I spent nearly a week in Chicago visiting three user groups and talking to everyone about Couchbase. A surprise marriage proposal happened at one of the user groups, where I was involved in running interference for the groom-to-be, and it was an honor to be part of it. I delivered presentations on two topics, including "Full Stack with .NET" at a user group that included the surprise proposal, and also gave a presentation titled "I Have a NoSQL Toaster" at the Chicago Geekfest, which is hosted by Chris Powers. Additionally, I had conversations about Couchbase's JSON capabilities with David Giard on his video podcast Technology and Friends.
