***Official Midnight Release Party Thread***

[Phantom_LS2]

Yeah, All the Central Texas Region stores are doing midnight releases with Dj roadshows and what not. When I worked there a few back, RGV and San Antonio District stores used to schedule Radio roadshows on Saturdays to promote sales. Thats what it seems like they're doing here. Lots in DFW area, Corpus Christi AND Victoria Texas.

Not all central Texas..... unfortuneatly. Bastards!!!!

There's supposed to be one in Austin, I think on the south side. Have to call tomorrow and find out for sure. Can't imagine any place in Austin passing up a reason to tailgate!

 

[greenrolaids]

anybody hear about seattle having a bestbuy event?

 

[Naughty#9]

the north austin verizon store is opening at midnight. it's on 183 @ 360.

I went into Verizon today to help my brother out with a phone problem...and then started talking about the Droid X of course. The lady working said she expects there to be some sort of line. I asked if she though an hour early would be fine, and she said "yeah, i would think so..." ... but the lack of confidence in the answer scared me. I will now be driving past it at midnight (just because I will be up) only to see if people are there waiting...and if not, I am getting there at 6:30 AM...

Who's going to the Verizon store in Columbia MD? I might swing by and tease all the people in line around 11. Haha

 

[Texas Tornado]

Hey guys! First in line at 6:40pm for midnight release! This guy and his kid just showed up... gettin a free docking station

 

[damstr]

I just got back from my local Verizon store to get a home dock and there were already two people lined up! I pulled out my X and was like "glad I already got mine!" haha

I'm still thinking of going back out later around 11-11:30 when the line will be huge and talking to people maybe demo of my X...maybe... lol

You should charge $1 for a person to play with it for like 10 minutes.

Good idea but more like $10 for 1 minute.

This was taken around 10PM? It still daylight! Its pitch black here. haha

I'm still debating on whether or not I want to ride over and check it out the line so far. Probably wait closer to 11.

TX is in central time I cant get to mine until 11pm at the earliest if I can talk my brother into going that early. We were planning on getting there at 11:30 originally.

Don't want to hijack the thread, but if I'm currently on Verizon and not eligible for a NE2, will I be able to upgrade in person at a store tomorrow? I am willing to pay full price.

Also, can someone respond to my main 'Logistics' thread in the forum if they know the answer?? Thanks!

Here's another pic just getting started with the cook off. They gave away a $100 bluetooth headset and had a popquiz. They asked how big the memory card for the X was and I answered correctly with 16GB. So I GOT A FREE Droid X SHIRT@!!

 

[Texas Tornado]

Heres a quick sloppy shot of the front of the shirt and the back of the shirt. I'll post a better pic later on

You guys are crazy, I'm all about the X, but I'll be ordering 2 from the comfort off my bed in 20 minutes then going to bed. I'll have it tomorrow and didn't have to go anywhere at 6 p.m. to stand in line.. Does the 24 hours you'll have it before those who order online make that huge a difference?

 

[2horses]

I'm jealous, that sounds like so much fun! Have a good time!

 

[2horses]

The website is getting slammed - so slooooow.....

 

[JrzDroid]

LETS BRING DOWN THE VZW SITE!!!
no wait, don't!

Its not that, I go to work in the morning and I live 30minutes away and its a small town of only 60k people so the chances of a droid being here tomorrow are slim. There is only a Best Buy, Corporate Verizon store (where I'm at) and a walmart. The best buy only had enough to satisfy a handfull of pre-orders. The Walmart store only has 1!!! So this store is really the only store with 20+ Droids within a 150mile radius. Also I think its worth it cuz I won a sweet Droid X T-shirt and I have a chance to win another Blue Tooth Headset

By the time I get off work tomorrow at 6pm, I'm sure there won't be any more droids left in this town till next week So there...

 

[2horses]

Besides, it's fun!

 

[lesscryptic2]

i dont know why it didnt occur to me to find one of these within driving distance instead of getting up ass early tomorrow

anyone know of one in northern virginia? might give it a shot honestly

 

[Texas Tornado]

Well since I couldn't win another shirt, I gave my wife the answer to another pop quiz question and we got a second shirt! Who wants to buy it!? Lol
