I figured I'd start a thread (I don't think anyone's done so) for all things SQL Saturday!

I'm heading down to NYC tomorrow for SQL Saturday #158

Who's going to be there (that is, besides Dan, whom, I assume, I'll see on the train tomorrow morning)? Anyone want to hook up?

Not me, though I'd like to. Camping with the family, so I'll be gone Mon/Tue as well (everyone behave).

My 2012 SQL Saturday schedule moving forward is likely:

Sept 22 - Denver
Oct 20 - Salt Lake City (tentative)
Dec 8 - DC (tentative)

I don't currently have money for SQL Saturday travels, so likely will stick with local ones until the financial situation improves.

Anyone have a million dollar winning lottery ticket I could "borrow?"

If you find one, please share the wealth, I could some extra cash too.

Cool

Me too. I feel the pain, believe me.

For me, NYC is the closest thing I have to a "local" one.

It helps that I was able to scrounge up great deals on Amtrak!

I'm maxed out for the rest of the year. I'll be in Oklahoma City in a couple of weeks and Rhode Island in September, but after that, it's all SQL In The City, Connections, PASS Summit and a new one in December, SQL Server Live. Next year, I should be back to a bunch of SQL Saturday events.

Maybe. Let me see how my schedule looks. (And let me consult with my wife -- she handles my checkbook, after all! Wink

Looking forward to seeing you there.

"RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for "Row-By-Agonizing-Row".

First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
Stop thinking about what you want to do to a row... think, instead, of what you want to do to a column."
