I was #21 in the line at best buy. I got there at 5:45PM and was all set to camp out for 11 freakin hours for the one item I wanted, and then i got a phone call....

<dude on phone> Dude, don't wait out there all night. I will give you the same deal on that TV. I'll even put it aside especially for you. Just show up at this location around 5'ish tomorrow morning (Friday).

<me> Sweet!

So, at 8:20PM I left the Alpharetta Best Buy line. Like *everyone* there wanted the laptops. I and one other guy were the only ones interested in the plasma.

Anyways... alls well that ends well. I got the item I wanted, and another for a friend. Hopefully I won't be tempted to do that again next year.
