Well, what can I say?  I'm a little disappointed.  Several weeks back I gave a MSDN Event / presentation on .NET 2.0 Internals at the local Microsoft offices.  As it turned out about 80% of the attendees of that event actually wanted ASP.NET (not the 2.0 Internals stuff).  Many other requests for ASP.NET 2.0 came in as well so we set up a special seminar focused specifically on ASP.NET 2.0.  We announced it at various conferences, user group meetings, and events.  I stayed up all night last night (my third in 9 days with another coming tonight) preparing a pretty powerful presentation.  After all that, one person showed up - ONE!

So what gives? Was no one else able to make it?  Did no one remember? Was it the presenter?  The topic was in pretty high demand, and we go to the extra effort to put it on, reserve the room, prepare a presentation, pretty much for naught.  What a disappointment.  Fortunately, the one attendee, a gentleman by the name of Joe Brame and a regular at these kinds of events and the monthly user group meetings, received full-on, 100% attention so the entire presentation was catered to him.  At least someone got something out of it.
