I forgot to bring flyers for the LCS to pass out to a decidedly pre-qualified market. I was feeling guilty about it, but then I realized that none of the rest of you did either. 2. Channel 11 was there but they might as well have not been. Their coverage at 11:00 last night said that there were "dozens" of people standing in line, not the SEVERAL HUNDRED there actually were. The only shot of line-waiters showed FOUR PEOPLE sitting there barely doing anything! No long serpentine lines of excited, chattering Macophiles, no wave, no chanting, no shouting as the door opened. It's like they showed up at 3:00 and left to meet a deadline. Sheesh! When you see something like that you wonder how accurate the rest of their coverage is. The one time in YEARS I watch the news and they certainly fail to impress. TV News<>journalism. 3. Lots of iPhones in the line, including the guy next to me that stood in line for his back on June 29th. 4. I was wearing a t-shirt that I got from standing in line at the opening of the Cincinnati Apple store 6 years ago. One of the guys that works at the Oxmoor store recognized it and said he was number 20 in that line. My oldest daughter and I were around 30 or so in that line. I was back around 150 last night. 5. I WILL leave flyers at the store sometime during the next week. j. -- Jonathan Fletcher jfletch at newmediaconstco.com Project Foreman NewMedia Construction Co.
