I'm blogging from the PASS Summit 2009, making notes as the keynotes unfold. This is my second year doing it and it's a great time. Look for lots of notes and thoughts about the event on this blog over the next few days.

Yesterday was a busy one for me. I arrived at lunch, met a few people, and then went to the networking pre-conference session with Don Gabor. It was really helpful, with some good techniques that I plan to try out. Look for some other notes on that session later in the week.

Then it was the SQLServerCentral opening night party. Lots of pictures are floating around, and I'm going to post some links as soon as I can. I had a good time, the party went well, and we gave away about $1600 worth of prizes. I had more walk-up ticket buyers than I expected, so I'll be giving out a bunch of Starbucks cards over the next few days. I'm going shopping after the keynote to load up on some more giveaways. I'll randomly pick some people, but a SQLServerCentral sticker or shirt will probably get you one.

If you couldn't make it, I'm sorry you missed it. I'll try to give you a feel of the event and maybe you'll get to come next year.
