It's funny, I just saw a post on craigslist about someone going to wait at Valley Fair. You might want to get in touch with him.Anyone want to go to Valley Fair? I'm going to hit the Apple Store there Friday morning. Any takers?

I'm not sure how early to go. I just read a rumor about 500 iPhones per Apple store, which seems like a lot:

Going to scope it out tomorrow. I'm planning on going Friday morning sometime, probably early. I keep getting torn between thinking this is like the PS3 launch and thinking, "Each store has 100s of phones, relax."
Seriously-- I figured in Silicon Valley there would be more ppl on this board...
Anyhoo...
You going to go? Friday sometime? PM if you want.
Yeah, I keep going back and forth on how early to go. The announcement about allowing 2 phones per buyer at Apple stores makes me thing that there's going to be a boatload available, so I shouldn't worry too much.Going to scope it out tomorrow.

OK - Update!
Oakridge: There are a few people in line now, but the Apple Store employee is pretty sure they will get kicked out from the mall at closing time and maybe even off the mall property entirely. He also said they would be in at 8 and to feel free to call in to hear how long the line is. The mall opens at 10.
Valley Fair. Less clue than the Oakridge guy, but the store opens at 10. Mall doors tend to open around 9:30 or so, but see below:
I called Valley Fair (the mall people) and got much better info: Line can start at 10 PM tonight. Both the Cingular store and the Apple Store will have official lines, each at the entrance nearest to the store. Apple Line will be at the main entrance, by Lori's Diner.
As always, take all this with a grain of salt: one mall employee may not be right.

Yeah, that made me feel better (and worse, since now I have to argue with myself all night if I'm really going to buy two).
I already took the day off work, might as well go.
OK. Totally bummed no one wants to wait.
I just checked out Valley Fair. At least 15 people already. I'm going to grab some sleep and head there in a few hours. Anyone wants to meet up tomorrow morning, PM me with your cell.
