On black friday, there was supposedly a very good toshiba laptop deal at Best Buy. I was planing to buy the laptop for myself (Thanks to e-bay, I didn't get my laptop). But when I was going to the thanksgiving dinner, I passed emeryville BB and I lost all hope for the laptop.
I called my Japanese friend that people have been waiting in line and there was no chance of getting it (yes, it was like 7pm on thankgiving day). Then, my other friends called me and told me that there was a chance in Mountain View BB. So after the dinner, I went back to mt view from emeryville real fast (80-100 mph, unfortunately no cops around.... phew).
I arrived there around 11pm and there were a long line but my friend spot was somewhere in the middle, not so bad I think. My friend told me there is no chance of getting the laptop that I wanted. Because of my self denial, I tried to wait in line and hoped for the best.
It was freezing cold, even my 4 layers of clothing seemed to be useless. After waiting so many hours, finally the time had come. BB' people started to give vouchers for the supposedly "HOT" items to avoid fighting, etc, etc. I only planned to buy laptop, but I felt uneasy at that time. By the time, BB' people was yelling about TV, then I told him that I wanted the 32" LCD TV. I was afraid that I wasn't going to get the laptop, so I couldn't go home empty handed after waiting several hours in the freezing cold. My fear came true right after they gave me the TV voucher, the BB people were yelling "No more Laptops!" I was kind of anticipate that so I was kinda okay about that.
I ended up buying a 32" LCD TV and a wireless bluetooth (yes, the bluetooth was so cheap). Luckily, i didn't get home empty handed. I was happy when I turned on the TV, it was big and awesome (and the price too).
Next year, I probably going to wait from 5pm. Just wait and see next year =D
