Just about 5 months ago we held [PostgreSQL Conference, West 2008](<http://www.postgresqlconference.org/2008/west>) in Portland Oregon. It was a very successful conference with approximate 20% growth over the previous West in 2007. It was also a three day conference over the previous West event which was a single day conference. As we prep to hold [PostgreSQL Conference, East 2009](<http://www.postgresqlconference.org/2009/east/>) at Drexel University I wanted to look back at one of my favorite talks from West. Developing a PL for PostgreSQL is a hilarious but technically accurate presentation on creating procedural languages for PostgreSQL, the catch? The presentation uses LOLCode.
