PASS Summit 2009 - Next Week!

I'll be in Seattle filling my brain with all things SQL Server next week.  I can hardly contain myself - because for me, this is no ordinary conference!
It will be my first conference participating as an MVP.  This is pretty significant, as I'll be getting to meet with lots of other MVPs - icons in the field as far as I'm concerned.  I'll also get to have really interesting conversations with the Integration Services dev team, and get some gory details as to what they're working on.
It will also be the first time I've volunteered at a conference.  My awareness of this came from being an MVP - but there's nothing stopping non-MVPs from volunteering - so please do!  (You might get a free pass.)  I'll be assisting in the Hands-on Labs on Monday morning and Friday afternoon.  I'll also be at the Birds of a Feather MVP lunch, hosting a table on (of course) using scripts and custom objects in Integration Services.
But as interesting as all that will be, I might just be most interested in what happens by being a square in Quest Software's Twitter Bingo.  It's an opportunity to win prizes from Quest Software and SQLServerPedia, and meet people that you've only ever heard of or talked to online.
And of course - there will be too many sessions to attend.  I still haven't nailed down what I'm going to see - and I usually have that all figured out a day or two after the schedule is released.
Take part in the fun if you're going to be at PASS Summit 2009 - don't sit alone at lunch, and don't sit in your hotel room in the evening.  Say hi to somebody during the day, and ask if they have any plans.  There's thousands of us there - there just aren't enough restaurant tables in Seattle for us all to sit alone!
You can follow what I'm up to on Twitter, as I'm being encouraged to tweet about where I am and what's going on for the Bingo game.  It's a great opportunity to talk to experts in the field that are literally begging you to come talk to them.  I certainly will be taking advantage and trying to black out my card.  Come say hi, and learn my code word (which unfortunately isn't as creative as I hear other "squares" words are) for your chance to win prizes.
