It is real easy, the sidewalk along the road behind the Apple Store (west side of the Gateway) you can stay there all night. I have for the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 and iPad. I always bring a chair and food and stuff and a extension cord for power. Sometimes people bring a projector for movies on the wall but I don't know if they are coming in the night again.
It is actually quite fun. I have nothing wrong with staying the night.
I would love to do that, but I have to work tomorrow
Maybe i ll just stop by and chill, i dont know.Disclaimer: im hearing impaired haha.
Talking this over with the wife, it will be about a 21hr. wait, and i need to consider if my Back will hold out that long, But what makes it fun is being with everyone else that has the same interests.
Ben is their Any problems with catching some shuteye and other "Spectators" that are not in the Apple line leaving you alone? And what about the Dreaded "Restroom" Facility's being available if needed?
Sorry for asking so many questions, just have to get all the info i can, Im not to young anymore, But this is something I would like to do.
I have a 3 part tent "1 Large Middle and 2 small separate tents linked by a tunnel for privacy" It can be used for up to 12 people "Mini Condo Type" i would be willing to bring that and even share with other folks waiting also.

You should just stop by, what time do you think?
No problem with legitimate questions, I have seen people bring tents before but I never have because I just sit in a chair or talk with others. Actually a lot of tents before I have seen. Because of the late launch I bet more people bring tents just for the day as well.
As for other people problems, not really. They alone time I had a problem was during the iPhone 4 launch when a bunch of people drove by and taunted everyone because they pre-ordered and got it in the mail earlier.
Restrooms, the ones in the mall are usually locked but not every time. Two options I have done before, the Hyatt hotel to the north is open to the public until midnight, I think, but I have gone there. Then the Radison hotel, which kinda far, is always open and I have gone there as well.
9ish. i need to finish my laundry. I will let you know. i ll watch your twitter. my twitter is same username here.
Hopefully it doesn't rain.
Cool, I'll update soon. Probably leaving in 20 minutes for Walmart to buy some supplies then off to the Apple store.

Yea, it is really Windy in Brigham City now and the Weather report says 70% Precipitation and a chance of Snow tonight with freezing temps.
This is going to play into the "Tonight or Tomorrow" showing up. It's so difficult to decide, Need to bring a Portable heater if I do.

Still trying to decide, But i just followed you on Twitter so we can communicate so we don't lose touch when you go shopping, If i decide to come down with the tent and all save us a section so we can set this thing up, i hope we don't piss folks off if i come in with this tent and push them back a little.
But since we are in planning this, maybe you can tell anyone that comes in after you that your waiting for a friend with his tent.
But most Apple Users in my experience don't get pissed off like other types of folks.
Lets keep in touch, I will tweet you and let you know.

Ok thanks. Would have come up tonight but my doc didn't think it would be very good for my health. So hope I can get a decent place in line.

Wow now I'm wondering if it's even worth showing up at 1 or if it'll be too packed
We will keep you all up to date.
