Boxing day - Victory!

up at 3:40am
in line at Bestbuy (1st 100!) at 430am with portable DVD player, iPod and coffee.
1st guy was there at 1am
there was a raffle draw for a $500 gift card, but missed that as well.
missed the doorcrasher ticket by 5minutes at 5:50am

I got a ticket for the 360 (thinking I might be able to pick one up for my bro-in-law), and a ticket for a crappy Toshiba 42" plasma (480i/480p only for $1500 ?!?)




Chaos in the store, Carts getting stuck in the aisle. I had a cart, but abandonned it in the aisle. There were just too many people running around grabbing stuff to navigate a cart. It was a near riot situation. When leaving at 630am, I found out why it was so Chaotic in the store. I think there was probably 500-750 people in line (they said the line went 3/4's of the way around the building at 5:45am, and they had let them all in the store by 630am.

I was about ready to leave, and headed past the DVD players thinking I might pick up a $50 DVD player to make my trip 'worthwhile' when I found the tv sitting on a shelf (sitting solo) in the DVD player / Receiver section.

Divine intervention.
