We got at Best Buy at 9:10pm Thurs, Nov 23. We were 90th in line when I first counted (lots of people were missing), then it grew to 108 people in front of me. I personally did the counting. So when someone else counted, they were upset that there were more people in front of them. It was a conspiracy! -Not to me, I knew what happened. But to a few people, the integrity of the line was damaged.
The line was becoming tense and within a few minutes, 7 police cars pulled up! It was pretty exciting... until they left a few minutes later. The people (women, all women!) who were upset about the whole thing asked me to offer my tape as evidence since I went down the whole line of the first 100 people to interview them. I appeased their requests with an "oh sure!" But I knew nothing would happen.
Anywayz... There seemed to be about 600 people in line by the time Best Buy opened (100 in front, 500 behind). We made some friends, made some skits, even did some shopping! In the end, it was just a bunch of fun. I hope I get the video out. If not, your loss. Sorry.
