- Jason Hall (the one from Red Gate, which I will now just call J-Red)

- Kimberly L. Tripp (I am just going to call her KLT, because it is close enough to BLT)
- Michelle Ufford

I’ll keep adding names to the list, let me know if you are attending…and if you want to meet…or if you would prefer I stay away from you and you don’t want to bother with a restraining order.
For those that will not be able to attend the Summit this year, I want to offer you some tips on some of the various Twitter hashtags that may be in use during the first week in November.
- #sqlpass
- #pass09
- #quizbowl
- #sevendollarbeers

- #passrocks
- #freetshirts
- #noNDAhere
- #bacon
- #sqlpalooza
- #jaeger

Chances are if you do a search for those hashtags you will probably be able to keep up with all of the activities for the week.

- No question again this week, so I decided to just give you some random thoughts to ponder for the weekend.You’re welcome. Time travel is to a science fiction writer what babies are to sitcom writers. It is what you use when you cannot think of anything else, or want to be given as much leeway as [...] Click for more...
- After skipping the question last week, and not being smart enough to think of one this week, I have decided to simply mail it in. Enjoy. “Do you know the muffin man?” Click for more...
