The bus will depart for Vegas from Microsoft's Silicon Valley campus on Saturday (carrying PodTech's Scoble and a few other bloggers), and start its show route on Sunday.
Bloggers just need to register at CES's 'Bloghaus' to get a ticket to ride.
As a general rule, the blogosphere never misses a chance to trash Microsoft, so this may be the company's way of courting favor with the e-stained wretches.
Presumably they're just as vulnerable as MSM are to the siren song of finger sandwiches and free (as in beer) beer.
