I was working for Silicon Graphics in Mountain View when SGI acquired Cray.

Cray is now part of Hewlett-Packard.

Ironically, this was Silicon Graphics HQ on Shoreline Blvd in Mountain View, CA where I had my office 1991 - 1995.

"Since 2002, the Museum has been housed in the former Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI) headquarters and executive briefing center. The project's architectural and design changes escalate the award-winning building's original drama by intersecting its historic use with immersive contemporary spaces that highlight the world's largest collection of over 100,000 computing artifacts and ephemera. "

Shoreline Amphitheatre was just a short walk north where I saw the Grateful Dead and others a couple times after work. No parking issues. Leave the car at work and walk to concerts.
