Thanks Wes. 
Last year I won a 9AM.com contest (a random draw, really) which netted me a free convention pass and a free room. That was pretty cool; but I still feel like I “owe” them for that. :p Ah well.
More than likely I will talk to my top performers first, as you suggested. I’ve sent some decent $$$ to a few different places, so I’m thinking maybe it is smart to at least ask if they can do something for me. Thanks again for the feedback.
