Melbourne Rocked too. Sydney and Canberra You're next!

I've returned home, following the Ready Launch in Melbourne.

The Melbourne Community Launch saw the who's who of the local sql server & dev community. For some reason the karaoke wasn't as popular as it was in Adelaide. Maybe the Melbourne folks are a bit shy. However, we did see some creative fellows put together a video which featured the Channel 9 Guy and the MSDN Webcast dude. These wacky developers are indeed worthy winners of the Tablet Guy.

The Business Launch was hectic.I saw many familiar faces, and  as in Adelaide I found myself answering a lot of the same questions:

• How much does this stuff cost
• How can I get my hands onto VSTS
• Where can I find hosting for ASP.NET v2

We ended our stay in Melbourne with a trip to Vlado's, which is a Melbourne tradition.

That's it for this week. Next week we head out to Sydney & Canberra. David Lemphers has been reviewing how to make the Community Launches even better. Let's make sure each city ROCKS!!!!!
