Original post

btw as a musician myself i've gone ahead and pulled the trigger for the first ever music corner at AIE

if you code + music, we want impromptu jams between sessions. grab me to sing with u if u want. give us your best dad rock.

sponsorship for this + networking night on jun 30 are the only show floor opportunities left at aie, everything else is sold out

(btw tix on track to sell out TOMORROW)

@swyx this is a solid move. musicians who code are a rare breed, love that youre making space for both.

@swyx dad rock at a dev conference is the ultimate stress test for the networking floor. count me in.

are we talking strictly classic rock or are we opening the floor to some 90s alt-rock deep cuts too?
