I shot a road rally for AP once. That press pass stayed on my photo vest and
got me into more events over the next couple of years than I really want to
think about. Now - had I been asked directly if I had a pass for a given
event, I would have said "no" and maybe been SOL. But you see a guy with a
vest, a pass, and a shit-load of gear... well, nobody ever asked.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
