So I first started out by doing my college apps, but then my laptop battery started to drain. I made my way to the Continental President's Club only to be turned away by the receptionist who told me that I was "too young."

"The age rule of 21 is silly" I said.

"It's not silly. ITS THE LAW!" replied the receptionist.

Jordan from Valleywag suggested that I instead respond, "Do you know who I am? Those rules don't apply to me." HAH! But of course, being the infamous Jessica Mah that I am, I "pulled some strings" and here I am sitting in the President's Lounge enjoying free power for my laptop. Life is good. If only my plane got here on time!

As always, when Jessica Mah is turned away from something, she'll find a way to get in. Look here, here, and here. You know you love me!

Jessica Mah is a 17 year old entrepreneur, blogger, and sophomore in college. She's currently the founder of a startup, managing editor at Startupism.com, and Jessicamah.com. In her free time, she enjoys the prospect of being an underage angel investor while partying like a rock star. (and traveling to random cities and checking into hotels while being underage)

I try not to splurge, but sometimes I have no choice! Take for example SxSW: You guys convinced me to go to the South by Southwest Conference, so I'm going. Few issues:

1) The only flight out that worked for me cost $620. It was only $100 for an upgrade to first class, so I bought it. Some call it splurging but I call it well deserved.

2) Every half decent hotel in Austin is completely booked. What can I say, the only so-so hotel I found was this place called the Four Seasons. Hopefully I'll find myself a successful, sexy, (wealthy) business man while I'm there? I'll dream on.

3) I had to upload a picture of my face to South by Southwest's website in order to claim my badge. I don't have many photos of me on the internet, but I figured I'll show you guys what I have:

Fugley or what? Whatever, it's better than my driver's license photo. Funny enough, this is the first real photo I've shown to you publicly via my blog.

I'll promise to take lots and lots of pictures for you guys! I'll be lonely, so please shower me with visits.

PS - I'm underage so I can't check into the hotel. Their stupid company policy is that I have to be at least 19 years old. Any of you want to help me? I'm offering a reward!

Thanks to everybody who commented and voted on my recent poll: Should I go to the South by Southwest conference or go to school? I'm not a class cutter, but it seems as if SXSW takes preference. I'll meet great people and learn a little of something. As of Tuesday evening, 69% of you told me to go to SXSW, 29% told me to go to school, and 2% told me "other." What other is I can't tell you!

However, I do have an issue. I need cash! The trip is expensive. Airfare will run me $350 and hotel will run me about $400. I've decided that because of all of these trips, it makes sense for me to have sponsors. No, not pesky advertising banners on the side of my blog, but trustworthy sponsors who I can publicly thank for sponsoring Jessica Mah in action. If you have any ideas, please let me know! To whoever gives me a good lead, I'll give you my VIP pass to SF Beta :) And lots of e-kisses and e-hugs!

More to come!
