Some things we grab to bring back to the office, user group, or family at home; every now and then you pick something up and say, "no way anyone's getting their hands on this!"</p> <p>For this month's topic we're going to have a little fun. I want to hear the story about the best SQL Server swag you've ever received. No cheap tchotchkes here - we want to know about the <em>good </em>stuff. Tell us when, where, and how you got it. Make sure to include a picture, too, because you know you want to make the rest of envious at your prize SWAG!</p> <h3>Housekeeping</h3> <p>A few rules to follow when participating:</p> <ul> <li>Your post must be published between 00:00 GMT Tuesday, October 8th, 2013, and 00:00 GMT Wednesday, October 9th, 2013 </li> <li>Your post must contain the T-SQL Tuesday logo from above and the image should link back to this blog post. </li> <li>Trackbacks should work, but if you don’t see one please link to your post in the comments section below so everyone can see your work </li> </ul> <p>And some optional (and highly encouraged) things to also do:</p> <ul> <li>Include a reference to T-SQL Tuesday in the title of your post </li> <li>Tweet about your post using the hash tag <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/search/%23tsql2sday">#TSQL2sDay</a> </li> <li>Consider hosting T-SQL Tuesday yourself.
