Anyone here remember "Pac Man Fever"? I've got that stuck in my head, only it's "I got PASS Summit fever, it's driving me crazy, I got PASS Summit fever, goin out of my mind…"
Just thought I'd share.
Today we have free books, comme d'habitude, a couple of giveaways, and an announcement!

MidnightDBA (that's us!) will be giving away shirts, books, hardware and other swag at the PASS Summit! To win, just follow us on Twitter. Throughout the days at SQLPASS we'll make an announcement, and the first one to find us will get the prize. Please, no running in the halls… Easy-easy, and we'll probably have some big fun with it. I'm thinking of stuff like, first person to approach Sean with a love poem (when announced) gets the big prize.
