black friday
so joe & i woke up at 3:30 am this morning. why? to go to Best Buy (at Cambridgeside Galleria) at 4:00am. Why? To wait in line (until the 5:00am opening) in order to try to be one of the lucky ones to snag a $569 Gateway laptop (amongst other things). Were we crazy? Yes. Was it worth it, I dunno.
Well, this morning it was FREEZING (i think it was in the teens with windchill) and it sucked because we had to walk from Joe's place to the Harvest Co-op parking lot, where the zipcar was (that was the only zipcar that was available at 4:00am, all the others in the area were taken). We ended up getting there at 4:15, but instead of going straight to the Galleria, we went to SP first to get some decent cold-weather gear (we thought we would have to be waiting outside in this weather). Anyway, by the time we parked the car and got to the Best Buy (~4:45), we saw that the line was actually *inside* the mall (so much for wasting 20 minutes in going to SP...whatever)!
