Going to the Visual Studio 2005 launch event

[kyzen]

Gotta head out in like 15 minutes, realized I have no idea if I'm going to be surrounded by people in suits, jeans and shirts, whatever.

Is a laptop worth bringing, or is that going to be a 15 pound bag I end up lugging around and never opening?

I'm guessing penguins are out of the question...

Can't go wrong with slacks w/ shirt and tie. You can always take the tie off if it's too much...

I was at the Win2k launch in Nova Scotia. The dress seemed to be whatever (including the t-shirts they were giving away). Laptops not useable there, but useable afterwards). Have fun.

EDIT: Upper level casual can never be bad...

 

Don't worry about it. Most devs are probably pulling their clothes out of the laundry basket ATM.

The typical Microsoft look is a pair of kakis and a blue button down shirt, no tie.

Thanks folks; exactly what I needed 🙂

This forum does horrible things for my ego. It makes me regret joining the Navy more than anything.... 🙁 Oh well. Life's a bitch.

I don't know what you should wear, but tell them to fix the damn vb compiler crashes.

FSCK.

Too late for the OP, but for anyone else that may go to one of these events: stay for both the sql server 2005 and the vs2005 events. You get a full copy of all the softwares with each event. So, two sets of VS2005, SQL2005 and MSDN 2005.

The event is clothing optional
