If you are in the US, MSDN made finding your local evangelist that much easier: top right corner on http://msdn.microsoft.com/events.
Click CT, which one am I?
The Events page enables you to review events (in person and web casts) in your area, take a virtual lab, etc.
P.S. You've got to try an MSDN Virtual Lab - if they don't allow you to install anything on your box at work, not to worry. MSDN Virtual Labs don’t require any installation and are available to you immediately for FREE.
