I went last year, and while it is a free for all, I found it to be quite fun! I will be going again this year, probably starting with waiting in line at Midnight at Best Buy... I have seen some of the ads online, but tomorrow when I get the paper ads, I can start plotting my track across town! Anyone else do this or find it fun?
I'll be there, but I will be one of the hapless employees jumping out of the way. Fricken people nearly trampled me last year. It's just a damn Cabbage Patch Doll!!
Be a good little consumer and BUY BUY BUY!
Rinse and repeat...
Mindless madness.
Happy holidays!!!

Don Wildmon from the American Family Association is advocating boycotting Target, and shopping at Wal-mart! More here
God NO!
Very rarely do I find a good deal I want. Seems like most of the stores offer these brands at dirt cheap prices that no one has ever heard of it. And those old ladies w/ their shopping carts are more dangerous than driving in Boston.
Nah I'm doing the online thing this year, as much as I can. Amazon has a cool black Friday sale going on. Done with more then half my xmas shopping already :bunny:
I try to resist consumerism as much as possible. My perfect life would be a a Yurt or Strawbale House or EarthShip somewhere along the coast...with internet.
So, no, I am not shopping at ALL this weekend. In fact, this year my family made a rule that all gifts need to be either made, recycled or used. Kind of hippy I know, but you have to start somewhere.
I couldn't believe the Best Buy ad I saw last night. A Toshiba laptop WITH printer for $299?! Granted it's probably not the best laptop there is, and there's probably only 1 per store, but holy crap that's a good deal. ;)
I still wouldn't line up though.
Best Buy totally dropped the ball this year. We have a Best Buy and Circuit City right next to each other. I went into Circuit City first and people were packed in that store like sardines.
Then I walked into Best Buy and you wouldn't know it was Black Friday. I spent about a minute in line at the register compared to 45 minutes at Circuit City.
