Join Me for Breakfast Tuesday at the Summit

I mentioned this in my SQLFun post last night and wanted to call out separately here, I typically do a low key coffee and donut breakfast on Tuesday morning at Top Pot. It’s 5 or 6 blocks from the Convention Center, just follow the monorail line and you’ll go right to it. Great coffee shop, […]

SQLFun–After Hours and More at the PASS Summit

The annual PASS Summit is definitely about technology and learning, but if that’s all you get out of it you’re missing out. Networking, also known as meeting people, is hugely valuable and often fun. It’s also a chance to recharge. We all do that in different ways, but I’ll wager that fun in some form […]

Final Prep for the 2011 Summit

I’m running through my mental (and some written) pre-travel checklist, tickets, clothes, a few odds and ends, trying to be reasonably ready for the the evening flight to Seattle on Saturday. I’m also looking at my schedule and thinking about what I really want to do. I have some PASS commitments, some personal commitments, and […]

Notes from SQLSaturday #85

I’m writing this on Sunday afternoon after the event, thinking about the event and what I want to share with you: The speaker party started with a down pour, forcing us into a too small back room that still worked. Great evening conversations. We used the built-in SpeedPASS for the first time. For those that […]

SQLSaturday #85 is Tomorrow!

It’s 7am on Friday and I can’t wait for the day to end, head home to change and then go to the speaker party, followed by an entire day of learning, networking, and just plain fun. We’ve still got room for more attendees, if you’re in the area hope you’ll come by. It might be […]

What Will Be The Shared Experience at Summit 2011?

Last year it was the Tina Turner impersonator. Was it last year or the year before where the servers spun up to the point it sounded like they would take off? I thought the Tina Turner experience was the first one that really stuck. It was one of those “I was there when” moments. I […]
