Xperimentality

Tonight the Birmingham .NET User Group hosted a Visual Studio 2008 InstallFest and Game Night.  It was very successful and everyone had a great time.

Doug Turnure brought over 3 XBox 360s and we projected them on the wall in a 3 different rooms.  At one point we had Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and Halo 3 going.  All I can say is I am glad we are developers and not band members!

We had some terrific giveaways for attendees including a Microsoft wireless mouse and keyboard, a fingerprint reader, and lots more.

I heard from a good friend and fellow MVP today, Keith Elder.  He is hosting a Geek Dinner in Hattiesburg February 4th!  Sara Ford from Microsoft is going to be there and for those of you who know Keith, I am sure this is to be a terrific night!  Sara is the Program Manager for CodePlex.com.
