How I Met the Prince & Princess of Denmark

7:27 AM

So last Sunday, I worked an event for CS. I went to the Chicago Spire showroom in NBC Tower for the unveiling of Bang & Olufsen's new BeoSound5. It's George Jetson at his finest (oddly enough president of luxury brand Georg Jensen was there).

Walking into your billion dollar condo, lights, AC and music turn on to your designated preference. Place smart phone in B&O docking station, and bam--all the day's entries are displayed on plasmas. Order dinner via the BeoSound's screen. Watch a movie without moving your derriere? No probs! The theatre lights and AC self-adjusts for the evening. What will people think of next? Well, one of the Spire showrooms features a hidden kitchen behind a wall of wooden doors that fold up into into the wall. Sweet!

While I was taking it all in I saw Friis Arne Petersen, the Danish Ambassador to the US. Oh yeah, and Princess Mary Elizabeth and Prince Frederik of Denmark, too! (See picture. The Prince was in a skiing accident. Also, apparently there was a bomb threat on their plane to Chicago. It sure isn't his month.)
