Geez, trolling in my own forums. Guys over at EverythingPre, pointed this out and thought it was pretty funny. Sorry, no embed on the video.

WHen they interviewed him, it was the tail end of my lunch break and I went to a Duane Reade across the street from work and it was REALLY pouring!! Good for him for helping his buddy! I wonder how many there are now since the rain seems to have stopped.

I'm out in Long Island and it's been pouring. Went out for coffee a few hours ago and there was flooding everywhere. At least they won't have to wait much longer. 7 am will come soon enough.

no need to have camped out...i strolled in to 59th street at 6:50 and was in my office, synced and taking photos before 9am.

Dang, nice friend to hold the spot.

Though, I really don't think line-waiting was all that necessary today.

Oh my! I called the store around 4pm tempted to go after work and asked if it was a madhouse. The girl asked if I was buying a phone and I told her no. She said, ah ok, there is a slight wait to make regular purchases but not that bad...
The small group of us off of Broadway and 43rd were hoping ABC would have shown pictures from there to show the crowd.

But oh my, the looks we got from people walking by!

Well, the bad weather ceratinly explains that guy wanting a Pre - water on the brain.
