I have no idea why the first guy in line was there since Monday (obviously you could still get the phone by lining up yesterday) but the second guy was doing interviews to promote a charity. He wasn't great at promotion-- I didn't find out what the charity was, and his phone battery was dead so he couldn't do radio interviews. But I give him credit for trying.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Chatty!co-worker has summed up the line for the iPhone thusly: "Serenity t-shirt, Serenity t-shirt, Serenity slogan t-shirt, Apple t-shirt, hot chick with Lisa Loeb glasses, Serenity t-shirt, Serenity t-shirt...."
Yeah, yeah, blah blah stereotypecakes; it still made me laugh.

The hot chick with the Lisa Loeb glasses is writing about it.

I work literally across the street from the mall where Hot Chick With Lisa Loeb Glasses is blogging.
t edit From the blog:
We stood in line briefly before a security guard came to shoo us away. "Are you in line for the iPhone, ma'am? The line can't start until 9:00."
::snerk:: So utterly unsurprising.

Trust my rage
Living in PR is such a bummer. There is *no* iPhone buzz here. I see people saying they are sick of hearing about it but it's not even a thing here.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

ND, there is a thread over at howardsforums filled with people pissed because their iphone didn't update and sync.
Sounds like you didn't have any problems. I wonder what you did correctly that the others did not.
