Anyone from Santa Barbara have any tips? I REALLY don't want to wait out all night on State Street, but the first bus to get there isn't until 6:30 AM.

Santa Barbara doesn't strike me as much as a big affair with the early morning launch.

It surprisingly is. The Apple Store on State will have quite a few people lined up and around the building (most likely onto nearby streets). The good news is the Apple Store on State is pretty large and will most likely be getting a large shipment of iPhone 5's. I spoke with some employees and they said they rarely sell-out on launch day. If you get there in the morning you should be able to buy your phone. Just be prepared to wait in line.

Oh wow. Did not know that. Luckily I have nothing better to do, so line waiting is all gravy with me. Thank you very much!
