Good Performance Training

I'm looking for a good SQL Server performance training class - I
finally wore my boss down and he gave me $. I've done lots of Oracle
courses in the past but have had a hard time finding a Microsoft
certified course and I just missed TechEd so I was thinking about this
one:
http://www.sqlskills.com/immersion_dbtuning.asp as I hear that
Kimberley Tripp is a good teacher - it was promoted at the last
Chi-SSUG so I guess its ok? What does everyone else think? Are there
other better things on offer? The dates work for me (gotta do a big
release in Sep so the dust'll settle by then :-)
I want an instructor led classroom course so's I can ask questions
about our own systems and design, and it has to be technical to keep me
interested and I hate it when the teacher is just a page ahead of the
class and knows nothing

Kimberly is an extraordinary speaker, you can't miss with her. Besides her,
Kalen Delaney is just as good - check

Also consider Scalability Experts, if they are doing anything in your
area... ONe of the SQL MVPs works for them...
