Last Saturday's Silverlight Firestarter event in Cleveland was a blast.  Being able to express my excitement for Silverlight to so many people (around 70 people showed) that had little to no experience with it was unbelievable.

I had problems connecting my Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop to the external display so the projector wouldn't work.  I had the same problem last Tuesday night at the CINNUG presentation, but this time John Stockton was there to save the day.  I was able to present all of my material on his machine without much of a hitch.

Jeff Blankenburg did a top notch job presenting the keynote and improvising in his Tools talk when his Blend install wouldn't work with Silverlight 2 projects.  Sarah Dutkiewicz was inspirational in her XAML basics session - she gave a clear introduction to XAML while being sick and barely able to talk!  Finally, John Stockton's presentation on Server Communicatiion in Silverlight showed why he's the man. 

The project and slide files that I used for the presentations are available from my Sky Drive:
