How does the SQL Rally have a longer format? It's only two days, and the sessions are only 60 minutes. What am I missing here?

Who all is planning on going to SQL Rally in Orlando in May?

Since I work in Orlando, I'll probably go.

Since I'm one of the organizers, live in the area, and missed the Summit, I'll be at SQLRally.

How is your son?

Mine, by the way, broke his nose while I was away. We'll be going in for day surgery tomorrow. The fun never stops.

I certainly hope you would be invited. 😛 Who knows, I might even go.

I'm definitely going to try to make it to that one, especially after not making it to the summit.

Heard from Barry. He's fine, just busy.

I guess I consider PASS to be 4 days. Pre-con/arrival and 3 days. The Rally is 3 days, one pre-con, 2days of sessions. I have tended to find that I see more people at the one day events, meaning I'd have a chance to touch more people in 3 SQL Saturdays than a 3 day Rally.

That's good.

You can tell him that he can take a break from The Thread, but he can never leave. Resistance is futile! 😛

Took a shot, probably not worth much.
