Carl and I have been asked to speak at TechEd 2005 in Australia (and possibly New Zealand), and everything was going swimmingly until…

…no money.

Now that I’m a Microsoft employee it’s, ironically, much more difficult to get to various conferences around the planet than it was before.

When Carl and I were asked if we’d consider speaking at TechEd 2005 on the other side of the globe, I was ecstatic. However, things took a bit of a turn for the worse when I learned that there was pretty much no dough to get me there.

That’s all right, I guess. Understandable, anyway.

But I still want to get there, and here’s what I propose.

You: Tech company looking to get some very unique exposure at a large convention for a piddly amount of cash

Me: The guy who will wear a bunny suit during the entire conference (while speaking, too) with your company’s name and logo printed on it. In addition, I’ll hand out pamphlets and push your product like there’s no tomorrow.

Cost: Two round-trip plane tickets to the conference from Portland, OR, USA (one for my girlfriend – you don’t expect me to leave her behind, do you?), and a hotel room. I’ll handle meals and transportation within the city.

If you’re interested, or if you know someone who is, then GET IN CONTACT WITH ME FOR CRYIN’ OUT LOUD.

I mean, I’m practically begging to sell out here.

I’m serious, by the way. I will be your walking billboard in a bunny outfit.

Hire me.
