We went to the opening of the Salt Lake City Apple store this weekend and it was a blast. We arrived at 9 AM for the 10 AM opening and were probably between 200 and 500th in line. (The first 1000 received free t-shirts. Every t-shirt was a black XL with the words “The Gateway” and a white Apple logo on the front, and “Designed by Apple in California” on the back.)

We were told the 1st person in line arrived at 9 PM the night before. My uncle Kelly was 4th in line, arriving at 1 AM. His website, www.theeducationalmac.com, has awesome coverage of the store’s opening, with photos, video, and a detailed write-up. He and other early comers were also interviewed by the Salt Lake Tribune: Apple store draws fans galore.
