So me and 7 buddies head down to Frys last night in Fountain Valley, CA to pick up our copies of WOW CE at the midnight madness sale. A big local radio station is there, the WOW team is going to be there signing autographs and stuff so we figure we will leave a bit early and get there around 9pm since they said people would not be lining up until 10.
So we get there at 9 and the place is a fucking zoo. We end up being at around the 1000 people mark in line. So we hunker down, order some pizza and prepare to wait it out.
About 3 and half hours go by and the line easily triples in length. By midnight the line wraps around the enitre building twice and pours out onto the street nearby. By our count their are easily over 5000 people in line at this point. Here are some pics of the lines...
Finally at around 12:30 our line starts to move! We are stoked, but then we realize that the line is moving really really slow. We look over in the parking lot and see this...:lol
At this point we realize we are going to be here for a long time still. We actully get into the frys about 2hrs later at 2:30am and get our CE editions along with some nice conversation from the Blizzard designers and artists. All in all it was an awesome experience.
Here is the final result.
