can get, but just make sure to actually do something for your free pass if you take that route.

Well in defence to this...I am in the middle of finishing upa video , and I took the time to shoot it with grant gunderson a highly none photogrpaher. For him it obviously takes time for him to process his photos so molson has no right to complain. I went to do upa video, yet I nearly lost my video becase I had not enough space for the snow jam footage. As soon as I finish which was last night and once i put my other hard drive in form old comp on my new comp then I can do our video. And well the writer is on vacation. So if you wanna come buy me a new computer to do ns stuff on then hey I can have it the next morning for you. Sorry right now my number 1 priority is to finsh in the haze and I really want to do the SJ video but its not possible today or for about 2 more days, unless i delete part of in the haze of my comp
This is the truth so I apologize if this has caused problems.

easy dude...did I point any fingers? heres the e-mail I got from Molson....
sorry - this one has to be quick. I need to know how to get a hold of the
main guy at newschoolers today or tomorrow. There is someone that claimed to
be from newschoolers in Van but they didn't post any coverage... now I have
another guy that is claiming to be from there and I was on-site and I saw a
forum where the same guy was asking people how he could get a media pass
just to hang out and stuff. I need to get to the bottom of this today or
tomorrow (for sure)
Let me know - thanks!!
