Not according to my wife. I took her to that one night and she has rarely allowed me to choose a movie without her input since. She saw it as the worst movie she'd seen in a long time with no plot and full of special effects only.
I enjoyed it.

You guys are starting to sound like my film school criticism class..."It was interesting"
"I liked it"
"Interesting"
"You just made me sit through 45 minutes of a slow zoom across the room to a picture of nothing? How much am I paying for this?"
Wait, that last one was me.

Yeah, I've had that conversation too. I'm sorry, but a 20 minute film of you looking longingly at a potato is, at best, masterbation. Usually it's just shite.
To say the least, I wasn't always popular with the artsy crowd at film school.

Yeah, but did you see the sequel? That's the true test...

I do think that is an interesting take on the whole deal.
I read all of the explanations, but one still remains unanswered for me.
They were permitted to put between 5 and 9 candidates on the slate. Yet, they felt compelled to eliminate candidates down to the minimum number of 5. Why? If they had such a hard time eliminating a candidate and they were permitted to keep up to 9, then why not keep the candidates?
To me, the process there did not fail but it was the interpretation of the process that failed.

You misunderstand... I'm not going (unless I get a new job and they will send me). Just starting a topic on the thread to see who all is planning on going. Sorry for the confusion!
For those that go to both this and the SQLPass summit (Steve, anyone else...) - which one has the better ROI? What are the differences?

Wayne,
I don't go to both, but typically Connections has fewer SQL people in attendance and fewer SQL sessions to pick from, Last year there were several people like Steve, Grant, Brad McGehee that spoke at both, so I'd say session quality is at least as good at Connections as the Summit, but less choice.
For broader networking I'd do the Summit. If you might want some .NET/Sharepoint I might choose Connections.

Isn't one of the selling points of the Connections stuff that there are multiple disciplines at the same time? PASS Summit is much more focused on SQL products/tech
Visual Studio Connections
Nov 1-4, 2010
Las Vegas, NV
Microsoft ASP.NET Connections
Nov 1-4, 2010 at Las Vegas, NV
Microsoft Silverlight Connections

Microsoft Exchange Connections

Windows Connections

EDIT: followup questions, is that one price and cruise through all the different disciplines? Or separate tickets for each?
And, on a related note, is the PASS Summit only open to members? Can't find anything that explicitly says that, just wondering.

Here's a fun one, find your favorite icon within the infographic:

From the Connections site
Co-located with SQL Server Connections will be: ASP & Silverlight Connections, Visual Studio Connections, SharePoint Connections, Windows Connections, Exchange Connections and DOTNETNUKE Connections each with their own set of tracks and speakers. As a paid attendee of the SQL Server Conference you may attend the sessions at any of the concurrent events.
As far as the Summit, anyone can go, PASS won't turn down anyone's money.:-P IT used to be going to the Summit was what made you a member.

Once price, all 7 conferences. If you're a hybrid person, and more and more of us are, it might be better. My first time this Nov, and I'll let you know how it goes.
