Geek Force Live at the Boston Apple Store Opening (Video)
Last Thursday, I had the pleasure of attending the grand opening of the brand new Apple Store on Boylston Street in Boston. Gary from ifoAppleStore selected me to be one of a handful of correspondents that he would arm with a Flip Ultra video camera to record the festivities, and this week’s Geek Force FiveCast is montage of the footage I shot that evening. The music, in case you’re curious, is by Pop Bubblegum Trash, my old one-man band. The song is called “Six String Symphony.”
Apple Store Boston Opens Tomorrow!
The Green Monster has been peeled off of the Apple Store on Boylston Street in Boston, I have been confirmed as one of the correspondents for ifoAppleStore’s coverage of the event, and salvation arrives tomorrow, one day earlier than I’d reported previously.
Is anyone going to this? Want to co-anchor the GF5 coverage with me? Mr. Greg Tsiatis, if you’re reading this, I’m looking at you. We’ve talked in the past about teaming up for something totally geeky. This is our opportunity, man, is it not?
Boston Apple Store Opening May 16
ifoAppleStore.com is reporting that Boston’s first Apple Store will open on Friday, May 16 at 6 p.m. I just walked by there on my way into the office and it definitely looks like things are getting close.
I’m sure I’ll be at the back of a very, very long line, but I know where I’m going after work that night.
Apple Store Boston - Coming Soon!
I had a total moment of geek overload this morning. I was listening to Nine Inch Nails, thinking about last night’s new episode of Lost, and then I came across this sight: the scaffolding coming down in front of the soon-to-open Apple Store on Boylston Street in Boston. I’m obviously a little late to the party, as ifoAppleStore apparently had a post up about this yesterday, but I’m glad that I got to first experience the awesomeness of the scaffolding coming down in person, rather than experiencing it via the Web.
The Apple Store vs. Tech Superpowers
As we all learned in Geek Force FiveCast #002, I walk by the currently under-construction Apple Store on Boylston Street in Boston nearly every day. Tech Superpowers, a Boston-based Apple reseller whose backdoor faces the backdoor of the new store, has been providing webcam coverage of the construction since last year, and has today posted an interesting piece on the effect the Apple Store’s arrival might have on their business.
As construction nears what looks like the final stages, the mood at TSP is one of anxiety and anticipation: What will happen when the doors open? Will we get no more walk-in service customers? Will we get a boat-load of referrals from the Apple Store business consultants looking for a Mac professional services firm? Will the Genius Bar help us rent more laptops to people that have their machines in for service? Will this city block become “Apple Central” for Boston and New England?
Probably a little bit of everything.
I, for one, hope that the Apple Store and Tech Superpowers can coexist peacefully and that the local business doesn’t die out. I wants me an Apple Store very, very badly, and I haven’t been into TSP in ages (since 1999, I think, when I won a free scanner during a WFNX contest… was it TSP back then, or something different?), but I could see myself heading in there quite a bit as my iMac ages. Good luck to the peeps at Tech Superpowers!
