Thoughts On Camping Out At The Apple Store



Yes, it's sick and pathetic, but I thought it would be my last chance for an Apple pilgrimage that's been a long time coming, and wanted the rabid tech fan experience. Consider the following sentences bullet pointed. I wish I had more/some black friends and if there was available ceiling on that wish it climbed higher last night, I was bookended by said race. A bro and I talked about movies hard, I think Chopper and The Spanish Prisoner are deep cuts. My new pal had Kiss Kiss Bang Bang on him (on my underrated of the decade list) for crying out loud. Apple gave us Smart Waters, went down the line, guaranteed we'd get one after real timing inventory (didn't pre-order because I had disillusions of getting a white one), and was super pleasant. I should have brought a lounge chair instead of a camp chair. One loud obnoxious dude can be wrong about more things in less time than I would have ever previously thought possible. Hello, intra-week fantasy baseball lineup adjustments can be turned off, e.g. Sportsline. I didn't know Apple Computer had a third founder. Ron Wayne sold out for $2,300. Other than that I dominated the in-line swag trivia, so that was nice for me. It was fun, not sure if it was worth it, but am sure I'll never do it again.
