The name is a play on     <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Poetry_Slam\">     Poetry Slam<\/a>, but     instead of reciting poetry, you share your code.

I can bring one guest.     (However, since I am old and decrepit and have a job to go to the     following morning, I probably won&#8217;t last the whole night.) <\/li>\n<li>I am trying to     <a title=\"obtain by devious means\" style=\"background: highlight;color: highlighttext\">     finagle<\/a>     a ticket to the Windows Shell\/User MVP dinner     on Thursday evening. <\/li>\n<li>If I can&#8217;t get a ticket to the MVP dinner, I&#8217;ll definitely     <a title=\"attend uninvited\" style=\"background: highlight;color: highlighttext\">     crash<\/a>     the Windows Shell\/User MVP lunch on Friday. <\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ll     <a title=\"pay a brief visit\" style=\"background: highlight;color: highlighttext\">     pop by<\/a>     the MVP Barbecue on Saturday to     <a title=\"establish contact\" style=\"background: highlight;color: highlighttext\">     touch base<\/a>     with the MVPs in disciplines other than Windows Shell\/User. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> If you want to be sure to catch me, <a title=\"write me a note\" style=\"background: highlight;color: highlighttext\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/oldnewthing\/contact.aspx\"> drop me a line<\/a> and I&#8217;ll try to make time to see you.
