For those of you unaware of CES, it's the Consumer Electronics Show, and is one of the largest exhibitions in the US, with nearly 2700 booths showing off their wares.
Master Producer Jay Lee, Co-Host Tiffany Young, and myself jumped in the Explorer and headed out on Tuesday morning. One great thing about Arizona is that it's close to major centers like LA, San Diego, and of course, Las Vegas. Driving is not only cheaper (and far less stressful) than flying, but it affords the luxury of bringing a ton of gear, and being able to easily cart it around to the various hotels and ballrooms that we'd be shooting..
Case in point, here's Tiffany covering a nifty new gadget at a 'mini-show' held at the Venetian Hotel and Casino. If it weren't enough that there are miles and miles of booths at the show itself, other PR companies hold these press-only mini-shows. As they are only for the media, they're a lot of fun (and the free food and drinks don't hurt). The exhibitors are ready and expecting to give interviews, so we can get a lot done in a short period of time.
Eventually, of course, we have to get to the show floor itself, which is VAST. Here's Jay and Tiffany covering a new NAS product from Verbatim. I thought Jay's cargo pants and belted-tunic look gave him a definite 'Luke Skywalker' feel here...
Another great thing about CES is it allows us to meet all of our friends and colleagues in the media. Here's Andy Walker (with his shooter, Peder Pederman) from the podcast LabRats.
All in all, a great time was had by all, and we're all looking forward to covering next year's show... To catch our coverage of CES 2010, point your browser at www.neo-fight.tv over the next four weeks. Let us know what you think.
