Place : Best Buy store, Irving, Texas.
Time : 3 AM
Temperature : Around 0 to -2 degree celcius I think.
What was I doing ?? Was standing in the queue waiting for the store to open.
It was one of the electronics stores where the thanksgiving sale was on. Only for this day the stores open at 5.00 Am. Only the first few ppl get the best deals.
We had reached there around 11.30 PM, but the queue already had around 100 to 150 ppl. We planned out the whole thing. The only 2 girls in the group, me and jyoti were supposed to try and break the queue and join a group we knew [ thats cos ppl wont scream at girls for breaking the queue :D ] The guys were going to Circuit city, another store nearby, to check out the queue situation there. We played our part well and joined the other group in the queue. The guys split up, 2 in the same queue as us, somewhere in the rear and 2 at Circuit City. We stood in the queue for what seemed like ages :-( It was deadly cold. Hands and legs were numb, despite the number of layers of clothing.
Anyway, finally managed to get inside the store at 5. But by the time we had entered all the good stuff was already gone. There was a huge rush. All the stuff which was left was still too expensive for us. Friends on phone, were giving regular updates that each item was available for a better price online. So we did not end up buying anything worthwhile.
Ooooooh BTW, did I mention what happened earlier in the day?? IT SNOWED!!!!
Whoa man!! It was awesome.. I totally freaked out in the snow :D My first snow in USA. Was fun :) Started sneezing uncontrollably after that and caught a cold :-p
Though I am sick at the end of it, all in all, quite a fun day :)
