Well I also "missed" my flight from Hannover to Kopenhagen, because it was cancelled 25 minutes before departure...
Now I've booked my flight with a "little" reserve time то arrive on Friday evening...

So, who plans to be there in Seattle on Friday evening, on Saturday?...
Who plans any activity for this time?
My first try is (would be) attending Flight Museum, but it is just a subject to discuss /change..., in case some alternative variants will or would be suggested.

Wife and I will be arriving Saturday Afternoon. Checking into one of the smaller Marriott's (Spring Hill Suites) , then moving to Hyatt on Sunday.

And I will be staying in Eighth Avenue Inn till Sunday, then move to Westin.

We are still planning to get together on Wednesday night for dinner. For those of you planning to join us, please drop me a PM. I've been asked to watch my budget, so I'm asking for RSVPs.

Thanks,

Brad!

I am checked in at the Hyatt.

Tomorrow (SUNDAY) morning, I will be the first presenter at the MVP2MVP session.

I welcome everyone to come down [11:45 AM].

Aybody else who is already in town, please PM me and we can set up contact.

I'm back home. Really great meeting all you CG guys! We definately have to do it again next year. Oh and double the Vodka for all!!! :lol:

I agree that it was great to get to see everyone!

Victor was crazy with his camera, so we'll have to see if we can get his pictures on Flickr or a skydrive where others can get or see them.

Brad!

It was great to meet you all and dinner was fun! I hope to see you all again next year (and perhaps a little more often around codeguru)

Finally, I'm on the solid ground again. :)

Pleased because I have met few guys from VBForums.
Till now I thought... they are just a legend... :D ;)

He, he... do you recognize anybody in this video? http://www.microsoft.com/video/en/us...5-3c1123debc40 Let me give you a clue... there should be at least 3 people... ;)

I didn't look in the video but my guess is kleinma, robdog888 and cilu, I believe it is the same link provided by kleinma in vbforums, am I correct?

Hmm, I didn't see anyone with white hair. :p

But I did find "Waldo" :D:D:D

ps: I believe I am in there, but the image is not so stable when you blow it up, so I am not 100% positive....

Well, I've just arrived home (about an hour ago). The next days I will try to see the result of this "craziness" and learn how to public it.

I think I recognized a couple of people...

As promised, I've published some photos from MVP Global Summit 2009 here

I'm now also back from my trip to the states. The summit was great.
After the summit I went to Miami for 8 days which was also very good :D

You lucky b/mustard... :D

I'm curious, who is the lady MVP in the pictures? Is she a CG member?

You didn't say which one (there are two females there), the one looks like the VB.Net MVP that I met at the last Summit.

Pretty sure this is her: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/3/972/506

In what picture?

I'm guessing you are seeing TheCPUWizard's wife and Arjay's future wife (although Arjay thinks it is just his girlfriend).

actually.... if it is the lady at the EMP event, then it is a member of the band.

The lady in this photo.

That's Arjay's future wife..... :eek:

:)

I thought she was also an MVP so I wondered who she was and if she is a CG or even a VBF member.

Her name is Claudette and sadly she doesn't know how to program although she does know how to knit (which is harder than programming IMO).

Claudette works for The Boeing Company as a composite engineer.
