I didn’t attend the 2009 SQL PASS Summit in Seattle but I am following a bunch of people on Twitter who did.
There tweeting and twitpics were the next best thing.
The Twitter feed was like a stock ticker that kept me current on what was happening at SQL PASS.
What did I learn via Twitter regarding SQL PASS?
I should get the conference DVDs.
The webcast "Simplify SQL Server Management with DMVs - the Experts' Perspective" was hilarious. I attended. Buck Woody’s reign of humor continued throughout the week.
Louis Davidson (@drsql) loves sys.dm_io_virtual_stats.
I learned a simple query to find all the DMVs on a server from Buck Woody.
I can hover over the columns in Activity Monitor and see what DMV they are from.
Tom LaRock said "You don’t just get me, you get my network." A great way to justify SQL PASS attendance to a manager.
The Quest Twitter T-shirts were great.
Never ever walk out of a Buck Woody presentation.
Never bring a MacBook into a room with Buck Woody.
The keynote speeches will be on the DVDs.
One demo had a 192 CPU machine on stage. Wow.
Tweets to the SQL tweeps’ blogs further detailing their experiences.

Next year's PASS Summit will be in Seattle from November 8th - 11th, 2010. $995 rate if you register soon.
Thanks to all the SQL Tweeps for your coverage of SQL PASS last week!.
Nice recap! I thought the live streamed DMV webcast was hysterical as well. Always cool to see experts who not only love what they do but enjoy being around each other. Seeing the energy of one bounce of another and so on is really cool to witness.
