Tips on getting into MacWorld free, from a friend...
Go to Exhibitor Registration, south hall lobby. Walk up to a computer there. Pick Adobe from the pop-up list. Enter zip code 95114 (pick up a show guide if this combo doesn't work, try some other exhibitor, big ones are more likely to have leftover passes). Click "add booth personnel". Put in your name and info, pick state and country, "staying locally", then go to next step... it'll print a badge at the counter, you may need photo ID to pick it up. Cover up the Adobe part afterwards, possibly edit it as you enter, to avoid causing confusion. I support Mac.
I am posting this tip for activists who cannot afford entry but need tech.

# San Francisco Gathering for Direct Action to Stop the War
DASW 2004 ASSEMBLY Saturday, January 10, 2004 11am-5pm
St. Boniface Church 133 Golden Gate San Francisco, CA
Food Provided (Please come on time and stay for the afternoon)
On January 10, 11am-5pm at St Boniface Church DASW is hosting an assembly to
take stock of the past year’s actions, get reacquainted with one another,
strengthen our network and sculpt plans of action for 2004. Come and share
your vision and ideas with other bay area activists.
In 2003 DASW brought together many of us, our organizations and affinity
groups in the strongest creative direct action resistance against the
invasion of Iraq within the US. When the US invaded, 20,000 of us shutdown
the San Francisco Financial District.
As the invasion continued and became an occupation, DASW coordinated actions
linking corporate power and profit, the Bush Administration’s empire
building policies, and the “war at home” impact on our local communities. Bechtel,
ChevronTexaco, SSA, APL, Autonomy Corporation, Carlyle Group, and the
Pacific Stock Exchange were among our targets.
During these actions we established continuing relationships with community
groups like PUEBLO (People United for a Better Oakland), ILWU local 10,
Communities for a Better Environment, West County Toxics, and the Richmond
Greens. We have also networked with groups nationally and internationally
against the WTO and FTAA at the recent protests in Cancun and Miami.
We believe that DASW has a key role to play in 2004, and we need you to join
us. Let’s think proactively and consider longer term plans that break out of
the action-to-action cycle. Gather up your friends and affinity groups and
start thinking about ideas and proposals to share at the Assembly. Together
we can strengthen our networks, organizations and create a remarkable
resistance. Contact: daswmeetings [at] riseup.net
