Fall has arrived which means it’s conference season: [Connections](http://www.devconnections.com/dev13/public/mainhall.aspx) is happening this week, the [PASS Summit](http://www.sqlpass.org/summit/2013/Home.aspx) is just around the corner, [SQLintersection](http://www.sqlintersection.com/sql.aspx?s=118) at the end of the month, and [SQL Server Live!](http://sqllive360.com/Events/Orlando-2013/Home.aspx) in November…and that’s not including all the [SQLSaturdays](http://www.sqlsaturday.com/) happening every weekend as well.
Conferences are great for learning and catching up with friends and #SQLFamily…but let’s admit it – we all like to roam the vendor halls to score free stuff, too! Some things we grab to bring back to the office, user group, or family at home; every now and then you pick something up and say, “no way anyone’s getting their hands on this!”
For this month’s topic we’re going to have a little fun. I want to hear the story about the best SQL Server swag you’ve ever received. No cheap tchotchkes here – we want to know about the *good* stuff. Tell us when, where, and how you got it. Make sure to include a picture, too, because you know you want to make the rest of envious at your prize SWAG!
Invitation from Kendal Van Dyke. No roundup.
