I like the Caution Sign one.

Keep the comments and ideas coming. It looks like I will be doing a test webcast in the next week or so. I will keep everyone tuned.

Keep the great ideas coming!! We will do a test webcast sometime this month.

I know I kinda highjacked someone else thread about the webcasts so I started a new one. I have been working on the webcasts today for this year and have some pressing questions to ask everyone. Please read, respond, comment and give us your ideas. 1. In the past the webcasts have been on Saturday night. Does this still work or is there a better time? 2. What BF topics would you like to see this year covered? 3. What do you like about the webcasts? 4. What dont you like about the webcasts? 5. How long should they last each time? 6. Do you like the special webcasts? (the ones we do the day a major ad is leaked) Please answer as many as you want. I want to make the webcasts great. It will be our 3rd year. Give us your feed back!! Thanks in advance!

Great ideas!!! Keep them coming!!

In some cities you cant have tents and most cities you cant have a camping stove or cook top. Check with the local store. If the ads were good and like last year then you need to plan to be there on Monday.

Keep the ideas coming! There is no Mrs. Slade. I am still very single.

North Texas........unless anyone wants to fly me out to camp with them.

I just checked the press sites for BB, T and WM and none of them have any posting about BF. BTS just started so I would not expect anything until after labor day to middle of Sept. Last year BB made the choice last minute to open at midnight.

Hi everyone! I am in Las Vegas and been thinking about the webcasts on my long walks between buffets. I can tell you we are going to have a new platform with NO ADS. The new platform will be 100% social so everyone can follow along. We will do contests and other fun things. I also got new HD webcam. I do the show for all of you. What are your ideas or thoughts? Post them here. I will do a test webcast sometime in Sept.

I am ready

Big Jim Slade Week

I predict more webcasts.

Nope....no theme song yet. Maybe that can be a contest idea

T shirts, hats, bumper stickers, posters and now yard art. Brad can make a killing off of BJS.

My new slogan.....Big Jim Slade....Bigger Then Santa Clause

Hey Everybody! It's Bigjimslde ... Gottadeal.com ....Black Friday LIVE (who miss that? LOL) I am here and alive.....I had a rough start to the year. I started a new company (which is good), my sewer pipe exploded under my house (which is bad) so that has kept me from GD. I will be here in full effect for Black Friday (as much as Brad needs and wants me). I cant wait for it to start.

No.......Here is a show flow on the topics they cover Open show with Black Friday 2011 and CEO talked about being forced to open early History of Best Buy and current/future challenges Interview from Circuit City's former CEO History of Geek Squad and Geek Squad repair center in the south BB being Amazon's show room and price shopping with smartphone BB in China The show ends

Last night CNBC had a brand new one hour documentary on Best Buy and it was great. They have tons of interviews with Brian Dunn who is Best Buy's CEO. He is one of the most open CEO's out there and gives CNBC alot of access. If you do miss Black Friday you can relive it as the documentary opens up with this years Black Friday. The CEO also addresses the early openings this year. Below is the webpage for the show and times when it will be on THIS WEEKEND. This is a must watch. http://www.cnbc.com/id/45553154/?__source=vty|bestbuy|&par=vty Saturday 3AM ET Saturday 8pm ET Saturday 11pm ET

Here is the story from my local news. http://www.wfaa.com/news/business/Best-Buy--136014863.html

So we jokes about this on our webcasts when the WM ad came out. I guess people wanted them. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2011/12/black-friday-best-seller-guns/
