The event will be at the Ala Moana Hotel, from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday.
Getting the big promotional push this year are the 40-inch, LCD Bravia HDTV flat screen. It is 9.9 millimeters flat.
The press announcement also talks up its Bravia KDL-52XBR7 LCD TV and its DSLR camera with 24.6-megapixel resolution.
The
tech toys will not be on sale. Rather, the event allows consumers to
check out the products that will be sold by Sony's Hawaii retailers.
The first 100 attendees each day will get free Sony Open tickets.
As
usual, the company will give away some electronics, including one of
those 40-inch Bravia flat panels, a high-definition DVD Handycam, a
Cyber-shot digital still camera and more.
As part of Sony's e-waste efforts reported in this space in May, you are encouraged to bring old or unused rechargeable batteries and cell phones for free and safe disposal.
Donors
will get either a water bottle or tote bag made of recycled materials
in exchange. Working cell phones will be donated to a charitable
organization, to be announced during the expo.
Eating out on Turkey Day
If everyone were a Ferran Adria, it would not be impossible to obtain reservations at El Bulli, his tri-starred Michelin-approved restaurant in Spain.
Not
everyone is an Alan Wong or Bev Gannon either, and most people don't
have an oven that goes up to 1,800 degrees for saliva-inducing sizzling
steak cookery.
Not everyone eats turkey on Thanksgiving either, so now your columnist can finally get to the buried lead of this item.
Gayot.com
has chosen 10 local restaurants as tops in Hawaii for Thanksgiving, but
it's more, if you count the four Ruth's Chris Steak House locations.
