I personally think there's something in the air here in The Bubble. No one I knew "up north" would have even thought about going out to stand in line for anything - except maybe World Series tickets. But, it seems to be a common affliction here.
When Sam's Club opened, my neighbor who runs a small on-line type business from her home heard that they were offering special deals to business members during the first couple/three hours that day. She was in line at 3:30 am!
To me, that's crazy!
I've avoided throngs as unneccesary, too. They say 60,000 came to "see" Sarah Palin. I doubt that more than 5,000 actually saw her, and I'll bet they were awfully tired from waiting, standing so long!
