Expeditions with the Wii

We have had serious expeditions with trying to get the Wii. I called tons of places last night, and almost none of them were selling last night, so we decided we would get up early this morning and try to get one. We went to K-mart, and we were the first ones there, but decided we would wait in the car until someone else got there that we needed to compete with to be in line. So shortly later another lady showed up, and so we were second in line, but it ended up they only had 1. So we did not get one, because we spent 5 minutes in the car, instead of in front of the door.

Then our journey continued as we went all about the Provo-Orem area, looking for any place that was likely to sell Wiis. Most were already spoken for, some did not even have any, and then there was one that was not supposed to be open today, Circuit City. So after we eliminated all the other options, we decided that we would go to Circuit City and camp out, so that tomorrow when it opens, we will be able to acquire our very own Wii.

So about 3 and 1/2 hours ago, we arrived at circuit city, and set up camp. We set up the tent (which we were fortunate to actually be able to set up because there was a random cart full of cinder blocks), and ate a few snacks, and then Janardan started to take a nap, holding our place in line while I came home to make us some real food. In 18 hours, the store opens, and we will be the proud owners of a Nintendo Wii. I forgot to take my camera earlier, so I will take it with me later, but there will be pictures forthcoming. Today I told Janardan that I have never seen so many tents in the front of stores before. Now I am one of them!
