Hi,
Today was the grand opening of Winnipeg's first Apple Store in Polo Park. Yes, I went down early and stood in line... But, the first 1000 people (I figure I was somewhere between 200 and 250) got a free T-shirt, and a Winnipegger will do just about *anything* for a freebie.
It is a very nice store. I've only been to an Apple store once before; it was on our trip to Las Vegas. The Winnipeg store is bigger than I thought it would be, comparable to the one in Vegas.
If you go to YouTube and search for "apple store winnipeg", you'll see some videos of what the lineup was like. I won't link to them all here, but you can see me in this video below. I'm just to the left of the pillar to the left of the Virgin Mobile kiosk. You can see my head pretty clearly around the 0:32 mark and again when he pans back later on.
And here is a funny clip from The Simpsons about Lisa's first trip to the Mapple store.
Now to figure out how I can justify picking up a 13" MacBook Pro... yummy!
