ebony0421 Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 Oh my god, 1a.m. and all indoors. You get to stay out of the elements and you have a shopping buddy. :greenappl
treasure60 Posted November 12, 2005 Author Posted November 12, 2005 Hubby told me this tonight,,,he works near Portland. His co-workers were talking about it...so he tells me this while we were going back to the car from shopping at ON,,,btw they have a excellent sale going on right now. Of course, I was jumping with joy out in the parking lot when he told me...lol At ON tonight I got $140. worth of shoes, jeans, shirts, t-shirts, and couple hats for $23.
treasure60 Posted November 12, 2005 Author Posted November 12, 2005 I just went to the site and this is what it says: Rockin Shoppin Eve This is going to be a very exciting holiday season for The Maine Mall! We are planning to be part of the largest shopping party in the country! Rockin’ Shoppin’ Eve is a truly unique shopping event that will bring over 35,000 shoppers into The Maine Mall the day after Thanksgiving at 1:00am (yes, 1:00am!). The Festivities begin on Thanksgiving. The Sheraton Hotel will have room specials with a continental breakfast, activities, extended check-outs and continuous shuttle service to and from the mall. Standing in line for the stores to open will be in a festival atmosphere with staged entertainment throughout the mall parking lot, including performances by Motor Booty, Don Campbell and Robert Washington (renowned Elvis impersonator), prize giveaways, food and fun! The party continues at 1:00am with store discounts, giveaways, prize drawings, sampling and live entertainment, local radio and television personalities, exclusive first look discounts and valuable shopping coupons, as well as hot giveaways and prize drawings. There will be gifts with purchase, free gift wrapping and other surprises too!
erh12275 Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 That's so cool. Are they going to post this in the paper or something. Because I am betting if they don't that a lot of people are going to be very disappointed when they show up at 2 or 3 and everything is gone.
treasure60 Posted November 12, 2005 Author Posted November 12, 2005 I believe it has been posted in the papers or on the radio already. People in the outer towns are talking about it. I live about 35 mins. away from there. I will have to take a really long nap after coming back from my son's on Thanksgiving....like at 6pm until 11pm. My DIL is so excited about this...she has never been to a BF before.
sperdue Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 I wish the malls here would do something like that! What the heck, just not even go to bed Tday and head straight to compusa and then the mall. That would be awesome. And entertainment?!? What more could a gal want!?!?
treasure60 Posted November 12, 2005 Author Posted November 12, 2005 I can't sleep because I am still excited about hearing this tonight...don't know why hubby waited to tell me....8pm when he was home early today at 2pm. And I know it is going to be crazy,,,but that is going to be the fun part watching my DIL experience this for the first time. Good thing it is a long weekend...I have to start concentrating on studying for my mid-terms after BF.
RossMAN Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 I can't sleep because I am still excited about hearing this tonightLOL I can't sleep either although I should!

peachysquirt21 Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 I went to our mall website to see if they have the holiday hours posted & they wont be opened till 7am on BF so now 1am shopping for me. LOL
erh12275 Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 LOL I can't sleep either although I should!Me neither but it's because my almost 11 month old won't let me. She decided that 11 was a good time to wake up and play and is still going strong at 1.
erh12275 Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 I live in the other Portland ... the better Portland, Oregon Well, I don't know about it being better but it is sure closer to me than Maine is.

motoXmom Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 What time do you plan on getting there? Man I'm jealous too! I wish ours would do things like this.
Gporter34 Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 Well, I will be thinking of you!lol At 1am I will be in our WM running the aisles for the items that are already out. Here they usually have all of the big stuff out after midnight. The sewing machines, tvs, and clothes will already be out. Then I will be fighting my way into electronics for the laptop, the portable dvd player, and the rest of it. Mom's after the toys this year so she got off easy, lol.
wildtama Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 How very cool! That would so rock! Heck, you could be done in a few hours, grab a cat nap and head to the next town for when the "normal" hours start at 6! :)
Mommie2one Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 All the stores in my area is 5am. This is my first BF, but Im told its crowded. So I'll be lining up when you get to shop
