Calling in all beer debts :-)
Just a quick note to say that I’ll be seeing many of you (I hope) in San Diego from Feb 2-4 at the Best Practices SharePoint Conference http://www.sharepointbestpractices.com/. I’ll be talking on a couple of key interest topics for me in the CIO stream – one topic in particular I have worked really hard on over the last few months and I really hope that others find value in it as well – only time will tell eh?
On a much more important note, can anybody recommend some good US beers to try because Bud is freakin’ awful 🙂
cheers

Wish I could come down and see the presentations. I remember once having an ale beer called “Arrogant Bastard Ale” which is made by the Stone Brewing Company in California so you might be able to get that there. It was pretty ‘robust’.
In the brewer’s own words: “This is an aggressive beer. You probably won’t like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth. We would suggest that you stick to safer and more familiar territory — maybe something with a multi-billion dollar ad campaign aimed at convincing you it’s made in a little brewery, or one that implies that their tasteless fizzy yellow beer will give you more sex appeal. perhaps you think that multi-million dollar ad campaigns make a beer taste better. Perhaps you are mouthing your words as you read this.”
Have they added you to the speakers list yet?
I looked for your website on
event speakers
and didn’t find it.
I would suggest you check out The Yard House. Looks like it’s about 15 miles from the conference site. I went to the one in Honolulu, they have 150+ beers on tap. Check their website for more info, worth the trip IMHO.

Hope to see you there
I second the above beer recommendations. My typical house brew is Shiner Bock (Texas!).
Sorry, there is zero travel budget for us. San Diego will be great, though!
