Since there were so few ladies at the SSC party last year, maybe have a "ladies get in free" offer??? :w00t:

That won't get any more female DBAs in the workforce!

Nice idea, but I'm not sure it will drive more ladies to the event.

The $30 is there really to cover prize costs. We get more than that in a referral from PASS and it goes to cover the costs of the catering.

From what I saw in Twitter, there were some ladies who were inquiring about this party. Maybe this year you will have more ladies. (Especially since they all know that I am coming...hahahaha)

One suggestion on the top prizes: you can give a raffle ticket per ### of chips (but give one raffle ticket to everyone who attends). Have a bowl for each of the three top prizes and allow people to put in raffle tickets into their choice of bowls.

This way the best gamblers (who seem to always do well) will have a better 'chance' to win, but not guaranteed.

So much for early registration guess I'll be missing out on the fun. The code was not available when I registered.

PASS and use SSC2010 as the code.

Note that if you're already registered, we can't add the code for you. It's a referral code. However if you register now and forget, send me and PASS an email right away.

You can still pay $30 and get in the door.

We get a referral fee from PASS to fund this, and there isn't a referral fee for the early registration before Feb. As Grant mentioned, you can still buy a ticket at the door.

I will be spending $30 for sure. 🙂 It is worth all that money and more. I want to see all of you gurus in person and I also want to have that chance of getting that iPad. 🙂

I have a bunch of DVDs and ThinkGeek stuff so far. Based on registrations, it looks like an iPad is a real possibility now.

You can just leave that iPad with the guys working the door. I'm sure they'll take good care of it.

I have a quick question. I used the mentioned referral code when I registered in February. I might be missing the obvious. Is my name on a list at the door or is there something I need to do to acquire my actual ticket?

Thanks,

Dan

If I am not mistaken, you will get the ticket when at the welcome committee of sqlpass. But Steve or Grant can confirm for you
