Last year, we rocked San Francisco’s face clean off with the first west coast Fünde Razor.

San Francisco’s face was carefully reattached in what the attending physicians called a “harrowing” 15-hour surgery.

What San Francisco does not know is that its face is going to be rocked off again. Can we do it permanently this time? That all depends on you.

Ümloud! Try yelling it out. It’s like an umlaut, but louder, and it’s the name of this year’s fundraiser for Child’s Play Charity.

Mark your calendars for Wednesday, December 9, 2009. That is when you and all of your friends are expected to come to DNA Lounge, conveniently located on 375 Eleventh Street, San Francisco, from 7 PM to 2 AM.

What will we do there? What won’t we do there, more like.

Rock Out With Rock Band 2

DNA Lounge has an awesome stage, and we’ll be playing Rock Band 2 on it courtesy Harmonix Music Systems, who will bring all the DIY music and plastic instruments you could ever possibly want.

There will be a free-to-play area upstairs, and you can play on the main stage for a small donation. For more info, check out the Bands page.

Win Totally Freakin’ Amazing Prizes

Ümloud! is a free event (with a $10 suggested donation), and every attendee will get tickets for our prize drawing. We’ll be posting some of the prizes you can win on the Prizes page.

Also, there will be a Giveaway Table full of all kinds of awesome gaming swag salvaged from the closets of your humble organizers. Everyone who makes a donation to Child’s Play at the event will get something cool, but it’s first-come-first-serve. When it’s gone, it’s gone. Get in early.

Eat and Drink

DNA Lounge has a full bar, of course! But DNA Lounge is an all-ages venue, with non-alcoholic drinks and a delicious Mexican food kitchen. Have dinner! Have a late night snack! You’ll be here for a while anyway.

Make New Gamer Friends

That’s what it’s all about, right? Grab a drink and start talking to your fellow gamers, the sort of folk who, just like you, are passionate about games, Penny Arcade, Child’s Play, Rock Band 2, and raffles. We’re expecting hundreds of awesome people, especially you. You’re so charming, you little scamp.
