Just how easy is it to get a press pass?

Fishbowl DC spent a frustrating week (see links to each day's story) trying to get a pass but never even getting their calls returned. It appears now that they have actually been cleared for a one-day visit to the pressroom today (nothing like Gannon/Guckert's multi-year daily wavers, but hey). After that, actually getting to ask a question would almost be anticlimactic. Good luck, guys!

Update: Hah! anticlimactic was exactly their description, as well as "meta," as he found himself being interviewed about being the first blogger in the pressroom (almost more than he was interviewing the others there). Too silly. The day's experience is summarized in several posts there.
