Scott and Rory do PADNUG

Scott Hanselman and I are going to be giving a talk at this Thursday's Portland Area .NET Users Group (PADNUG) meeting.

When I say "Scott Hanselman and I are going to be giving a talk," what I mean is that I'm scheduled to give a talk, and Scott is going to be my codemonkey, but Scott is really smart, and I have little doubt that this will turn into a dialogue between me, Scott, and the audience, resulting not in a presentation simply given by me, but a FULL BORE 300 MPH WHIRLWIND OF .NET BADASSNESS COMING AT YOU IN TECHNICOLOR DOLBY SURROUND 3-D MADNESS THAT WILL EDUCATE, ELUCIDATE, AND LEAVE YOU SCARED WITLESS WITH A PILE OF GREAT NOTES, A PAIR OF SHORTS IN BAD NEED OF CHANGING, AND ONE HELL OF AN EMBARRASSING EXPLANATION TO BE MADE TO WHOEVER IT IS THAT DOES YOUR LAUNDRY.

If you think that's the kind of thing you can handle, and if you have an extra pair of shorts to bring along, then check out the meeting details here.

You've been warned.

After Scoble, you're the second best acquisition MS has made. And they haven't realized it yet !

It makes me jump on my car and drive all the way from FL to OR to be there !

Unlucky me, this is the only pair of shorts I got left after the hurricane :-(

In your travels as MS guy, will you be coming out to Utah at any point in the near future . . . ?

Rory Blyth - wicked smart/wicked funny.
Scott Hanselman - wicked funny/wicked smart.

I would pay a lot of money to see that presentation. Unfortunately not enough money to buy me a plane ticket from Providence to Portland :(

Any chance of a video of this kind of thing for those that can't make it. Possibly on channel9?

Two thoughts:

1. Rory, let's go see Scoble and do some Channel9 stuff.
2. Joe: You're saying I'm funny/smart, but Rory's smart/funny? What are you implying?! ;)

Scott (and Joe) -

"Rory, let's go see Scoble and do some Channel9 stuff."

I'm down - I actually have something I'm putting together for them right now (I mean, not *right* now, 'cause I'm writing this comment *right* now, but you know what I mean), and I'd love to do more.


"Joe: You're saying I'm funny/smart, but Rory's smart/funny? What are you implying?!"

I was hurt by that, too, Joe.

Is there any chance Scott and I could switch attributes? I want to be funny/smart, and I think Scott wants to be smart/funny.

Actually, if you could just make me hunky/rich, then you can forget about all that smart crap.

OK:

Rory - hunky/rich
Scott - rich/hunky

If you aren't satisfied with this the we'll switch it to:

Rory - pain in the ass/bastard
Scott - bastard/pain in the ass

Sheesh, try to complement some guys! ;)
