Apple Fans Sneak Peek at SF Store_

[iGav]

Several people have tried to sneak onto the unfinished store's construction site, security guards report. Not to steal anything, mind you, but to get a sneak peek at the interior.

I'll be there... but I won't be tempted to camp out...

I suspect they'll be a healthy queue the night before... like there was when OSX was released and Micro Anvika opened at Midnight in '01 to start selling copies...

I also remember the queue outside the Bape Shop in Soho when Bape released the Bape/Adidas Super Ape Stars...

I think we'll hold our own....

Bape = A Bathing Ape...

I can't say that the blame the Mac fan for their curiosity. I remember as a child I would like to visit construction sites in my neighborhood. Not sure if I would want to risk a site that had armed security guards. If it would involve walking around the perimeter, that I would be willing.

Am I missing something? I thought that the Apple stores shared a common "look".

I mean it is not like Apple did what Best Products did years ago when they hired a company (SITE) to design unique exteriors for some of their stores. See this link: http://www.metropolismag.com/html/content_0403/bst/

Though I guess everyone needs a hobby....

If Bape smells anything like 'wet dog' -- I'll pass.

I understand some Japanese, and that Bape stuff is still confusing me to the point of frustration. I think (like many other Japanese things) it is not meant to be really understood, but to simply be.

That is very interesting iGAV, thank you. A real shooting gallery type look, with soldiers moving around.

I'm sure that after bathing an Ape they would smell very nice. A dog always smells very nice after their bath.
