Thank you, thank you, thank you to each and every one of you who donated, sponsored, played, or otherwise just showed up to make Ümloud! 2009 an incredible success.

We hit the DNA Lounge hard and rocked it all night. Our on-site partners at DNA, Tekamaki, Heatwave, Tyler Winegarner Photography, One Two Many, Reverb and Harmonix all worked in concert to give our hundreds of attendees a professional-quality show that I think exceeded everyone’s expectations.

You know now that Ümloud! 2010 is going to be incredible.

Many videos of our generous, talented Ultimate Bands are currently available on YouTube. Some of our favorites: Ironheade, real-life Lego Rock Band, Daylight Savings Crime.

DNA Lounge is streaming the audio webcast of the show via MP3 for the next two weeks, so listen (and grab the MP3s if you want) while the getting is good!

Many photos are popping up on Flickr. The best so far are from volunteer Brian Haberer, who took the amazing shot above.

If you were in an Ultimate Band, we’ll be putting you in touch with photographer Tyler Winegarner about those glamour shots that he took of you before and during your big performance.

Now, the big question: How much did we raise for Child’s Play? We are happy to say that we will be giving over $6,000 to the charity. We’ll have a final figure once we do all the math, but for now we’re blown away by the numbers.

We’ll be back soon with more videos, music, and notes from Ümloud! Thank you once again for coming to support us. This is only the beginning!
