a Friday event is going to be a tough sell. I love me some free training, but giving up a day of work makes it a little less free.

That's great news – sounds like fun. Thank you for organizing it again. And it's on my birthday, what a nice bday present.
I'm hoping there will be a session on Silverlight or Windows Phone 7. ASP.NET MVC/Spark and NoSQL technologies like MongoDB would be cool too!

We have not yet decided whether or not we're going to charge for the event. We probably will, based on the great experience we had with that last year (only a 1% dropoff rate with over 400 attendees) but I doubt it will be as expensive as other similar conferences. Last year, most people only paid $25 to attend. I'm pretty sure we'll do something similar this year.

Yes, charging an attendee event fee does usually keep the dropoff rate to a minimum. It just sounded like Tim had some other expectations. $25 for a full day community event is still a great price.
