TechEd is a party

OK, so we went to bed at 4 am! I firmly believe that I am fine, except that my body is not agreeing with me. My knees hurt, my skin ache and I hope those pics don't make it to the communities!

 

Last night's beach party was a blast, regardless of the poor turn out. Come on Geeks! We are allowed to party as a larger group! The beach balls were a great idea. I got kicked (accidentally), hit in the face by balls (only sometimes accidentally) and I still had fun.

 

The only reason people gave me for leaving early, is that there was not enough women. Gee, more often than not companies send the men to TechEd and not the women. Change that and the parties will *really* rock! Aparently my large and loud presence was not enough :-(

 

On to the more serious stuff. The Chalk and Talk sessions led by the MVP's are really worth attending. The groups are smaller, there are some really knowledgable people around and the discussions are lively. Team System looks awesome. Ahmed did a great job of running us through TS. I think it should have been at least two sessions. There was not nearly enough time to show all and to have a Q&A five minutes.

 

The communities have really grown the last two days. I hope that at least some of the guys will get involved and gain the advantage of being part of  SADeveloper and SAArchitect.

I agree. The MVPs rocked at Tech-Ed this year. The vibe in the Chalk and Talk sessions were electrifying to say the least.

Thank You MVPs!!!
