The ComponentOne team at TechEd in LA next week will be handing out some cool booth swag. One of the items they are giving away can be worn...hint, hint. Therefore, they decided to make it fun. Starting at Noon on Monday, May 11 they will randomly pick someone in the exhibit hall, who is sporting it, and surprise that person with a single Studio for Silverlight subscription. It gets better; they'll pick someone every two hours during the expo hall hours.

So be sure to stop by the booth, get the swag and then sport it proudly for the chance to win Studio for Silverlight.
