The official name of tonight’s show (courtesy of Nic Cain, @anonythemouse, who won a free Apress book for it!) is “Sean Has a Mancrush“. The unofficial name is “Cornhole Blacklight is the Name of my Boy George Cover Band”.

Tonight, we talked about these and a few other things:

• Groupie count (30) and, of those, Parliament of Owls members (15).
• Overview of Jen’s 24HOP session, mention TSQL Tuesday (9/14) on indexes.
• Pragmatic Works in October – probably will be a free class by Sean.
• Our NEAR cornhole this week, the plagarizer who took down his site on request.  Good job, dude.  Jen bought American Cornhole Association hats.
• Sean’s new award: The Golden Shower of the Week, awarded to Microsoft!
• Topic from SQL Princess: what to do when your boss is out of town.
• How Jim, our Freddie, KILLED MIDNIGHTDBA.COM! With visual aids!
• Sean’s undies
• We push the Apress book “Pro SQL Server 2008 Policy-Based Management” by @KenSimmons, @SQLChicken, and @BenchmarkIT 
• My ON/JOIN tip.
• Datacenter install
• Wrong answer, McFly
• Rant: Anti virus

We reached 61 viewers overall…like, OMG!

This show will be published on or around 9/27/2010. Upcoming events before and after that date include:

• Talk like a Pirate Day 9/19. Really.
• SQL Saturday Colorado 9/25
• Jen’s SQLServerCentral.com editorial later this month
