I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and its client.

The holiday shopping season can definitely be described as hectic so I find it very important to try and stay organized and get everything in as few stops as possible. One of the great stores I’ve come across this holiday season is the Best Buy Mobile Specialty Stores. These stores are typically located within malls and are a one-stop-shop for all of your mobility needs (mobile carriers, phones, tablets and accessories), cool new gadgets and the best electronics. The convenience in these stores is astounding. Not only do they cover all carriers but there’s no wait time (we’ve all waited forever at least once in our mobile provider’s store), options to schedule appointments and incredibly friendly service. Plus, you’re already in the mall shopping, it’s just a really quick stop!

I happened to swing by the Best Buy Mobile Specialty Store at my local mall over the weekend and learned about a great promotion that they are hosting, that’s almost unbelievable. The Sprint My Way Promotion is an amazing new student mobile plan to have free cell phone coverage for a year. Yes – free service. This promotion can only be found at the Best Buy Mobile Specialty Stores and is great for a first mobile phone or affording a mobile phone in school.

Here’s some details:

Who is eligible?
All part-time, full-time and vocational students (in US).

How does the plan work?

The My Way Student Promotion is a student mobile plan with one year of unlimited talk, text and 1GB of data ($10 charge for unlimited data / month) with the purchase of any phone provided by Sprint. Must be a student. No service agreements. An additional one-time $36 activation fee does apply.

For every referral provided, the student will also receive an additional 12 months of free service of the unlimited plan stated above. (Only student lines share free service.) Save on your mobile phone bill!

Check out the great phone options. See special offer – Samsung GS4 Mini for $349.99 (available in Black/White).

Interested?
Head over to the nearest Best Buy Mobile Specialty Stores. Be quick, this offer ends on 01/04/2014.

How Great Is This?
The Best Buy Mobile Specialty Stores are a one-stop-shop. Come in for any service provider. The friendly service will assist with questions regarding the product, hassle free shopping (they don’t work off commission), still have the same Best Buy purchase plans if you’d prefer to make payments on the product and can trade in your phone when you’d like to end / switch your plan. Smartphones are holding their value longer which makes this a great investment and savings opportunity.

The specialists are well trained and extremely knowledgeable on mobility needs and new technology. With the convenient location and hassle free shopping this is one of the most convenient and quick stops we could all make this season. These Best Buy Mobile Specialty Stores will be bringing a whole new spin to shopping for mobility needs.

Last Thursday, while most of the metroplex was hunkering down in preparation of the great “Icemageddon of 2013”, this lady was headed to Fort Worth to catch a show she promised herself she wasn’t going to miss. Crazy? Perhaps. Other attendees would say, no, just dedicated like themselves.

I arrived at The Live Oak just off Magnolia Street in Fort Worth. This is now my favorite venue in the metroplex. Small, seated (I think it tops at 188 seats), microbrews galore and the acoustics. Oh the acoustics in this room are some of the best I’ve heard in a long time. I found my spot three rows from the stage (third row only because the first two were VIP seating). Made quick friends with the group behind me sharing laughs on the cooky man sitting along the way hitting on everyone and “the best pick up lines” we’ve all heard.

First to hit the stage was a man by the name of Grady Spencer. Besides the fact hat Mr. Spencer carries a fantastic mustache, this man is a great musician! I loved his set and look forward to seeing him again.

Next up, Michael Donner from Michael Donner and the Southern Renaissance. Go ahead, take a listen. Both fantastic!

John Fullbright. That’s the man that I was there to see, to listen, to relax and try to get some kind of insight about what makes this guy tick. See, the key isn’t to know everyone’s entire book… it’s more interesting just to get little tidbits into what makes them who they are, what they do, the rest will make it all come together. John Fullbright may be one of the most dedicated and serious musicians I’ve run into in a while. He lives through his music. One of my friends has told me – don’t miss one of his shows. He was right. Oklahoma born, once a member of The Turnpike Troubadours and the Mike McClure band – this should give you a good root of his music. Don’t even get me going on the grand list of his influences. You’ll pick up on them. Goosebumps. I’m at a loss for words when I find musicians I really love. Just take my word for it, Google him, YouTube, just go buy his album… it’ll do you good.

If you happen to be within a distance to one of these musicians, especially John Fullbright – do yourself a favor, traverse a great ice storm, drive around a tornado, or just walk across the street, grab a cold one and sit back and be ready to be blown away.
