Hehe, this is slightly embarrassing to have a thread about my fracking article, but.... hehe. Awesome. :D

Now, KT, we all know you would have started a thread if Applespider hadn't beaten you to it. ;)

EXACTLY!! I was searching chron.com and pressed "new posts" at the same time! :p
I shook my fist and cursed Applespider's name. Dagnabbit! I wanted first post! :D

All this excitement makes me want to go to a store opening! :)

Not capturable in words, and fantastically nerdy. Ooo hoo hoo!
 
I came in here hoping to find out something new about the Cretaceous/Tertiary - aka K/T, boundaray (when dinosaurs went extinct). :confused: :confused: :eek:

j/k - well done Katie

I third that. I rarely post here, but I know what excitement there can be at an Apple store opening. I was at the 5th Ave NYC Apple store opening OVERNIGHT (Friday May 19th-Saturday May 20th) and it was amazing.

And on that already side note, here're some pics of me and then some from that opening:

The ones labelled "Shigg.." are me, obviously. I was too damned excited to take too many pics, so that's what I could manage.

Enjoy!

EDIT: To those of you who are watching this thread for replies and you saw mine and you got a 404 when clicking my link, it was because the URL was slightly wrong, and I had to update its DNS. It should work now.
 
Great. Once they have a touch of fame they're never the same. We'll soon see her trekking through blizzards (in Texas?) to get a spot on CNN, and in a year she'll have a talk show.
 
Wonderful Article! While technically I am not a current Apple user, I entered into the RDF a long time ago, and have been having my daily dose of the kool-aid since then. The Article touches close at home.

Very fine business Katie on getting into the paper! I have to say you are VERY clever, I LOOOOOVE your quotes. Good luck in life, and with everything you do and be sure to stay awesome!

Same here! :)

I've been to two openings. Both were amazing. The 5th ave opening was my second one. The first was one in my town. Let the good times roll! I have access to 4 stores in my area (the two in NYC, the one in my town, and one in the city of White Plain, NY).

What the @$@$ you doing here then? lol
 
Alright! Congrat's KT!

I can't wait to go to an Apple store opening. There's none in Nebraska yet so there's hope. :)

One day.. the cornhuskers need one, right? :)
Absolutely. The nearest one is Kansas City, but I've never been to it. I've been to the Chicago one three times though.

Sorry KT... but hey, if you'd really be on the ball, you'd have stayed up til the web edition published at 2am and posted then. :D

I hope it wasn't too bad a curse... if it rains at the picnic today, we'll be blaming you! :p

He refuses to eBay it. In the immortal words of Sean Connery on Celebrity Jeopardy: You're sittin' on a gold mine!
I'm just being a moron. I am aware no one would buy it.

Dang. I went to bed at about 2:30!
I'll send over some Houston weather for the picnic. Have fun!!

I was actually going to suggest putting it on eBay! :D

I'll start the bidding at $5.
