Atlanta SQL Server User Group meeting in Alpharetta, GA.&amp;nbsp; You can find 
all of the details &lt;a href="http://atlantamdf.com/" target="_blank" title="I hear that Sherman burnt 
the place down once."&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="mceTemp"&gt;&lt;a href="http://kevinekline.com/bibliography/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://kevinekline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/DB-Design-Lrg-243x300.jpg" alt="" title="DB Design, Lrg" class="size-medium wp-image-617" width="243" height="300"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Best Dang Design Book for SQL Server 
Professionals - EVER!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;I thought I'd liven 
things up a bit with a little contest.&amp;nbsp; The rules are simple:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A. 
If you don't follow me on Twitter, then follow me by clicking &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/kekline" target="_blank" title="Tweet tweet TWEEEET!"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;B.
 If you already follow me on Twitter, then tweet the details for 
tonight's event.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;C. Every new follower or current follower who 
retweeted the details &lt;i&gt;and &lt;u&gt;then attends the event tonight&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt; 
will get a free ebook for &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Professional SQL Server 2008 Design and 
Implementation&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/i&gt;by my buddy and fellow Nashvillian Louis Davidson
 (&lt;a href="http://drsql.spaces.live.com/" target="_blank" title="They Call Him Dr SQL - not Dr LOVE."&gt;blog &lt;/a&gt;| &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/drsql" target="_blank" title="Doctor Doctor Gimme the News..."&gt;twitter&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As
 the fine print usually says, "Must be present to win".&amp;nbsp; But just to 
liven things up a little bit extra, I'll pull several names from the hat
 of all the folks who were NOT present but followed or retweeted the 
event details between now and 6:30 PM EST tonight.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks and good
 luck!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Kev&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div id="refHTML"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
