Heres the thing about the gifts... dont expect much stuff for free... not even t-shirts... this is a free event... no registration necessary... this means that there could be 30,000 people in each store... maybe they'll give out stickers, or posters... but dont expect anything fancy... and for the last time, the "give aways" are raffles... most likely not free ones at that...
I hope to see all of u long islanders at roosevelt field on friday

raffles...
lets see....
I give you a small amount of money in the hopes of getting something much more valuable in return.
Sounds like gambling to me - and in most states, that's frowned upon.

I may go to the one in Schamburg - anyone else?

hey, my first post - I lurk no more

lol! i'm thinking if i go to the SoHo store when hte vent first starts and then grab the N/R train up to Penn station i could make it out to Roosie in time to check out both events! Cannonball Run style!
Hhhhhmmm...
I wish i could go, I meen the stores are only and hour away and my Dad and Aunt were planning to go on the 24th, not the 23rd. I either go to the Short Hills store or the Tice's Corner store. Unless my older brother (who could drive
) has one of his sudden change of heart and decides to take me to an Apple store and drop me off for the night I could go. THAT WOULD BE GREAT! Or I'll just give him a $5 and he MIGHT take me... I wish I could drive! AH! only a couple more weeks [Sept 23 {I'll be 16!}](then I can start to take the driving tests)

Re: Wish there was a store in San Antonio (N/M)
Me too. I'll be in Austin this weekend. If only the 3 stores to be in Texas weren't in dallas and houston... Apple should really think about building an Apple store in McAllen... It may only be a town of 100000, but they're forgetting about all the international traffic... The shopping center where best buy, office depot, and a couple other stores are was packed today. There was even a bus from Mexico there. And these guys have money. They pay for computers in cash at best buy... If only the CompUSA could be seen better, or if there was an Apple store
Anyways, I hope everyone going to these events has fun! It sounds like they're going to be packed...

Cool games planned for parties
I hear they are going to have lots of fun OSX themed games. One involves who can open the windows in the store the slowest. Whoever does wins a copy of 10.2
Another involves a game of throw the beachball, but behind the curtain a store employees has a tether connected to the ball from above and it then mysteriously floats above the players and spins endlessly.
In the back of the store will be a big barrel set up for a game of "bobbing for permissions." Players dunk their faces into a vat of defective G4 chips searching for the G5. If they find it, they have to guess the secret password, even though they already have to give the password to sign up for the game and before every dip into the barrel. The winner gets 35 cents off the DP 1.25 Ghz as long as they also buy a 23" Cinema HD display.
Another fun game will be, "Find the working scanner" in which dozens of mac/scanner combinations will be set up in a row and if the person figures out which one can scan in X naitively, they win a free day's use of .mac
In yet another fun game, players try to type so slow that Word v.X can keep up with their typing. Unfortunately, the mentally retarded orangatang with no fingers and toes who's there for the party still types too fast for Word to keep up, so nobody wins.
The grand finale is called "Alienate the Users" in which participants comes dressed as aliens and hurl insults and slurs at all the customers in the store, and try to steal wallets and purses. The winner is named "Queen Jobs for a Day" and and gets a free copy of 10.2 which is only installable on a non-upgraded PowerBook G3 233 (no L2 model).

colorado guys
So none of the three are thinking they'll go on Friday? I also preordered X.2 but I'm kinda curious about the stuff going on at Aspen Grove. I really enjoy going there but as I'm coming from Boulder its a 40 minute drive. oh well. Oh one of the guys there, whom I just blanked on his name, oh shoot, anyway, he's really great I've sat there and talked to him for hours, anyway, he said the Cherry Creek store will be open by year end. Where do you guys think it will be? At the Cherry Creek mall?
I was also at the opening and there was quite the line, I didnt get a shirt though :-( Just missed it, well if you guys do decide to go, tell me, we should meet!
P.S. I know I dont have many posts but I've been here for about a year so dont discredit me for my low post count!

My g/f and I will be at the Durham, NC store of course
It really sucks if it IS a raffle because I, like all college students, am flat broke. Maybe I'll get a T-Shirt.

The Los Angeles store is about 15mins from me...And as such, I shall attend the festivities.
Its odd, but everything in LA is 15min from everything else...yet i digress
I'm getting the new dual 1ghz!!! It better be great, because the cost of it and a 17inch lcd cost me half of my liver, a kindney, 10 pints of blood and my soul for 3 months in the year 2036.

Is anyone going to be at the Plano, TX store? I have an audition in Plano the next day, so I don't think I could come up with an excuse not to be there if I tried.
