We have 16 chocoholics at our place for thanksgiving . No chocolate will be wasted in the consumption of this cake . <| sep |> Usually if you ' re not working for a magazinenewspaper or something related , you won ' t be able to bring your equipment into the venue . At least that ' s what I usually hear . It ' s really not that easy , especially since these days everyone with a DSLR can call themselves a photographer . Do you know any local newspaper that might be interested in giving you an assignment for the show ? You can contact their management , but honestly if you ' re just a fan with a camera , I wouldn ' t have any high hopes . Your best bet is something ' official ' like a newspaper and if they agree , let them get you a photo pass .
