ok, so may be it was just a water pressure problem in the building that caused the NSW fire brigade to respond and us to evacuate the building - but it did all start when I pressed F5 to run my Entity Framework demo!

I've had my talks and presentations interrupted by a number of different things including people turning on/off lights and of course the typical joker in the crowd but never had to evacuate the building before!

Jonathan Carter and myself were at the Microsoft office in Sydney last week giving a class on .NET 3.5 SP1 features.  I had just started one of my demo applications to explain some features of Entity Framework when all of a sudden the building alarm went off.  Like most big buildings in the US, the fire brigade had to respond and clear the building before we were able to return.  Rumors are that it really wasn't my demo that caused it but low water pressure in the building!
