My plan is as follows: 1. Walk past Sprint store Friday afternoon to see if anyone's waiting. If not, go home. If I see someone waiting, go home, get my stuff, and come back to get in line. 2. Repeat step #1 2-3 times throughout Friday evening. 3. If I get to sleep in my bed Friday night, wake up around 6am and go get in line.
Thankfully, it's supposed to be really nice weather Friday night, so I wouldn't mind a bit of urban adventure, actually. I really wish I could set up a webcam pointed at the storefront, but it's not feasible w/o significant expense and/or risk.
