    I can imagine!

    So for Summit will you get to Seattle in time for the meet and greet / official opening of Summit on the Tuesday night?

    It will be good to catch up in person.

    is it your first Summit or have have you been before? I can't remember if you said.

    Rodders...

    I arrive at about mid-day, so should be attending the official opening.

    This is my second SQLPass, 2012 was the first. Both trips to SQLPass have coincided with changes in employment - it appears to tick a few boxes with employers when you're willing to go. Especially if you're so determined that you've have had to use your own time and money.

    Cool, hopefully we will bump into each other then.

    Canabalism is looking more attractive...

    Well, *that* escalated quickly.

    Seriously...an entire day went by with no action at all? Is another DBA at least in today?

    I can't believe they've had you sitting around doing nothing for a whole day.

    Well some progress was made as far as sorting out what started the problem, and it's supposed to be my supervisor's priority today. But, he ain't in yet, so that's not helping...

    Thankfully, the other DBA is here today, so if something comes up we can deal with it...

    #gloat Company's paying for the trip to the US. If I was speaking at Pass Summit, they'd be paying for hotel too. They paid for my trip to the Cape Town and Durban SQLSaturdays, and all days at a conference are considered normal work days.

    #endgloat

    So you'll be at the Summit after all? Nice!

    At SQL Pass there's usually an SSC night. I'm certain I saw mention of it somewhere but can't find it again.

    Could somebody tell me which night it is? Then I can arrange my other evenings around that.

    We aren't doing a party again. It's been too complex, with complaints from various other organizations, so too much of a hassle. Monday night, Andy Warren and I have a networking dinner meetup if you'd like to come: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pass-summit-2015-monday-night-networking-dinner-tickets-14302387827

    That does look good, but I have to resist. My wife and I have combined this trip with a holiday and she always knew I'd abandon her for three days. I don't think it would be fair to her to suddenly add a fourth, no matter how tempting.

    Oh wow, didn't know about that.

    if only Relay was in London today and not Reading. Not that I'm at Relay today. But meeting up with one or two or them afterwards.

    Oh, and maple beer - yuck.

    This made me spill my ESB all over the Pub lunch

    😎

    Where have you found ESB on draught?

    The Ale&Pie on High Holborn, next to my office

    😎

    Live 5 minutes from Chiswick so there is no shortage in the locals either.

    The Melton Mowbray? Haven't been in there for a while. The nearest gig was a telecoms company in Red Lion Square, maybe 12 years ago. We used to have Friday afternoon meetings in the Dolphin πŸ˜‰

    Edit: High Holborn is a mile from where I currently work.

    Good catch Chris, yes that's the one.

    So working only 10 minutes away from each other, where and when are we going to meet?

    😎

    There are two pubs almost opposite each other on Tottenham Court Road about 150 yards up from TCR tube station. One of them's called the Jack Horner. The one on the west side does amazing pies, the one on the east side has exceptional ESB. You choose πŸ™‚

    The Rising Sun and Jack Horner, not "too" unfamiliar πŸ˜‰

    Lets make it Jack Horner, now the question is when?

    😎

    That's them! The Rising Sun has the pies πŸ™‚

    Late next week - lunchtime or a couple of pints after work?

    Thursday next week, Pie lunch in the Rising Sun, my treat

    😎

    Followed by a pint in the Jack Horner, my treat πŸ™‚

    That's a "meal deal" then

    😎

    Please do at least one wrist curl for me as my spirit will be with you!

    Done, cheers Dwain!

    +1 and I believe I owe you a beverage of your choice (that's Gail, not Wayne).
