SQL Server with Mr. Denny » NEC http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/sql-server Fri, 24 May 2013 17:04:09 +0000 en-US hourly 1 SQL Karaoke 2011 powered by NEC and Genesis Hosting Solutions http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/sql-server/sql-karaoke-2011-powered-by-nec-and-genesis-hosting-solutions/ http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/sql-server/sql-karaoke-2011-powered-by-nec-and-genesis-hosting-solutions/#comments Thu, 29 Sep 2011 13:00:03 +0000 Denny Cherry http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/sql-server/sql-karaoke-2011-powered-by-nec-and-genesis-hosting-solutions/ So this is the all important SQL Karaoke wrist band post.  In order to get your SQL Karaoke wrist band you must head over the NEC booth on Wednesday during the exhibit hall hours and talk to the fine folks that will be working there.  If they decide that you are worthy they will grace you with an all powerful wristband which will get you some free drinks at Bush Garden that night. Now keep in mind that there are a limited number of wristbands available.

Now myself and our awesome NEC rep will be arriving at 9:30 at Bush Garden (possibly even together).  Anything you drink before 9:30pm IS ON YOUR TAB.  Once the tab is open its first come, first served.  Don’t be greedy, we have a budget so don’t be drinking all of it.  We want the budget to last so that everyone can enjoy our sponsors amazing generosity, so I’ll say it again, don’t be a putz.

When the drinks run out, they run out.  If you get there late and the budget is gone, then sorry.  Crying to me will get some big old puppy dog eyes with my most polite and heartfelt “so sorry”.  Once the budget runs out I’ll grab the mic and let you know that you’ll need to open your own tab in a way that is truly “me”.

If when you get to the NEC booth the folks there don’t know what you are talking let me know on Twitter or email and I’ll get my guy down there to straighten them out.  There shouldn’t be any problems, we’ve got their marketing department running the show there.

Don’t forget to tip the nice lady that brings you the drinks and the KJ who lets us abuse him for the night.

Denny

A few fine companies have offered to open up the bar for our enjoyment. There will be a limited number of wristbands available for drinks, so be sure to find me Wednesday during the summit to get yours (more details about when and where I’ll be handing these out to follow as we get closer to the summit).  Many thanks to our sponsors NEC and Genesis Hosting Solutions.  Their support of our event is nothing short of awesome.

NEC is a regular SQL PASS so be sure to go to their booth and give them some love at the summit. NEC offers a wide range of products including great storage arrays and some of the most highly available servers around which are great for running SQL Server on.

Genesis sadly won’t be at the SQL PASS summit this year but there were kind enough to sponsor us anyway.  If you see Genesis Hosting at another conference be sure to show them the love in the booth.  Genesis Hosting Solutions offers a wide variety of hosting and virtualization solutions designed to meet the needs of any company from needing just a few VMs to hosting an entire virtual production or DR facility with hundreds or thousands of virtual machines.

Thanks again to both sponsors for helping us out.

See you at the summit,

Denny
