How Should I get into E3 ?

So I haven’t been to an E3 for two years in a row due to the new policy change . This year I flaked out and didn’t submit a request to go . I don’t think they would have let me in anyways being I am no longer with an "industry" company. So , I am stuck really wanting to go but I’m not sure how im going to get in .

I am looking for input from the community as how I should try to get in the show this year .

Here are my current possible tactics .

Stand outside of the convention center and try to scalp someone’s badge for cash .
Sneak in the back entrance and pose as janitorial E3 staff .
Dress up like a booth babe and test my luck .
Pose as a trade show union worker and sneaky sneak .
Pose as Wombat to get a pass ( I have a similar Jew Beard)
Shave my head as pose as Cheapy .

Any help no matter how outlandish it may seem is appreciated .

Thanks

May I propose a few options?

1. Start up a legit enough game website and get in as press.... or
2. Send the promoters youtube videos of yourself thrusting your pelvis at various game consoles to show your affection for gaming. That'll totally make them think you're cool and they'll send you a pass.

Better yet, run around the streets naked except for a cat helmet. That'll get you in the press.

I was offered a badge this year but didn't have the money to travel down there since I am moving. I should have asked for them to eBay or something...

Oh, I'll be going next year to cover it for CAG. I won't use CAG as the company. My friends told me that people treat you very nicely when the badge says FOX.

Well, there was your problem. I say the your best chance is working at the event from one of the publishers. I wish you good luck. I will be there.

Check on Craigslist for those dates. If you happen to be height challenged or a hot dude then here are a couple of options.

You can still get in if you're willing to pay $450 or whatever the rate is for non-press badges. They were really tough this year about registration; the sneaky-sneak methods people used in the past probably aren't going to work this year...

I could do this but I don’t want to get any of my consoles pregnant . I have a son already and he is a handful

I do this anyways so I might as well do it in LA.

I normally can get a guest pass but I moved from Nor Cal to So Cal so I lost some direct contacts. I wish I new what the badges looked like this year , maybe I could just use an old one .

Im am height challenged but the other way . Im 6'7" so maybe if I pretend im two midgets stacked up it will work . But the second one is a winner . I need to start some major sit up sessions pronto .
