I was at sqlbits (and had been press ganged into being a room monitor and organising the grok talks - so I was in an event organiser/speaker shirt) and this random bloke came up and asked me if I wanted some C9 guys to give out.

He's not even on c9, he just met charles in redmond last year and got a bag full of them.

So I throw them into the lunch crowd (video to follow).

But really very strange that they appeared!

Channel 9
One Microsoft Way
Redmond, WA
98052

We fixed the process to make sure they get sent out.  Basically before someone on my team had to lick the stamps. Wink

Now all we do is grab that postcard or letter, walk it over to our receptionist and she sends them out.

Sorry to break the news blowdart but you won't be allowed in the building because YOU'RE NOT TECHNICAL ENOUGH!

P.S. Did you break the letter "m" on your keyboard or are you just not technical enough to find it when typing words like "dismembered" or "muahahaha" Tongue Out

I asked Charles for a nine guy when I was over - we met up for lunch and I left with a big bag full of the little criitters.  I have a few left which I will keep bringing to dev events in the UK (hopefully DDD next month if I manage to get myself invited).

BTW Thanks to all the organisers of the SQLBits event -it was a great day!
