We waited in line for Steve Jobs all day today

alternateorg on November 11, 2001

10:00 AM: Wait in line for Littleton Apple Store to open
11:00 AM: Actually enter Littleton Apple Store and wander around with all the other totally helpless geeks, wait in line to see/use new hella cool iPod
7:50 PM: Skip waiting in airport-like lines and buy tickets at a terribly interfaced ABO (Automatic Box Office), attend ‘Monsters, Inc.’ at Littleton/Highlands Ranch supermegahyperglobalplex amongst all the teenagers for whom Ben Folds’ ‘Rockin’ The Suburbs’ song was written explicitly for

All in all, a good day. The Apple store was every bit as interesting as I expected, especially with a someone special close to Alternate working at the Genius bar. 5 free t-shirts, I might add. Although they are dorky and do say ‘Aspen Grove’ on them (the name of the mall where said store is located). Some of those people in line with me were just… man. Geeks to the fullest extent. But at least they were Mac geeks. Balding men wearing multicolored Apple logos emblazoned on black tees abounded. And there was a guy on stilts.

    I get a huge kick out of that Ben Folds song. The whole album is good. Because you don’t know what its like being male, middle class and white.
