.NET Wonk

.NET Rocks! is going to Rock the PDC!

Sunday night in room 403AB Microsoft is sponsoring a special live .NET Rocks! show.

Unlike most shows there will not be just one guest.  We're going to play the .NET Rocks! .NET Trivia Game.

Mark and I will pick contestants at random.  A panel of MSDN Regional Directors will have to answer questions correctly in order for the contestant to win a prize.

Sunny Day will be on the panel as well, but we can't guarantee he'll answer any questions correctly!

We wanted to have beer, and we still could if some white-knight sponsor would pony up the 8 FREAKIN GRAND the hotel wants to server beer. If it were MY hotel we'd get a keg.

Anyway, it should prove to be a GREAT TIME for those arriving at the show on Sunday. Of course, we're going to record it and make it available as a regular show.

Consider recording it on video as well. That would be twice as better!

I left my wallet at home that night, but how about we get a group of people together and rent out a penthouse at one of the hotels and have our own little party after?

I can say for a fact that dotnetjunkies will pitch in a nice lump if others will help out. We were planning on doing some sort of thing anyway. If you want us to coordinate please ping me. We can get a good rate on the room for sure being platinum members at about 3 of the more upscale hotels in the area.

let me now,

Well, that was way too cost-prohibitive. I don't know if you've done any video, but to do a 3-camera shoot right you need a talented video team, and they are not cheap. Besides, Mark and I share a phisique that was made for radio!

Donny, you mean raise some money to serve beer at the DNR show? Our room seats 800 people, and the PDC is sold out. That could get expensive :-)

If you mean have a party just to have a party, I'm all for it!

I know I'm no longer an RD, but I used to be. Does that qualify me?

You, sir, would be qualified if you'd been busted to a measly Microsoft sweatshop coder! :-)
