Any tales from the road from Black Friday?

Turns out that in addition to my sister, my dear college friend was out standing in front of the same Circuit City at 4:50 a.m. That would be Jen, Chuck and about 400 other strangers in a line that wrapped around the building. Some of the people had camped out overnight

The funny thing is they both called me during later in the day- they didn't actually see each other- to report that also in this strip mall,  there was also a lone woman sitting on a lawn chair, bundled in a blanket wearing a cozy hat, she also appeared to have been there all night. And she was sitting outside of ...Michael's.

I sure would have liked to hear that a craft store had a line wrapped  around the mall but I was pleased to hear of that dedicated shopper. To that floppy-hatted lady out there- I hope you got the early bird special you wanted so badly.

Yesterday was Cyber Monday- the online equivalent of Black Friday. Let me check the reports on that one and get back to you. It was anticipated to be just as big as in-store shopping--Beth
