    Live in the San Francisco Bay Area? Come to Ümloud! on Thursday, December 9 and you could go home with all sorts of swag. [Ümloud!](http://umloud.org), a non-profit that I serve on the board of, has a Rock Band night every year to raise money for [Child's Play](http://www.childsplaycharity.org). We've taken the "Rock Band bar night" concept to the next level, letting people play on a massive stage at San Francisco's DNA Lounge with full lighting and sound systems behind them. Guests lined up to purchase $150 "band passes," which are now sold out. But we still need SF's gamers to come out and show their support. We're holding a massive raffle and silent auction, and everyone who pays the $10 door charge gets a piece of smaller swag off of our prize table. Ümloud! will also be the first place that you can play the upcoming Billy Joel track pack for Rock Band 3, which will be upstairs in the free-play lounge. Click through the gallery to see some of the prizes that will be at the event. More prizes are [listed on the Ümloud! site](http://umloud.org/prizes). *Ümloud! starts at 7 p.m., Thursday December 9 at DNA Lounge, 375 Eleventh Street, San Francisco. $10 at the door, 18+.*
