No theatre?? Has there ever been a 1 floor retail space with the softseater?? I was hoping they would have the 2 floor job for the presentations.

H!

The Palo Alto Store is one floor and about the same size. They've got space in the back for presentations/seating. Same thing in Atlanta, GA. I'm sure that they are going to have the full deal for the first Canadian store as well.

Hope so. That will be the hottest part

H!

 

[Ohenri]

10% Card?? How long is that good for?? I think that I might be in on the overnighter.

wow. That's a hot loot bag. I'm so in.

H!

 

[Ohenri]

Well, I was there yesterday, and I sawe no signage whatsoever, but i did catch someone working inside - sorry, but the shots were taken with the stealth 6230.

someone had a 15" sitting there...

There's a chance that i go back in there sometime today. I'll look for signage if I do. Looks like we won't have the anticipated softseater (@ least I was looking fwd to it). Not from what I can gather anyhow...

H!

Amazing work agent gmark2000. We look fwd to your safe return...



H!

 

[Ohenri]

It's OFFICIAL

Indeed. just got the email:

 

[Ohenri]

Wow...

no loot bag???!?! Say it ain't so....

Hmmm.... Have the loot bags been advertised in the past?? Man, this might not be worth camping out indeed. That needs to be investigated and confirmed as well.

H!

 

[Ohenri]

....I have to take a Go Bus to get to Yorkdale, so I hope I get there early enough.

uh oh... You might be in a bind. You may want to check ahead of time, as I'm positive that they'll be running on lighter sched, as I think a friend was 1nce caught in a similar dilemma.

** HEY **

Who from downtown is going?? Car pooling anyone??

H!

 

[Ohenri]

wow...

this is getting nutty. So here's an idea:

Can someone suggest a possible ehMac identifier that we could all wear/have so that the few of us @ the opening could @ least meet in person?? Or even throughout the day? Anyone have some creative ideas?? Let's make some press here!

How about: ehMacians go in holding an apple - so that we know it's one of us. Maybe a specific kind??

** BTW **

This thread has seen 40k+ pages views... and counting. Amazing.

H!

 

[Ohenri]

somebody make a fullpage landscape Eh Mac pdf file, then we can all go, get T-shirt transfers, and make t-shirts

I thought of that of course, but you then have a T that you must buy @ $5-$10, then get that transfer paper, print it and iron it.

You then have to show it off. GTA has been no warmer than brisk @ night. And we have a temp of 5 Celsius on the horizon. Will rise fer sure, but you have to take your coat off etc... AND, I just picked up and brand new cold.

Not sure. Who else is in on this T thing?

H!

 

[Ohenri]

I believe there was talk of holding an apple (the kind you eat), but nothing really has been said since that post.

Man, I guess no one's in for that idea. Just thought that it was nice and cheap, and just interesting enough to catch the press' attention.

Anyhow, I'll take one with me. SO if anyone sees someone with an apple, check to see if it's me!

** BTW **

Never thought that it would happen, but this thread will likely see 50k views before the opening.

wow.

H!

 

[Ohenri]

no grab bags? crap.

hardly worth ttc-ing up in that case.

Yep. I too was a little deflated when i found out. I was ready, card in hand and I was making room already for a BT keyboard, and trying to figure out which family member I was going to give my older iPod to. Oh well....

Will still go. Might just grab thatBT KB anyhow, as I would assume that there will be that very elusive sale on Apple h/w. Getting a iPod Photo fer sure...

i'll visit next month when it's less crazy

Nah. I love the atmosphere of a launch. Only happens 1nce. Kinda like when I was @ the Apple LV store when they launched the Minis, months before the did the international launch (can't find the thread I posted, but it was nutty!).

** HEY **

does anyone remember this?? a Nov 15th, 2002 post: Apple Store in TO rumour



Just came across that in a search of older posts. 2.5 yrs ago?? If they only saw the thread now, esp mycatsnameis: he hit it right in the bull's eye!

Btw, 50k views are here. It can't all be just ehmacians, could it??

H!

 

[Ohenri]

wow...

you guys are going @ 5?? I'll try to be there for like... 7am I guess. Will there be a big ehMac sign anywhere?? Hope so.... But 1st, going out for a few hours.

H!

 

[Ohenri]

Mos!

I will do my best to jump in the chat room as well as remind most to do so.

OK. Looks like I'm off...

H!

 

[Ohenri]

gmark2000,

As promised, I have your t-shirt dude!! PM your address

BTW, one of the Apple staffers (looked/sounded like a manager) was looking for you after he saw me surfing ehMac and the Store thread. He asked for you specifically! Was sad you were not there....

H!

 

[Ohenri]

It's a small store...I don't know where they get the 3500 sq. ft but, at best, it's right on the dot.

3500 sq ft?? Maybe if they factor storage.

gm2k:

Happy Anni indeed! We missed you man! I'm trying to compress this video of the lineup that i took on my cybershot after leaving the store. Actually bought QTpro just to do it. Looks like I'll be able to sit and eat before this vid is done, but I don't know anything about vid compression...

will post soon...

** oh yea ** , I will offer my T to the Mayor for prizing. He and Heart worked hard! He looked wiped when I left... Good work Mayor!

H!
