Not sure if anyone responded to the original post about Appleton WI as I didnt read every post on this thread. I am from Appleton and yes, if you want the high demand items (such as laptops) from BB and CC, you will need to line up early. 2 years ago I was able to snag a laptop at BB by lining up at about 3am...this was just as the beginning of the BF Hype. Last year the lines started on Thanksgiving day. I would plan on lining up either late Thanksgiving night or early BF morning...especially if you want one of the high demand laptops. Hope this helps.
