Silicon Valley Rocks Event Tonight!
@Melodis will be rocking out with many professionals tonight in San Francisco. It’s not too late to get your tickets! We are giving out free tickets on twitter.com/Sound_Hound!
Tech professionals by day, rockers by night — on December 9 at the Great American Music Hall, they’ll pick up their instruments and venture onto the big stage to let their alter egos shine… for a good cause and the love of music. Silicon Valley Rocks 2009 will bring together the Valley’s tech community — from VCs and entrepreneurs to bloggers and software developers — to raise money for Music in Schools Today (MuST).
