blackout

They just put up black vinyl over the windows and gate. The line has grown to about 50. Still no word of quantity, but somebody shared a story that they asked “what happens if there are 300 people in line?” The answer was supposedly: “Even if they buy two we’ll have enough.”

The iPhone Cometh; Haters Swarm
