Rebirth Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 If only Illinois had Texas' weather, and Texas had Illinois' weather. There would be more campers in IL, and less campers in TX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we say 'comfy'?Thanks for the kind comments. Alot of people got comfy out there. Some had cots and beds. A group of arabic girls busted out a hookah. I would have taken a picture of it but they were wearing a Niqab and I did not want to over step my bounds and make them uncomfy. If you dont know what a Niqab is please look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niqab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snickstx Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 There was a hookah in line in Mansfield, TX as well.....I guess I just don't get it.

mrn8 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 How long were the first people in line that they needed to set up tents? With weather like that, I'd think a chair would do just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjimslade Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 Are any of the spots up front yours? Did you get on any pics?My group of 5 was numbers 6 - 10 and then we adopted 2 Indian women which I became friends with so they were 11 and 12. Since you asked here is Big Jim Slade in line. http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m207/davedfw/Black%20Friday%202006/DSC00264.jpg I look fat but I am not. The coat I was wearing was a ski coat to keep warm. My cover has been blown! :) How long were the first people in line that they needed to set up tents? With weather like that, I'd think a chair would do just fine. The first people in line was an Indian couple which were in chairs got there around 10pm on Wednesday night. The people in the dark blue and grey dome tent got there around 11:30pm on Wednesday. I got there around 12 noon on Thursday. The women in the chair with the leg cast next to the light blue tent we think was homeless and was sitting in line for someone. The reason we think she was homeless because she did not know what a computer really was and my friend who is a police officer who was with us told me he thinks that he has seen her in Downtown Dallas at the soup kitchen. We could not be 100% sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_Hancock Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Great pics!!! Wish we'd had that many shopping carts to work with at our BB, though. We used what carts BB left outside to make essentially a barricade for the people in line to prevent line crashers. We used the carts like this: We started a line of carts between the entrance and exit doors straight out until they were even with the concrete pilings, then turned the line of carts down the front of the store, parallel to the store, on the outside of the concrete pilings. Left plenty of space for walking, chairs, whatever, but absolutely prevented the parking-lot late-comers from crashing the line at 4AM. If you go to the link below, you can see in one of the pictures, and I know they're small, sort of what we did with the carts. Sorry, I didn't think to take pics. In one or two of the video interviews, you can see the line of carts we used.....just too bad we didn't have as many as y'all did. :) http://www.wrdw.com/home/headlines/4752916.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcster Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I stay as far away from BB on BF as possible. My first stop was OfficeMax on BF. We got there 5 minutes before they opened, we were 10th and 11th in line, and were walking out the door at 5:10 am with everything on my list. But to each their own. Great pics, Jim. http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Drink/Beer-Chug.gif With your description, it sounds like people tailgaiting for a Jimmy Buffet concert.
