For all those that are interested here is the presentation that I gave as well as the VS2010 project sample

SQL Azure Presentation recap by SQLRockstar
So at SQL Saturday I presented a session on SQL Saturday that had several parts that required the internet for my demonstration. But, alas my tubes were clogged and as we are all aware the internet is not a truck. So as SQLRockstar points out that perhaps the epic fail that occurred with my connection illustrated a valuable lesson to consider when talking about moving you mission critical data to the Clouds. What happens when for any given reason I (or an entire building/city/state/country/region) can't talk to the clouds?
The clear solution is to have local servers that can work as fail overs but with SQL Azure not currently supporting mirroring to local databases any sync between local and cloud is DIY.
