Apple Store: Chain of Devotion
Would you take a day trip to Tokyo just to attend an Apple store grand opening??
"On Thanksgiving, Gary Allen and his teenage son caught a plane to Japan from their home in Berkeley, California, to attend the grand opening of Apple Computer's new store in Tokyo.
Rising early Friday, the pair spent the next 28 hours standing outside the store in the rain to be the first in line when the doors were thrown open Saturday morning. Objective achieved, and commemorative T-shirts in hand, the pair flew home the next day."
There is a video linked to from this article that shows about 2500 people waiting in a line just to enter the store. (10 blocks long) I knew that Apple was popular but not THAT popular.
