Sleepover Grand Opening Line Party!!!

As a manifestation of my sincere devotion to Apple Computer and the Mac platform, I find myself writing this blog from a cement pad in the middle of The Gateway Mall in Salt Lake City. That is, I'm waiting in line with 4 fellow Mac fans, and a tag-along for the Grand Opening of the new Apple Store. I had originally planned only to come early in the morning, which come to think of it, would not have been early enough. So there I was, watching an incredibly artistic and visually stimulating movie, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" (highly recommended), at the very same mall, and found a line already forming at 1:30am, so we made an admittedly impulsive decision to join them rather than travel the hour's journey home only to make it again in the morning. I foraged through my vehicle and recovered a large picnic blanket, a couple of jackets and a pillow, and we've set up camp in a tremendously cold environment, not in the least friendly to those who wish to sleep. The lights are still blazing, the trains rumble by every hour or so, and . . . oh yeah . . . I'm FREEZING!!! But it's all for a good cause. I'm going to meet Steve Jobs, and win an iPod Nano. Won't that be cool?! I'll keep you posted. Thank goodness the Apple Store has a wireless network (who'da guessed?) and I've been able to write my messages, otherwise my fingers would be black and immobile at this point. Good times. I wish they'd just let us in. After all, the 6 of us are obviously the MOST devoted Apple fans in Utah!
