Country Club Plaza Apple Store Opening, Kansas City, Missouri We arrived at 7:45am for the 10:00am opening and this turned out not to be a moment too soon (this put me 36th in line). I was unbelievably excited!

Me in front of the Apple Store, 7:45am Me in front of the grand opening sign The earlier folk: first arrival was 11pm the night before. The line to my right, away from the Apple store The line to my left, toward the Apple store The line around the corner. All in all it spanned over three full blocks. They spent well over an hour cleaning the store front. Rushing into the store, through the gauntlet of employees giving high fives Those of us allowed in the store, milling about, oogling and drooling Me & Tim after getting our tshirts. See my joy? See my death grip? Me with a mini ipod. Oh so light, oh so cute! Me admiring a new iMac G5 Me caressing the new iMac. Ooh, baby! My prized possession!
