Bang & Olufsen event in Tysons Corner

Not that I have ever been one to get excited about a trip to an A/V store (I can count on one hand the number of times I have ever stepped foot inside a Best Buy, Radio Shack and Circuit City collectively), but Bang & Olufsen is certainly not your granddaddy’s audio visual store.  It certainly is not a person on a budget’s audio visual store either, but hey, that’s what makes it fun.

Wednesday night, one of the many, many, many festive events in the area was not found within the confines of the District, but rather in ye ole Tysons Corner, VA - the Mall actually.  The super high-end, sexy, A/V boutique that caters to the wealthy and innovative, as well as folks who have just about everything except a $1,200 cell phone, held a fun shin dig with DC Magazine.  Nationally, Modern Luxury Magazines have a very strong partnership with the company.  This event wasn’t just about the oooing and ahhhing and sticker shocking (the most expensive item in the store was a pair of speakers that went for a mere $20,000 - sign me up for the five year lay away plan!), we also got to play Nintendo Wii.  Well, I didn’t, but a lot of other folks did.  Apparently, the physical game is very addicting and even more fun to do after having a few glasses of wine.
