Well, I'ma gonna be in Canada until January 7th with my close friend, Michelle. I'll probably still be on IMers sometimes and periodically check my mail, although my flash sig won't get any updates 'till I get back. Sorry dudes!
Black Friday 2008
At one Fry's last year, the police had to come. The manager came out around 5AM or so, about an hour before opening, and told everyone to condense the line as it wrapped around the store more than once. So rather than do it calmly, it caused this huge surge of people leaving a ton of shit behind, people in tents getting fucked over and a whole bunch of jazz. Understandably, the line DID compress greatly, as people were now excited, however, it was about 5-6 people deep. A giant mess, really and somehow I ended up near the front because of how deep it was. Then, to counter-act this, I SHIT YOU NOT, the manager got on the megaphone and said "If your hand isn't touching the wall, you're out of line." At that point I went pale. I was against the wall, next to a small mother and her child. I had to brace myself because a shitload of people were pushing against us and would surely crush them. A few metal shopping carts got torn apart, one car got wrecked, the railing...
