SQL Heroes : t-shirts

Individual T-shirts for entrants going in the mail...

reedme — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 02:09:17 GMT

I've got a few Ts left over after Tech*Ed 2008, and I don't want 'em to go to waste, so I'm going to put T-shirts for individual entrants in the mail next week.

Those of you who have signed up already will be getting an email from me asking what size you want (of the limited options we have left). If your email bounces, you're OOL; if your mailing address is in Mandarin or Russian, you'll have to help me out with an English collation translation.

If you want one of these classic, sexy T-shirts, get your Official Contest Entry™ in before Monday 30 June (while supplies last)!

BTW, just as a reminder, Monday 30 June marks the "You only have 2 months left!" date. Just a subtle hint. Heh. Play early. Play often.

MVP dinner. No pictures. Just contest swag...

It was cool to meet lots of smart folks at the SQL Server MVP dinner last night. I got a chance to meet some of my long-time heroes!

For those of you @ the summit who didn't get your swag (or the size you preferred), come on over to Building 34 when you take a break and we'll get you hooked up.

Out of respect for the dignity of the attendees, pictures of the dinner antics have been suppressed by the censors. Heh!

The T-shirts have arrived.

It's Official™! The T-shirts are in and locked away in the super-secret swag vault somewhere deep in the bowels of Building 35...

The only way you're going to get one is to ask me nicely (first and foremost) and show up at one (or more) of the following:

The MVP Global Summit (14-17 April 2008 in Seattle, WA)
Tech*Ed - Developer Week (3-6 June 2008 in Orlando, FL)
SQL PASS Summit 2008 (18-21 November 2008 in Seattle, WA)
One of the events @ a SQL Server user group that I sponsor (with T-shirts)*

There's still Plenty of Time™ for you to sign up for the contest and get your shot at being recognized as a SQL Hero. (Not to mention the five Windows Home Servers that are up for grabs.)

Whoops, got to run to an offsite planning thingy for "next year." More later!

* Yes, I wish that I could've gotten the contest launched in time to be "in the box" with the Community Launch kits, but... If you're on the board of a SQL Server user group (or running an upcoming Community Launch event) and you'd like some T-shirts, tell me about your user group and how you plan to use the shirts and we'll see what we can arrange.
