I will be at the "Mini PDC" MSDN developer conference on January 13th in Chicago, IL.

It looks like I know several of the speakers and some of the content has likely already been seen online, but I'm eager to see this stuff in person and getting Windows 7 Beta is worth the train ride down!  The PDC was huge this year and it's nice to have a chance to hit the highlights.

I'm thinking a reservation at Fogo de Chão will be in order for after the show...
