MVP Summit Seattle
So I am back from Seattle. It was great this year… we’ve had 2-3 days of technical discussions and all in all… the future on MS platform looks promising.
I’ve also met a couple of people in person like Oren Eini (Ayende), Scott Hanselman, Phil Haack, Peter Blum and had a chance to speak to the DNN crowd (Cathal, Joe, Shaun, Lee and others). The whole time there I’ve spent mostly in the company of great SQL MVP’s like my friend Dean Vitner, Tomislav Bronzin and Dejan Sarka which made the time spent even more fun! All in all it was great to be there!
Besides the “official” part of the summit I’ve also had a chance to visit the Seattle Aquarium and Seattle Music Museum with it’s sub-museum on Sci-Fi, the first Starbucks shop and other things… Really neat.

Just one really bad part is about British Airways… this is probably the last time I fly with them. When going to Seattle I did not check in over the internet… when I came there to get a boarding pass the lady told me that there are no seats left on the flight (and I payed for my ticket!!!) so she told me to go at the gate and try to get the guy there to find me a seat if someone doesn’t show up. Fortunately he did, and it all went great… but still, I really don’t need this. Especially when I pay my ticket regulary!!!
Cheers!
