The SQL Saturday Thread

  • I figured I'd start a thread (I don't think anyone's done so) for all things SQL Saturday[/url]!

    I'm heading down to NYC tomorrow for SQL Saturday #158

    Who's going to be there (that is, besides Dan, whom, I assume, I'll see on the train tomorrow morning)? Anyone want to hook up?

  • Not me, though I'd like to. Camping with the family, so I'll be gone Mon/Tue as well (everyone behave).

    My 2012 SQL Saturday schedule moving forward is likely:

    Sept 22 - Denver

    Oct 20 - Salt Lake City (tentative)

    Dec 8 - DC (tentative)

  • I don't currently have money for SQL Saturday travels, so likely will stick with local ones until the financial situation improves.

    Anyone have a million dollar winning lottery ticket I could "borrow?"

    If you find one, please share the wealth, I could some extra cash too.

    Me too. I feel the pain, believe me.

    For me, NYC is the closest thing I have to a "local" one.

    It helps that I was able to scrounge up great deals on Amtrak!

  • I'm maxed out for the rest of the year. I'll be in Oklahoma City in a couple of weeks and Rhode Island in September, but after that, it's all SQL In The City, Connections, PASS Summit and a new one in December, SQL Server Live. Next year, I should be back to a bunch of SQL Saturday events.

    Will you be able to make Rhode Island in September?

    Maybe. Let me see how my schedule looks. (And let me consult with my wife -- she handles my checkbook, after all! ;-))

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    Man, now you guys have me thinking about it! Let me look into it a little, and see if I'm able to swing the trip.

  • I'm thinking about trying to get to the SQL Saturday in SLC in October. Hoping I will be able to swing it, but will probably need to find a roommate. I don't think I could pay for 2 nights at a hotel myself.

    There might be a few of us around SLC that might be able to help.

    FWIW - Grant Fritchey will be there too. He alone is worth the price of admission (ok travel plus lunch costs).

    Also from the thread you might recognize the likes of Jack Corbett and Wayne Sheffield.

    Yep, I've hooked up with Grant before at at least one of the previous NYC SQL Saturdays!

    I'd probably need to figure out lodging myself (I'd really prefer not to drive from Albany, NY at 5 AM!). Worst case, I suppose I could crash at one of my wife's aunts/uncles/cousins' places -- they live around the Boston area.
