The Los Gatos (N. Calif.) retail store opened on September 6, 2007 at 6 p.m. Clyde was the first person in line at 11 a.m, followed by Gary and Mike. The line formed slowly, with about 175 waiting by the time the store opened. But interestingly, the line stayed at the same length for at least an hour after the store opened--all the way down the block to West Main Street (maybe 200 persons).
