200 geeks

So, went to the midnight sale of Halo 3 last night with Mr. Studmuffin (who pre-ordered the game--the super-geek edition with helmet :p).


There were like 200 other geeks there! Of course, none of them were in coordinated (but not matchy-matchy) Halo 3 tshirts or anything. There was a kid in line behind us.. I think he was about 11. There were also 2-4 police vehicles there at any time, but I don't think that they realize geeks are pretty subdued. There was also a huge box of bagels on the floor if anyone got hungry. The only person who I saw eat them was the 11 yr old because a big box of bagels sitting outside on the sidewalk is just a little too sketchy for me. Anyways, it took about an hour in line to get the game (we were there a little bit before midnight), but it was a pretty interesting experience :p.

I'm kind of disappointed that there wasn't a guy in the Master Chief outfit, like that had in NYC. (NY's 'Halo 3' launch was no riot, but it was close).

Brandy was quite the trooper. She stayed up so late! :)

Halo 3 or beauty rest? I guess there are priorities after all.

Sketchy bagels, indeed.

I took candy from strangers while in line for Harry Potter 7, and am still waiting to die from it....
