450 people signed up for the MSDN Event at Phipps Plaza today!  That number is well over capacity at the theater, but several people didn't show up so there was still room to sit.  Still, all the publicity seems to be working for Glen - more people are learning about his FREE developer training events and planning to show up.

Unfortunately I was not one of the people who could show up.  My evil boss required me to be at work today so I could only attend the after-party.  I, and about 50 of my closest friends, congregated at the American Cafe underneath the AMC theater in Phipps Plaza.  Microsoft was kind enough to purchase some free appetizers for us (Thanks Glen!) and give away some prizes.  Everyone at my table won something except me!  That's what I get for not showing up to the event, bad karma.

Brendon will be posting a blog entry to cover the actual MSDN Event content as well as some photos he took.  He'll probably get those up in the next day or so - he's actually visiting with his Grandmother tonight.  Hello, Brendon's Grandma!

Upcoming meeting reminders!
Monday the 21st - Atlanta Mobility Group.  Shawn Wildermuth presents ADO and the Compact Framework.
