You have to keep warm somehow. They were a real nice couple but when it got cold and the nice Texas sun went down then they got busy. There was another Indian family in line and they thought it was funny. I had a good time since I knew what she was saying.

I would double check around Nov 2. Have fun :)

Yes. As long as you keep a good line of communication open, be nice and all arrive together then you will have no problems! If you have anymore questions please ask!

1. Football in the parking lot 2. Drunk man who pulls up and turns his radio full blast and passes out. 3. 2 men jumps the line at the very front and when my friend goes and tells them that is a no no and to get in the back of the line. The 2 men did not like that and pulled a knife on him. In return my friend who is a Shin Bet agent pulls a gun on them and tells my other friend with us who is a local cop to place them under arrest and federal charges are filed. 4. Indian couple 2 groups back having loud sex in there tent. I understand Hindi and I can say she was enjoying herself. 5. BBQ in the parking lot I have been doing BF for years and that is what I have seen. as far as food.....there is always the roach coach that pulls up........

Welcome to the community! I am glad you are here. I have a few tips for your group. First off I would all arrive togeather and set up camp. That way there will be no question about line jumping and such. When you get there I would try to make friends with the people in front of you and the people in back. That way when someone needs to go to the restroom then everyone would know the person leaving. When someone needs to leave for the restroom or a food run DO NOT go in groups and make it quick. One person at a time. Also you may want to let the people around you that you are going to the restroom or a food run. If you are going for a food run ask the people behind and in front of you if they need anything. That way it shows you care and you are being nice. If you follow my tips then I think you should have no probelms. If you have any more questions please ask!

I just stopped in my local BB and they told me that they will be taking spots Nov 2. I would double check your spot. I am in North Texas.

Welcome to the community! You have to make an appt with your PSA to pick up your items. if you want any doorbuster items like laptops, desktops, TVs or anything like that you MUST camp out and get your tickets for the doorbuster items. The tickets will promise you the item to 11am local time. After that the items not spoken for will be thrown on the sales floor for anyone to buy.

How are you doing RossMAN? You are missed. You did do a great job last year on the hotline.

Welcome to the community. Becuase of media last year of BF sites lines started early and will start early this year as well.

Welcome to the community to the both of you! I would not put all my eggs in buying BF items online. In years past servers have crashed AND people who did buy items got emails days later saying they were getting a refund becuase they over sold.

The tickets do come from BB corp HQ and there are guidelines on the tickets that comes from HQ. But as anything the tickets are up to interruption of the store manager and even you might have input from the district manager. Last year there were really no problems that I can remember. I hope this helps and if you have any more questions please ask.

You are welcome. This happens every year and I know a few people who come on here get caught in the crash and do not get what they want. If is always safe to camp out. I hope the IT community will take note and work on this issue that happens every year.

I know for the past few years servers for the major stores have crashed Thanksgiving Day and on Black Friday. This is a cool story and I hope IT managers will take note. http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/20187

Welcome to the community! I had a friend that did and he said that you need to get there around 1130pm on Wednesday.

NM unvield it's 100th book today at it's downtown Dallas flagship store today. I got to go and it has cool items in it. The link is below. http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/templates/F0.jhtml?itemId=cat14640731&parentId=&masterId=&icid=home1

Welcome to the community! They have no benefit to the shopper. They are used for tracking and inventory control. You also made a comment about research the items before hand. That is breaking the rules! I know your frustration about doing research. I am the type of person that will research for hours. The good thing there are alot of great people on here that do the deep research and do find some info.

I shop BB becuase there are no rebates.

No one really knows. When it comes to DVDs and CDs it all depends on what deals were made with the studios and what they have in stock. I doubt Transformers will be on deep discount. Welcome to the community!!
