Geekscape Tech Review: Send GadgetMan to Las Vegas for CES 2017!

Okay, I have been writing on Geekscape for about two months now, and I have done a lot of hands-on reviews. I hope that you have enjoyed them, and I want to take it to the next level.

In about two weeks, there will be a big event in Las Vegas that isn’t just all the usual stuff Vegas does in one night. I am talking about the Consumer Electronics Show, which is happening at the Las Vegas Conference Center, the Venetian Hotel, and many other places in Las Vegas. It officially starts January 5-8, but I am planning on arriving early on the 3rd for media events.

I have been attending CES since 2008, and I don’t want 2017 to be the first year that I have missed it since then. The reason why I want to go is more than just having a blast, but I will say that it is best way for a tech reporter like me to begin the year.

The issue is that practically every product that I have reviewed on Geekscape has been a result of meeting someone at CES, and then contacting later to receive products for review. Early January is always a time for me to be “Leaving Las Vegas” with a huge stack of business cards, and I often don’t receive product from companies for review until the following December. This is why I have been able to give two hands-on reviews per day since November.

So here is the deal. In case you have missed the last paragraph of all my articles, I simply cannot afford the trip and stay in Las Vegas. Therefore, I have started a GoFundMe site called “Send Mark (my real first name) to CES 2017”. I have explained why I need the specific amount that I need to cover a rental car, hotel stay, as well as other needs.

If you think that I am going to take this money and party in Las Vegas, then you really need to get to know me better. In all honesty, the time that I work spend at Las Vegas for CES is the hardest that I work all year.

I am also planning on doing some great stories during and after CES 2017. In addition to covering the latest in gadgets and technology, I will also want to be covering other stories like:

1) Playing Pokemon GO in Las Vegas.

2) How Las Vegas has Embraced Technology, and How Other Cities Should Follow Its Example

3) What Technology to Look for in 2017.

I also like to get to know other reporters there, and I hope to see old friends and meet some new ones.

Now it is time for me to ask for a donation, and I want to know what you want me to write about while I am in Las Vegas. Please donate, and if you don’t, then leave a comment about what you want to hear about at CES 2017.

Let’s just put it this way. Geekscape writers recently gave their Christmas Wish List, and this one is mine. Please help me make it come true.
