The 5th Annual Crunchies Awards are right after the holidays and we already have sold out our first batch of tickets. I told you they went fast. We are planning on releasing our next set of tickets some time soon before the holidays, but before that we wanted to give one lucky reader a chance to win two free tickets.

We haven’t announced our surprises that we have in store yet, but listen when we say that it is going to be a blast. The awards show never disappoints, and this year we are taking over the exquisite Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco. The Crunchies will take place on January 31st, starting at 7:30pm. The After Party will follow with all of the honorees and distinguished guests. There will be a hosted bar, hors d’oeuvres, a casino game room, and a lot more other fun and surprises we will announce shortly.

It will be a very festive evening spent with only the best of the best in the tech industry.
