The first "Real" day of Teched is now over.  It was a very long day, but it was a good one.

I made it in late to the Visionary Session which featured Technology like LINQ.  When you see a lot of others that you respect in the SQL Community attending this session, you know that this stuff is important.  The Demos were great and engaging.

I spent a good amount of time in the TLC manning the PASS table.  I was also able to hit some of the exhibitors in the PM beofre attending another session.  Work does not stop for TechEd and I had to do some work before the Evening Reception in the Exhibit Hall.  I am a a little tired, but looking forward to some great content in the morning. 

The TLC is the place to meet others in the SQL Community at TechEd.  I saw Gert Drapers, Bill Vaughn, Kimberly Tripp, Douglas McDowell, Rushabh Mehta, Tony Mann, Brian Knight, Adam Machanic, Alan Hirt, James L (I won't try to spell it here), Maciej (MVP from Poland, Fernando Guerrero, Andrew Kelly, Ron Talmage, Kent Tegels, Scott Reagin, Dave Duvarney,  and many more that my tired brain is not recalling at this moment.  I hope to see many more tomorrow and the rest of the week. 

Don't forget that even more great networking opportunities in the SQL Community can be found at the largest SQL Server Only Event at the PASS Community Summit in November in Seattle.  Check out www.sqlpass.org for more details.
