19 Hours Later...

We made it till the end - 6 pm finally arrived! It was very crazy at the store towards the end though. About 60-70 people lined up to get the iPhone and all three Madison TV stations were there doing live remotes. But we finally got to go into the store and see the iPhone. The funny thing was though that of the first 10 poeple to go into the store, Val and I were the only ones to actually go over to the display and actually see and play with the demo phones. Everyone else just went right up to the counter and bought it and left. Not that we weren't convinced that we were going to buy, but we just wanted to get a quick taste of them first.
Since we were numbers 2 and 3 in line, WKOW wanted to do a live interview with us for their 6 pm broadcast. So we hung out a bit longer after we made our purchase and did a short "post-purchase" interview. Normally I don't this excited about things like this - I've never stood in line after Thanksgiving to get a deal on a TV at dawn, or waited in line for tickets. We could have just waited a few days or a week and calmly walked into the store whenever we wanted and got the phone, but this was a pretty fun and definitely memorable way to do it!
We got home last night and I activated the phones, which was so simple and quick - it's AMAZING! We actually went back out and had some dinner after that, but then just came home and crashed. We were soo tired.
Today we're off for a full day with Angie and Jay for their wedding - with our iPhones in tow!
This all may sound like a bit much for a fancy phone, but just wait until you see it in person.
