3:40pm - two hours and twenty minutes to opening and leopard. Probably 20 people in line right now, no barricades or riot police yet. Does anyone in chandler actually know about Apple?
4:21pm - getting closer, the line is longer by a factor of two, others are geekier than I and some look to be blogging as well. Were in the shade and it is quite lovely.
5:21pm - riot police are, apple acolytes have passed out water bottles twice now, but its from sams club, not impressed. Too many nerds with video cameras taking my picture. Were moving across the street in ten minutes. Almost show time. w00t!
5:31pm - Michael and I have identified two people in the line as being from TMUG - Transgender Mac Users Group. Not sure I’d such a critter exists, but if it did these two would be in it. Some kid next to me is showing off his original iPod. Nerd.
5:38pm - weve been herded across the street like cattle. Moooo. I saw tee-shirts. I gotta pee bad but im holding it… Nerd in front is wearing a hat with
on the front and on the back. He’s talking about vista now.. I should report him to Apple.5:52pm - sunset was pretty, people keep walking by asking what we are standing line. Its awkward. I guess people arent used to seeing this many geeks at such high density. Some lady was all “its almost time are you excited?” in a mocking tone. Im tagging her for Apple to reeducate as well.
