So I got into Seattle around 2:00 pm and found out that there was a gentleman behind me who is also going to his first PASS Summit. He had never known that there was an Edmonton PASS chapter so I was quick to fill him in and I think we will have another attendee at our next meeting. We shared a limo with @SQLFool (Michelle Ufford) and headed to the Sheraton.
I can’t even begin to list all the people that I met yesterday and the big group is still coming today. I went for dinner with Jason Massie ( @statisticsio ), Jason Strate ( @StrateSQL ), and Michelle Ufford (@SQLfool) and it’s amazing how welcoming and friendly EVERYONE is here. We started our evening at the Tap Room… then headed over to the Pike Bar and Grill and met up with another 15 people… then went back to the lounge at the Sheraton and met up with another 15-20 people and then tried our best (and eventually got to) Zig Zag pub.
I decided to turn in somewhat early last night (around midnight) in anticipation of a very busy week ahead.
Day 2 preview… started out having breakfast with Brent Ozar ( @BrentO ) and then Tim Ford (@SQLAgentMan), Pinal Dave (@PinalDave), Damon (@DamonRipper), Grant Fritchey (@GrantFritchey) and Jeremiah Peschka (@peschkaj) showed up. I mean seriously… where else can you go and chat and geek out with some of the best of the best out there for SQL Server folks.
So I’m out for now… will blog more later… Apparently I have a strong Canadian accent and it’s quite entertaining just to hear me talk… well at least Jessica Moss (@JessicamMoss) thinks so LOL.
Enjoy!!
