Ok, this is the second to last post on the MVP Summit.... (one more when I post the pictures)

Sam and I were on the same plane out today so we got our seats moved together and talked about Com Interop (I now know what the hell CCWs and RCWs are, and how they work), XP, and the CLR. It was nice to have someone to talk to on the long flight.

The summit went by so quick, but I did get a chance to meet a ton of cool people. I was really glad to finally meet Scott Mitchell, I have always enjoyed his writing and he published the first technical article I ever wrote (over on 4Guys). I also got to meet Scott W., another cool guy named Scott, it was awesome to talk about the future versions of .Text and where he might take the product in the long run.

Over the various nights I got the chance to hang out with all of these people:

Darren Neimke, GAD (Who got me in a political argument twice!), Marcie (DataGrid Girl), Korby Parnell, Kirk Evans, Wally McClure, Rob Chartier, Andy Smith, Steve Smith, Drew Marsh, DonXML, Rob Howard, Jonathon Goodyear, Ben Miller, Ambrose Little, Scott Sargent, Damian Barrow, Plip, David Penton, Terri Morton, Jeff Julian, Laura John, and more people I am sure I am forgetting.

And of course I already mentioned Rory, Sam, and Steve.
