Black Friday...

Anyone crazy enough to camp out anywhere thursday night? You know what I'm talking about, "black friday" the day after thanksgiving with the mad rush sales going on and everyone opens at 6am. I saw that [H]ardocp has a thread dedicated to it with locations of campouts.

Since I'm on the topic, who's having the best sales? (and screw BB after that WSJ article :P )

I was figuring if I was to camp out it would be in the wilderness someplace- as far away as I possibly can be from the shopping frenzy.

That would be awesome... if there wasn't any traffic on the way there and gas prices weren't jacked up :P

According to the WSJ article, to screw BB, you HAVE to go and take advantage of their sales!

Actually I'll be here helping a friend prep a TSD car and playing with state of the art sound equipment, but definetly not shopping,

-did that this evening instead, some of the stores are already set with the sale prices and they all seem to be stocked to the hilt.

I'll be on gunbarrel during the day then hiding at the cabin in pollock pines afterwards. Say no to shopping madness. I've gotten 95% of my x-mas shopping done already, thank GOD! Seriously, is it really worth a few extra bucks to put yourself through the stress? Not to me..

I usually make it a point to avoid malls and shopping centers at all cost even under the most ideal circumstances, so no way in hell am I getting anywhere near them on Fri, everyones getting Amazon.com this year, w00t!

I've got to do my part.

Actually, everything I've ever bought at Best Buy has been at full price and I've never needed to buy anything with a rebate. But, they pissed me off quite a bit the last time by pushing the extended warranty so badly. After that article, you can bet I'll be first in line on Black Friday!
