Opening Day
Apple Store
#2
Arrived a few hours early sporting my original
iPod t-shirt and was among the first 20 in line for the opening of the new Apple
Store in Kahala Mall. Years ago when our first Apple Store opened, I snagged
pretty much the same place in line. The first guy arrived today around 3:00 am,
but spent a couple of lonely hours alone for the
honor.
Fortified by a yummy Starbucks Cinnamon Dolce (no fat, no whip), the morning newspaper, my U2 iPod, and the company of fellow Apple fans, I waited out the hours chatting with and taking pictures of other MacNuts. The obligatory Hawaiian blessing and dances provided a break in the monotony.
Attempts by employees to rouse the crowd (which eventually wrapped around the inside of the mall) were semi-successful, though everyone was a good sport and played along. I was among the first to enter when the doors opened, grabbed my freebie way-too-large XL Apple Store t-shirt (with "Kahala" printed on it), high-fived the employees who greeted us, then stepped aside to take more pictures.
I'd say the highlight was setting as many computers as I could to Rocky's iPod ad I made years ago, and watching the reactions.
