Well, OK, a little grand, I suppose. Here's the scoop: there's an MSDN event being hosted at Configuresoft in the north end of town at the end of January (the 26th). The topic is "The Best of PDC". My ex-colleague and friend, Ted Malone, has details here.
I'll be there, hijacking it 
, and I'll be giving out a couple of free licenses to DevExpress products. So come along, see and learn some new interesting stuff, and say hello afterwards. I'd love to see you.
