Ümloud! 2010 is a night for gamers to get together, rock out and raise money for Child's Play charity. But really, Ümloud! is the rockingest night of your life.
Imagine playing Rock Band 3 on stage at one of San Francisco's hottest music venues, DNA Lounge. Imagine that you're plugged in to a serious sound system, and that laser lights and fog machines are swirling all about you. Imagine a crowd of screaming fans.
Are you pumped yet? Now imagine you're helping raise money for charity while you're rocking out.
At Ümloud!, you and your friends can get together, start a band and rock DNA Lounge's main stage on Thursday night, December 9, 2010. Buy an Ultimate Band pass ahead of time and you'll be able to reserve a time slot for your big performance. (These will go on sale soon.) Some passes will also be available at the venue.
If you don't want to drop the dough to play in the big show, a free-to-play smaller stage upstairs will be rocking all night.
In the month of ROCKTOBER, we'll be auctioning off one (1) "Headliner Band" package. Win this auction, and you'll be the stars of Ümloud. You'll play a two-song set list. We'll make you a killer introductory video. Ümloud's designers will create your very own logo and a Fillmore-style band poster. And more to be announced, all for one very special band that proves how special they are by giving us the most money. Watch this space.
Want to win some high-end rhythm gaming gear? How about unique, one-of-a-kind swag only given out to fancy games journalists? The Ümloud! raffle will be packed full of jaw-dropping prizes, which we'll be giving away all night long.
We'll also have some crazy game swag and rare items that are just too good to be raffled. The sort of thing that would fetch insane amounts of money on eBay but that you'll have the opportunity to bid on against your fellow Ümloud! attendees.
And all this for a donation of just $10 at the door, every penny of which will go to Child's Play. Oh, and Ümloud! is an 18+ event, so leave the kids at home.
