Chris Pirillo locks journalists out of Gnomedex

Chris Pirillo and Ponzi told me last night that journalists are begging to be let into Gnomedex now that Senator John Edwards is doing the keynote. They told us that every ticket is a press pass and that they don’t give away free tickets and that journalists are welcome to buy a ticket, but one problem, Gnomedex is sold out. So any other journalists who want to come are gonna be forced to sit in the cove. “What about if Steve Ballmer dropped by?” I asked. He said he wouldn’t get in either unless he found a ticket on eBay somewhere. He did say that some journalists, like Todd Bishop of the Seattle PI, had the good forsight to buy a ticket before they were sold out.

I’m glad Chris is sticking by his guns and treating everyone equally. I know it’s really tough to turn away “big name” journalists.
