# There’s no such thing as a free… Wait. Shoot. Free WebVisions and a free lunch?

We’re getting awfully close to [WebVisions](http://webvisionsevent.com/ "WebVisions"), the premier Web conference that has graced Portland, Oregon, for nearly a decade by bringing incredible Web thinkers, designers, and developers to discuss their craft. It’s such an amazing show, I can’t imagine not paying for it.

But that’s me. I’m not lucky like these folks: the winners of the [Silicon Florist WebVisions raffle](http://siliconflorist.com/2009/05/05/pay-webvisions-cool-free/ "Silicon Florist WebVisions raffle").

1. **Chad Broadus** was the big winner with a free pass to the [Indi Young Workshop](http://webvisionsevent.com/workshops/mentalmodels_297I/?redir=L3dvcmtzaG9wcy8jd3NfMg==) and a free WebVisions conference pass
2. **Jeff Bunch** won a free conference pass
3. **Steve Peterson** won a free T-shirt

Thanks very much to everyone who participated in the raffle. For those of you who didn’t win, there’s still time to [register for WebVisions](https://webvisionsevent.com/cart/ "Register for WebVisions").

Whoa there, tiger. Why the sad face? I know, I wanted you to win, too. But buck up. There’s still something we can give you for free.

[Portland Lunch 2.0 will be hosted by WebVisions](http://siliconflorist.com/2009/05/11/webvisions-lunch-20-week/ "WebVisions Portland Lunch 2.0") on Wednesday, May 20. All you have to do is show up at the Oregon Convention Center and hang out with your peers from the Portland tech scene.

Word around the campfire is that it’s also [Adam DuVander](http://twitter.com/adamd "Adam DuVander")‘s birthday.

So, while you may not have won a free pass, you still have a chance to get a free lunch.

Please make sure to [RSVP via Upcoming](http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/1808990/) so that the WebVisions folks have a decent estimate for who’s showing up.
