My Wii-Venture
Make a long story short: I own a Wii, and it was worth it.
So Jason and I decided to camp for my Wii. Well, we wanted to do it last week cause Best Buy was supposed to have Wiis on MLKday, but when Target said they'd sell Wiis on the 21st Best Buy opted to compete against their rival. So we had to push our camp out day back.
I got off work at 11PM.
We started out at 3am. We piced up some food from What-a-burger, and headed to Target. No one was there, it was completely empty. So we headed to Destin (neighbor town, 15 minute drive). Their Target had a few cars but from workers there. We drove by Best Buy, and someone was actually there in their car waiting. Next was Wal-Mart, where the guy working there said they didn't have them for sale yet. We had a good, long discussion on how stupid it is to hold onto something like a Wii for a specific sale day (he was cool, totally agreed and talked smack). We headed back to town and parked at Target. There was a few people at the door, so we headed up. Turned out, they were workers waiting for the door to be open. The lady who opened it asked us what we wanted. She told us Target's shipment trucks weren't gonna show up til tomorrow. How crappy is that? So we headed to Circuit City, who had Wiis according to the fliar.
We parked at Circuit City at 5am and just chilled in the car. I think I got around an hour nap before someone else showed up. We waited a bit longer again. Around 7 when Publix opened, Jason left for Publix to use the restroom. He walked past the other car, they had a conversation. That guy was there for the Wii too.
Around 7:30, a lady from Circuit City came out and headed towards our cars. She gave out vouchers to pick up Wiis later on, null in void after 12noon. We headed to my house to relax when Jason decided he was gonna get a Wii too, instead of waiting. A 30 minute wait at Circuit City, she came back out to hand out vouchers again. There was two othe people waiting with us.
We chilled at my house watching some old Office episodes until 10 when Circuit City opened. We were a few people back in line before we got our Wiis. So we're proud owners of two Wiis. Huzzah for us.
PS. Took a nap after getting it, and went to work for 3pm shift. So next to no sleep for me, but totally worth it for the Wii!
