Bitfoundation should open a crowd funding for a Booth there, I would donate some to make it happen.

What I was thinking was to Open the Crowd Funding to do Simple Random Act of Kindness Booth. (No Foundation, No Political Connections what so ever type)  I'm sure there are many opinions about the Bitcoin Foundation's direction to red list the bitcoins but Simply NOT GET INVOLVED on any of that, Just the Happy Give Away Day.  Nothing in Return. (Pure Positiveness for the Bitcoin)

Generic Bitcoin Banner at the nice space, then Simply give away small fraction of Bitcoin Wallet ($5-$10 USD) and free Bitcoin T-Shirt

Minimal Commercial Affiliation.  May be a small logos on the Bitcoin Wallet and back-side of the free give away t-shirt.  On the TV Monitor Display, simply play the Bitcoin Video from Bitcoin.Org.

this way, Just a Positive Day rather than selling anything at the booth!

To Secure the floor space, time is running out as it is less than 2 months away.  What do you think? 15 Bitcoins or so to secure the nice floor space and another 10 Bitcoins or so to make lots of Bitcoin Wallets and several hundreds of free T-Shirt.

Just created the new Wallet just for this purpose.  If the donation was not enough to secure the floor space, I may piggy back with others to join the exhibitor and give away the BTC Wallets or Carry it over to the next Tech Related Large Conference and do the give away there

Good excuse to go to vegas

Personally I don't care much for Vegas as I've been there many times.  If there is enough support and donations, I rather invite volunteers from the forum to go there and staff the floor with expense paid by the donation. Placing 2 people in the hotel rooms for 3 nights can't be too bad compare to other cities in the US.  6 people to run the floor.  Local labor to setup the booth/floor space before and after the show.  I'm sure there are enough forum members from Los Angeles, Arizona, Nevada and Utah area to join if we could cover their pre-diem and reasonable travel expenses to be covered.

BYOB (Bring Your Own Bitcoin for Gamble...)

It's time for the positive exposure!  

In a long run, we could all benefit from higher bitcoin exchange values

Wow, BTC @ MtGox is over $1,000 USD

even without the random act of kindness, the price is shot to the moon

The foundation should clean up the mess they have done the last few weeks before asking for donations again.

BitPay has been running the Bitcoin booth at CES since 2012, so this will be the 3rd year.  Tony Gallippi will be speaking on stage at CES this year about Bitcoin.

I'll be there this year again. I stopped by last year and talked with Tony as well as Josh from BFL for a little bit.
