I was going to go to Detroit. Sounds like it's a good thing I didn't

Carl, I was wondering. Your link to dev days shows a quote from Scott Hanselman with a picture. I guess that Lasik surgery was pretty comprehensive ;)

I was at the Detroit one also. It sounded more like it should have been for people that never used the framework or Visual Studio. I didn't walk away with a whole lot of new information. Maybe I'll change my mind after going through the "other" track (the darling child: ASP.Net).

*Sigh* Here in Detroit all we got were a bunch of people reading off of slides and coding like it was the first time they've seen it. I was literally bored to tears - no really, my left eye kept tearing up for no other apparent reason. I left after the second smart client presentation, figured I'd get as much out of the DevDays DVD.

I thoroughly enjoyed dev days!!! The keynote, well, absolutely awesome! I was so moved by Toy Boy (after just hearing it in the car on my Archos on the drive in ), I almost had you autograph a body part that cannot possibly be mentioned here! I know he just flew in cross country and had a less than pleasurable train ride to Hartford, but Rory seemed a little off, understandably. I love his blog and DNR with him, so no biggie. The rest of the day was spent in the web track, really really cool stuff. Duane and Patrick deserve a hats off! The closing keynote rocked; coming to the SIG and seeing some of that made me think when I got home that it was all merely some alcohol induced dream, but you set me straight. The booty bag was blah. Of course Whidbey bits are great, but the rest was so-so. They throw better stuff at you at free events (MSDN 1/2 day things and ASP.NET roadshow) I thought they would knock our socks off for $75 or whatever it was.
For those who didn't go, get thee to Boston!!! (March 16th) Rory, sorry, hope you are feeling better, Carl, you Rocks!

D@#$!!! $#!^!!!! CRAP!!! I missed it!?!? CRAP!!! Sorry to use such language on your blog, but...

This ruins my day... sorry. You and PAT? Meeting Rory? Security? Whidbey?

No wonder yesterday was a lousy day here in the office.

I think I'm going to cry... literally.
