Why I want to go to the PDC... What is a PDC? Oh is that the developer thing in LA? Hey, I live close to LA. I should go... Wait, why would I go?
- I'm a new developer. These kinds of events sometimes have stuff that goes right over my head, but I always learn tons of stuff.
- I just subscribed to MSDN for the first time this week. Events like PDC are the perfect place for n00bs like me to meet and interact with other professional developers.
- It's stuff I need to learn. (ASP.NET, WinForms, Office 12)
- I'm very interested in VSTO and the xml file format for Office 12.
- IIS 7 is also a topic that has drawn my attention, so I am torn between tracks...
Why wouldn't I go?
- I just shelled out my last "education" dough for the year by purchasing my MSDN subscription.
- I can't think of another reason not to go. I just don't have the bucks.
I suppose I could sell my son:

But the wife would get mad and I hear that's illegal.
Now, how would I share the information I get at PDC? Through blogging? Well yes a little, but also with a Special Edition nlinus PDC podcast and video blog. Soundseeing tours of the PDC would be great for people who can't go. Interviews with fellow developers, scoble style.
