I wouldn't call you a "determined" individual; I'd call you a lunatic. Why would any person of sound mind camp that far ahead out for a stupid phone?
Got a tip for us?

But yours is an Apple Camping Crib
, but i want to see your setupThings I learned going to the Apple store today. I will put a disclaimer no one seemed absolutely sure but the last person I talked to (and I talked to an associate who had no clue what was going on, a manager, and another manager/associate who sounded most sure she knew what was going on. I forgot to check out ipod cases so I went back and that's when I talked to the last manager. She sounded pretty confident and I'm giving her answers but the other manager's answers didn't contradict hers at all).
1. Authorized user can buy an iphone without account holder with the account holder's SSN, zip code of account, and account holder's name.
2. They are doing it like they did the ipad where there are reserved ones. if you reserved one, you should have it (barring Apple not sending htem the right amount but they will have ones in reserve for people that won't be sold to walkins basically). She said it shouldn't matter what time of day I come in, they will have a phone for me if I have one reserved (of course I'm still going early cause I don't want to chance it).
3. I can actually pick up my roommate's phone for him if he can't come if I have written authorization from him to do so.

+1. Spending many hours a day on this site for the next week would be crazy to many 'normal' people too, yet we're doing it. Don't hate!

Are you ijustines brother? Do you have a shower in that tent? I don't think the apple employees will be too nice when you smell like a skunk on the 24th.
I see someone got a pic of absolut and posted it above.
lol @ Obama remark. Way to stay under the secret service radar. Or gaydar, if you have seen Obama in his tight pants lately.
Maybe to this guy, sitting outside for a week waiting for the new iPhone is an EVENT--one he would like to remember and tell people in stories for years to come. Did you do anything this week that you'll remember decades from now? Anything worth telling in a story? <3 this dude.
Heheh so must be some of Macrumors trolls....he must be more bored than Justin.
Actually yes that was me, I just changed into a different shirt. I'v also now uploaded pics of my camp setup.
lol.. not sure what to say about this...
the experience of trudging the lines is really only an experience if someone else is in line. otherwise it's just playing with yourself. which dont get me wrong, is fun for a bit. but not a week in a row.

Which pic are you referring to? I could care less about SS. Last thing anyone wants to see is O in his underwear. I would probably gouge out my eyes if that ever happened.
YES!
This guy is too legit if you clowns don't like what he's doing go "contribute to society" like whatshisface said instead of spending all your time on these boards lol.
jwagoner, have you gotten TV coverage yet?
Some quick pics before I head to dinner....
He has a weeks worth of clothing, a cooler full of water, his iPhone, extension cords, food, and some other odds and ends. He actually arrived @ 7PM last night. He says it was pretty warm considering it's still June. All the major news channels have stopped by to interview him.
Failed to ask if he had a reservation.
Asked him to join us here, he's probably reading the thread, but not sure if he will create a login.
Told him I'd see him in a week, he feels I'll be at the end of a VERY long line. He expects other campers this weekend.
Edit: Hahahaha, just noticed that Justin beat me to it! LOL

Actually the Apple staff know me well from the past 2 years as their first costumer and again this year. They've been very nice and have allowed to sit in the window waving to everyone during the day. The sun sets right before they close so i don't have to worry much about the heat.
