Prizes, oh the prizes!
I love freebies... I really do. I have the speaker schedule nearly ready to publish (just have to confirm two more speakers - we've got some AWESOME speakers coming) but in the meantime I wanted to talk about the prizes we're giving out at Mix On Campus, because if I weren't working for Microsoft and I was coming along to the event, I'd want to know about the free stuff I can get my mitts on

.
First up, everyone who comes along gets a showbag with a whole bunch of swag in it. On top of that we've got some killer prizes to give away on the day/s. Here's a list of what I've got to give away in each city:
- 1 Xbox 360 (yep, 1 per city, meaning 3 total)
- Project Gotham Racing Hooded Sweats
- Microsoft LifeCam vx-3000's
- A massive jar of jelly beans (yeh, that's right, I'm taking it back to primary school fund-raiser tactics and having a jelly bean guessing competition)
Lottery rules dictate that I'm not allowed to give prizes out randomly, so to win prizes, you have to guess how many jelly beans are in the jar (making it a game of skill). Your register for the day, make your best guess, and the closest guestimate wins the major prizes, and we work our way down from there until the top 5 guesses have a prize.And who can honestly say they wouldn't want a big jar of jelly beans on their desk / coffee table / waistline?
