Best Buy Tent City.

This post is late in coming, but hey, nothing like some left overs. Dave Heinzelhas an excellent podcast featuring people from the tent city outside of Best Buy this past Thanksgiving. I would expect that most Gotshoo readers frequent Dave’s site often, but by the slight chance you’ve missed it (there was an excellent Skyler Duncan podcast this week also):

The only time I’ve stood in line for Black Friday was almost 10 years ago when I purchased a $40 dollar 56k modem that with rebates only cost me $5 bucks. Back then I think you left the house at 6:30 am, not 12pm Thanksgiving Day as the early birds in the video.

    Um…people were definitely camped out before noon on Turkey Day. I saw them at 8 a.m. when I went to Meijers.

    I see that my advertising dollars go a long way at gotshoo.com. It was between you and Capital Radio Group, but then I remembered that people haven’t listened to radios since like 1992. So thanks!

    As an added bonus for your readers, I’ll drop a rumor I’ve been hearing. Apparently Skyler Duncan is planning a reunion with his former band, with footage due out sometime before Christmas. You heard it here first.

    The video still before you press play looks like Coach Cowher was in line for some home theatre goodies…
