Apple Store Gateway Grand Opening

November 19th, 2005

Okay, so at the risk of being forever branded a “Mac Nerd” I was about the 50th or so in line for the grand opening of the Apple Store at the Gateway. I arrived at about 7:30am, but the first person in line was there at 9:00pm the night before. I felt like 2 and half hours of waiting was “nerdy” enough. So the store looks great, the employees were really getting into all the excitement, and overall it was pretty fun. They started letting 70 people at a time in at 10:00am. I left there about 45 minutes later, and the line was about 2-3 people wide and about two blocks long! I took some photos, you can see them on this site or on Flickr.

    I did. I was hoping for “mystery bags” though.

    You big nerd :-)
    The funny thing is Brian when I watched the 10 oclock news they had a story and I was actully looking for you in the shots of the long lines. I had a feeling you would be there.
