Canadian Pride in Seattle

Last week I was in Seattle for the Microsoft MVP Summit 2008.  The Canadian presence was impressive.  Although Canadians only made up about 6% of the attendees, we stood out in our red jerseys and created a bit of a buzz by giving away hockey pucks with Microsoft product logos on them.

Kudos to our fearless leader / mastermind, Sasha K., who heads up the Microsoft MVP program in Canada.  That guy deserves a raise.
