I'm going to PDC05 this year along with Jody. I'm flying in Mon night, which also happens to be my birthday, and will be staying at the Omni. I'm not going to make it to any of the pre-conference sessions.
I'll have to look through some of the new sessions that were announced. Faisal is giving two sessions on MSBuild - which I'll be at for sure. (Hopefully when this is all done, he'll find more time for blogging!)
Either way, I'm looking forward to a good week of geeking out. This will be my first PDC, so I'm hoping it lives up to the hype. A few old friends and colleagues will be there and it will be nice to catch up with them. If you're going and want to meet up one night, drop me a line.
Actually, I'm headed to Los Angeles tomorrow morning for a long weekend. I'll do reconnaissance for the good bars and restaurants to hit up in September.
