Some rules:
(1) Leave your Twitter handle in the comments, along with a unique raffle number (of your choosing).
(2) If you win and accept the ticket you promise that you will make a good faith effort to attend (we might disqualify you from future raffles, if you don't show).
(3) If you win, you promise to reciprocate the free ticket love from NYeC by Tweeting before/during/after the conference with your thoughts and reflections (though you are entirely free to Tweet whatever you want).
