I'm planning on being there in the early afternoon, I don't want to risk missing out on an iPad. What kind of things do they allow on the Gateway? Can I bring a power strip/extension cord to set up some electronics, I couldn't find any information on the website. How many people are going to show up?

Hey guys, does anyone know how many iPads Gateway or Fashion Place are going to have? I wish I had the option of camping out and would love too, but just can't. I want an iPad and I am willing to show up early Friday morning, do you think that line would be shorter at Gateway or Fashion Place? And if I showed up at like 5, do you think I would have a chance of getting one?
Thanks

I want to go around noon Thursday but I don't think my schedule will allow it. I'll be there by 6:00 p.m. Thursday for sure though. I plan on bringing everything I usually do, like extension cords and power strips, probably just one of each. I went to Costco today and picked up a bunch of snack food that'll bring and be willing to share with people, for a small fee of course. If someone brought a microwave oven that might be the greatest thing ever. I would bring more food also.

I also just moved in at the apartments at the gateway so if you bring something that needs to be cooked I'm happy to help out. If I can score some food of course. Ha

We could also plan a massive pizza order, just have everyone bring a little cash.

The weather looks great for the campout! High's around 63 on thursday afternoon, and only getting down to 50 overnight. I think i'm going to try and get there around 2 or 3 thursday afternoon now.
