 On June 21st, 2022 in Cambridge mass at the Sinclair, right in Harvard Square, the Tech Tackles Cancer event is back with live band Karaoke. Local Boston Tech athletes will be raising money for great cause tackling pediatric cancer and theCUBE is a media sponsor of the event. Ken Steinhardt is a field CTO at Infinidat, a local Tech athlete and he is going to be singing at the event because partner in crime is also here to lend a little wingman support, Eric Herzog, Herzog and store. Welcome, gents, great to see you. Thanks. Thank you, Dave, pleasure. And this is a totally worthwhile cause that all the tech industry can rally around to help pediatric cancer and help these kids and also of course progress general cancer research because what helps with the kids will help with everyone else as well. Yeah, Stiney now because you play music and what do you sing? Yeah, I do. As a matter of fact, I've been on some songs you probably wouldn't know that I've done under pseudonyms for other artists that you've probably heard on the radio. Actually, one of my bands is gonna be performing here as well, although I'd say in all the bands I've been in over the years, probably half of them I've done lead vocals, most of the others I've done some backing vocals. So you'll get to see me do some live vocals with the house band for the karaoke competition. Then you just get to see me play some keyboards with my band afterwards. Awesome, I love it. Now, some of the other guys that you'll be competing against, Steve Duplesse is stepping up and of course he's been touched in his life personally. Nathan Hall from Pure Storage, obviously Ken Steinhardt, George Hope who's with HPE and Joe LeMay. He was an inventor and an investor. And of course, the man, Chris Lynch, who we see, I gotta ask you, Kenny, Chris last year, I don't know, sure was singing. It was more like yelling, but maybe that's pretty effective, what do you think? Hey, it's all about stage presence. I heard he's gonna be doing an obscure punk classic that's actually one of my favorites, which is pretty impressive. And some of these other guys you mentioned, not just Nathan and George, I've seen them perform before. These guys are the real deal. They can sing as can Bob Womback. Bob was actually in a band with me back a little over 10 years ago. So not only are these people well known in the tech field, but they're actually some pretty good performers. Katie Curtin-Mestri is performing as well. Super smart. I'll bet she's gonna bring it. And you mentioned Steve Duplessy. I've not seen Steve sing, but anybody that's ever seen Steve on stage knows he is definitely an A-list performer. And so he's certainly gonna bring it as well. No doubt. I'm sure I'll bring a few jokes along as well. Great guy. And Eric, you personally touched at least, somewhat directly with pediatric cancer. But talk about your experiences there. Sure. Your sister used to be an oncological pediatric cancer nurse at Stanford University Hospital for 15 years. So she would talk about how stressful it was. Obviously, many of us have been touched. My grandmother and my great-uncle also both died of cancer. But when you're seeing these young kids suffer with it, and again, all the research that gets done, whether you're young, in the middle, or old, benefits everybody who ends up having cancer. So this is an important thing that's touched me twice, obviously, with my sister being a pediatric cancer nurse for 15 years. And then, of course, my grandmother and my great-uncle both dying of cancer as well. So this is a really worthwhile cause. And while all of us people in tech compete, several of the people that are on stage are actually competitors of Infinidad. We're putting that aside in rallying here to help these children, help the research, and help raise money for a very worthy cause. Yes, the day after we'll all be competing. But for that day, and of course, remember, you don't have to attend the event. Tickets are available. But if you just want to donate because you can't attend or you're not close enough to the Canberra area to attend, they are all taking donations on the TechTekkels Cancer website. We encourage everyone, whether you can attend the show, which is going to be great. But even if you can, this is a really worthwhile cause to donate to. And we really appreciate your help in this effort. Excellent. Thank you, Eric and Kenny. Kenny, good luck at the competition. I know you'll be, I will be there. I got another meeting. I'm going to head over, cheer you guys on. So thanks for doing this, man. Fabulous. It'll be a pleasure. As a matter of fact, I should mention on that concept of all of us working together, the Pure House Band Stage 8 is going to be performing as well, which is kind of cool. Nathan's a part of that. Oh, fantastic. Okay, June 21st in Cambridge at the Sinclair, if you want to attend Face to Face, techtacklesx.org, whatever you could donate, 50 bucks, 100 bucks, whatever little bit helps, we'll see you there, June 21st in Cambridge at the Sinclair. Thanks everybody.
