I learned this great info for Inauguration attendees.Best Buy is going to be available to show you how to send text messages and use twitter to stay in constant contact with friends. They’re also going to download photos and burn them to DVD for you to free up space on your camera for more flics. Great idea, check the details below.

Open invitation to attendees to get out of the cold and visit Inauguration Viewing Event at Constitution Hall

What: During the Inauguration, Best Buy is hosting a free, open-to-the-public event at Constitution Hall, providing a warm place to watch the event live on large jumbo screens.

Best Buy employees are available in advance of and during the event to offer free advice and demonstrations on how to use texting and Twitter technologies to stay connected on Inauguration day. With concerns over cell phone tower crowding at Inauguration events, attendees are being encouraged to restrict cell phone calls and use texting and other technologies as alternatives.

At the event, Best Buy Blue Shirts, Geek Squad Agents and Best Buy Mobile Specialists also can help with:
Retrieving and transferring pictures to a free DVD, to free up space on full memory cards
Optimizing the settings on devices for the best quality images.
Printing and sharing photos from Bluetooth enabled devices.
Purchasing needed memory cards, batteries, cameras and other last minute accessories.

Local personality and stadium voice of the Washington Redskins, Mark Kessler, will emcee activities at the Best Buy event as the inauguration pre-ceremony activities, swearing in ceremony and inaugural parade are broadcast live.

As a part of festivities, Best Buy will be presenting the Boys & Girls Club of America, with a $300,000 donation at the event.

My daughter Kristy Ross and her two children are there from Locust Grove, Oklahoma. They had been on the mall since wee hrs. of the morn but it got so cold they went to DAR. She said it was a life saver for the warmth. She was very impressed with what BEST BUY had to offer and it all being free. What a deal!

I was suprised to see a commercial event, but Best Buy did it right. The event was classy and I could download my pics to free up space while keeping my family warm on this freeeeezing but amazing day!

WOW!!! What else can we say……the employee fighting the cold holding up a sign to invite people into the DAR was an awesome effort. We were apprehensive to enter thinking it would be a sales pitch…..but we found a bunch of hard working, energetic and fun Best Buy employees………..GO BEST BUY!!!!!

Seems like this was a good deal all of the way around. I think everyone I saw that was involved with the inauguration or catering to visitors did a good job overall.
