Today I had the pleasure of attending the VS.NET 2005 / SQL Server 2005 Launch event here in Salt Lake City, Utah.  The event was held at Jordan Commons and it's a good thing too.  We had one of the theatres completely packed.  About 700 people attended the afternoon session on VS.NET and almost that many in the morning for the SQL Server event.

It was a lot of fun to once again make contact with so many friends and associates and partake in the geekdom.  The opportunity was mine to work on the event staff, as I am inclined to do for these events, participating in the various community events around the valley and neighboring cities..  It was great to greet people and then catch periodic glimpses of the sessions.  What a follow-up to the Geek Dinner that we had last night.

There are days where I love what I do.
