It's like being a child again and waiting for a party invite from the most popular child in the class.
I've submitted a panel suggestion for SXSWi.
Looking at the competition I think I stand a chance of roughly less than 0.1% but heh, who knows, if I'm lucky the system might break and I'll be allocated all of Peter Kim's votes.
Here are some of the ones I'll be voting for (although I've yet to wade through the 2000+ entries).

And er, of course, if you'd like to vote for mine, that'd be lovely
