Great Phoenix Silverlight User Group Meeting!

I'll admit I was apprehensive going into the building last night. I didn't know if this 'grand experiment' was going to work or not, but it did!

Michael Palermo had the same feeling since he told me he had not set up a room for us, we'd play it by ear.

By the time we were eating pizza we had moved into the kitchen area, and used up all available seats and 9 of us sat around the table having some great discussions... some on-topic, some not, but all good.

Based on this, I wouldn't hesitate to do this again, and more attendees would make it even better because we could have more than one group.

Steele Price announced to everyone his news about the November meeting: Kathleen Dollard is going to be at our November 4 meeting, giving us all the inside scoop on MEF! I don't know for sure, but I'm thinking we're going to need a big room for that one... so put it on your calendar now, and get there early.

Until then

Stay in the 'Light
