There was a sign up saying they will be open at 10am tomorrow as planned. No one was camping out yet, but it was only 6pm. We'll see how early I get there, but I guess I'll shoot for 8am. That should give plenty of time to socialize with people in line before we all go inside and put on headphones :-) Maybe we can play "stump the genius". Anyone going to blog while they camp out? URLs? I went by this evening, and they looked ready except they were adjusting the main door and needed to sweep the front walk.

Is 0800 early? I drove by yesterday and the mall was crowded. There was lots of traffic and enough cars in the parking lot that you couldn't tell it wasn't open yet. They had security guards directing traffic. It will probably be easiest to park behind the store on the east side of the mall. There is a big lot there. - Duffey I’ll be there bright and early.

Hopefully I can get there closer 7, but that's up to the wife's abilty to wake up with me (she's enthusiastic for the store, but I don't know if she's 7 am enthusiastic).

It has also been said that Lubbock is an excellent retail testing ground, a massive new retail project is in the works on the west side of town (called Canyon West), city population of 210,000, and of course a state university right there. Why not? It drives me nuts that the nearest store is east Texas (or now New Mexico)... no choice but the crummy Comp USA here. Anyway... I'll keep dreaming.
