I'm down
I'd definitely be down to talk about a few of the sites I've built and/or worked on, and I should be done with a really exciting Philly-centric music site at that point as well. It would probably make sense to decide on a few different types of sites to display-- sites which have varying designs, functions, etc-- and sites which display differing levels of difficulty in setting up.

Interest
I'd be interested. I could showcase the newest Sony website we just rolled out (http://musicbox.sonybmg.com).
sounds great
I would be happy to show some "basic" sites I have put together quickly for various projects (http://thehacktory.org, http://artbuggyderby.com).
These are all off the shelf code (no custom modules) with various levels of themeing effort.

Definitely
I've been building Drupal sites 100% for over a year now. In March, I had the pleasure of going to the DrupalCon 2007 in CA and meet the brains behind the code. There, I met a lot of people who have been using Drupal for over 5 years. Really an eye opening experience. It really changed my outlook on the potential of Drupal.
Anyway, I'd also like to present some of the sites I've helped to build...

Agenda for the Drupal Show n Tell
Hi all,
A reminder that this event is coming up next week. As you can see from the agenda below, we're aiming for a pretty wide audience. Aaron will provide an introduction to Drupal theming for those who are very new to Drupal and are looking to go beyond the stock themes. Alex will talk about some of the big modules like Views and CCK, as well as some lesser-known ones that can make your life easier. And Michael will show you what it's like to fight through something Drupal doesn't do well, but should, and how he's come out victorious.
Here's the agenda for the evening:
6:30 pm : Hello
7:00 pm : "Drupal Theming 101" by Aaron Couch, Philly IMC
7:20 pm : "Modules you can't live without" by Alex Urevick-Ackelsberg, ZivTech
7:40 pm : "How to make events not suck" by Michael Crawford, Rock River Star
8:00 pm : Drupal site show-and-tell from the audience
8:45ish : Wrap and head to National Mechanics
For the show-and-tell, we'll invite audience members, as well as our 3 speakers, to show Drupal sites they've developed and discuss the techniques, challenges, and outcomes of their projects.
Should be a good time, so mark your calendars now -- next Tuesday the 27th, 6:30PM at Indy Hall, 32 Strawberry Street in Philadelphia.
Nate.
How did things go?
I was so excited about coming, but then our furnace went on the blitz. I spent the evening trying to light the stupid thing, and now am talking with contractors to try to replace it.
Anyway, how did things go? Looked like a great agenda!
