[wonga1127]

Im going to the Orland Square opening this Saturday and I was wondering whats in this for me. I know I get a shirt, and theres a sweepstakes, but is there anything else? And whats in the sweepstakes thing? Big stuff? Medium stuff (keyboards, mice, headphones, store credit)?

T-shirt and Apple store opening would be cool enough, what else do you want?

I went to an opening not too long ago. I got there at about 9:15 and it didn't open until 10 i think...there were about 200 people lined up...creatives from the studio interviewed me on camera...pretty cool. I didn't get into the store until about 10:20, but it was certainly fun and i was certainly one of the first 1,000 in, so I got an extra large t-shirt (the only size they had apparently.) there were also contests to win a MacBook and a few subscriptions of ProCare, but i didn't win. You didn't have to be there the first day to enter, though.

It was fun, but I could've slept in instead.
