(Excerpt) "Howard Street between and Third and Fourth streets was scheduled to be closed Thursday night and will remain blocked off through Nov. 23. The street will be turned into a plaza, covered in artificial turf, with stages for some of the 27 bands and DJs that will perform during the week. There will also be giant TV monitors to watch keynote speeches.
And to protect the plaza from inclement weather, Salesforce plans to cover it with a block-long, custom-made, inflatable tent made of acrylic-coated fabric, with holes covered in clear plastic to let in light.
In all, conference-goers have booked rooms in 90 hotels around the Bay Area Region. And there's a Tuesday night fundraising gala and concert headlined by Blondie and Green Day at AT&T Park."
