The Inauguration of the US 44th President Barack H. Obama

Barack Hussein Obama
44th President of the United States

The world just witnessed the swearing in of the 44^th President of the United States of America, Barack H. Obama. At 12:05pm EST, at the Presidential Inauguration he was sworn in and then delivered an extraordinary and very eloquent Inaugural Address, with emotion, strength, vigor and all that one would expect from a Presidential speech!

All will agree that some of his words were pretty direct and even tough as he talked about how “We must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin the work again of rebuilding America”. The Inaugural Address which lasted for 18 minutes and 10 Seconds allowed President Obama (doesn't that sound good!!) to give us his warm but no nonsense approach to let's roll up our sleeves and get down to business. President Obama had no problem letting the American people know how important it is that they are involved in this entire process.

At Event City we would love to hear from you about your thoughts on our new President and your experiences today whether you were there in Washington DC or elsewhere. We want to know what does it mean to YOU to have Barack Obama as our 44th President? Also, what does this say about the United States of America? Please send us your Comments by Email or by commenting here by clicking on our Comments link directly on our Magazine.

Here are some images from this historic event, dubbed as the largest event ever to take place in Washington DC with estimates of 2 Million people attending.

Here is just a sample of some of the products you will see at the Fancy Food Show in San Francisco this week.

CHOCOLOVE

Tucked away in Boulder, Colorado sits an unassuming building where a little magic takes place... Every day, decadent chocolate bars are carefully crafted using the timeless combination of chocolate and love.

Chocolove chocolate bars are available in ten distinct flavors that range from a sweet, creamy Milk Chocolate with a 33% cocoa content, up to an Extra Strong Dark with an impressively strong yet smooth 77% cocoa content. Tied to chocolate's natural counterpart, love, each bar resembles a love letter, complete with a romantic poem.

For the past ten years, Chocolove has been quietly developing a loyal consumer following in natural and organic food stores around the country, including Whole Foods and Wild Oats. In 2005, Chocolove began its expansion into gourmet and conventional grocers, such as King Soopers, Gelson’s, HEB and Bristol Farms, making this delightful treat more readily available to its ever-growing fan base.

Timothy Moley is the founder, owner and chocolatier at Chocolove. A tall and slightly eccentric man, he reminds you a little of Willy Wonka. His laid-back attitude, wry grin, and lanky physique would never lead you to believe he is a man who lives and breathes chocolate, and has been consuming two chocolate bars, every day, for the past ten years. Seriously. See them at the showat booth 4400 and tell Tim the Event City Network sent you.

Gourmet Village

Gourmet du Village from Quebec, Canada introduces 6 varieties of rich and creamy ready to serve dips. All you have to do is chill, open the jar and serve. Gourmet du Village have been innovators in preparing Herb & Spice blends for delicious dips for over 20 years.

You can reach them by email at sales@gourmetduvillage.com or by visiting them at booth 427.

SEE YOU AT THE SHOW!!

Crunchies II At Herbst Theater San Francisco

The Crunchies, which took place last night at the Herbst theater in San Francisco packed to capacity crowd of mostly Technology gurus and investment types (you know VCs, Angels, your run of the mill money guys and gals) who were all there to cheer on their favorite start-up. For those of you not in the know of what the Crunchies are, they are the Oscars for the Tech industries. Sure this event wasn't just another Techie's party, at least if you areFacebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon CTO Werner Vogels, Google product chief Marissa Mayer, Microsoft chief software architect Ray Ozzie, or some other Tech Startup or growing software company or Killer App. Right?

What we found to be very interesting is the amount of female participants, developers, startups and business owners making their stake in the digital playground of technology.

We have much more to report such as the winners, a photo spread, and an Event Review on the Awards Ceremony and the After Party - not as bad as last year but can still use lots of help!

Visit the Event City BlogaZine for more details on the Crunchies and how to be placed on our list to attend many of these types of events throughout the year!

What Can We Find at CES & MacWorld?

By Nolan Apostle
Editor in Chief




A few of my friends asked me how can I attend both shows at the same time, CES (Consumer Electronic Show) in Las Vegas and MacWorld Expo in San Francisco? Well it'spretty simple. At Event City we have a cloning device that allows us to temporarily clone ourselves when we need to be in two places at one time. We haven't tried three or more clones yet, we are still perfecting the "Double Clone".

Ok, ok, I'm kidding folks, no cloning device, just the world of online computing, have you heard of the Internet? Sure, that is how we do it, pretty simple 'eh? So now that you know our secret, here's a few things to chew on while we work on bringing you much more from both of these great shows.

MACWORLD EXPO 2009 - Slated to be the last MacWorld Expo with the attendance of Apple Computer Inc., Macworld Conference & Expo offers access to hundreds of Mac products and services, paired with expert advice, demonstrations, and instruction.

The 2009 event is focused on creating a Macworld experience based on your interests (products or services) and training needs! Whether you have a small business, work for a large corporation, are a creative professional or an IT professional, we have the conference content, special presentations, expo hall highlights and activities that meet your specific needs.

Oh yeah, something for you "Old Skoolers" to think about when discussing will Apple not attend anymore MacWorlds; how many times did the Rolling Stones say they were calling it quits?

What about CES and why should you attend?


CES, the Consumer Electronic Show 2009 - Wow, what can I say, CES has become the playground for anyone interested in anything electronic!! Unfortunately CES is not a "consumer" show, meaning the consumer cannot attend you must be in the business of reselling electronics or have some affiliation or are a journalist involved in writing about these goods and services.

Speaking of services, one of the cool companies exhibiting at CES this year is GigaTribe, a great file-sharing software company that wants to revolutionize how you exchange files with your family, friends and business associates. Visit the GigaTribe website for more information or go to the Event City BlogaZine for a personal invitation from Event City.

Much more to come on MacWorld Expo and CES.
