I’m back
And after a warm, snuggly nap in my bed I’m scouring my hundreds of emails from the last few days, reading my comments to the site (Thanks guys!) and nursing a case of sore throat and sunburn (we spent most of an afternoon basking in the sun while in line since it was 10 degrees warmer in the light).
I’m working on pics and a bunch of info, that will come in batches tonight so keep checking in! (if you took pics, either send me some or tell me where you have them up, or better yet, add them to Flickr’s IKEA West Chester photo pool!
When I left at 11:30 of total exhaustion the word was there had been 5000 people in the doors already.
IKEA gave us early line-uppers all kinds of logo swag which will be added to my “Look and don’t touch or I’ll cut you” collection.
It was a very cool day, I almost cried. Almost, ’cause crying is for wussies.
I’d like to thank my Mom for posting for me from the front lines. I got the coolest mom in the world.

I’m the one with the red coat and striped hat trying to warm up my hands. You can also see me when the people are going up the escalator. I’m coming in the door. And I’m uploading some pics to the Flickr site.
I had so much fun! I got there a little before 4am this morning. Really nice people in line around me. The girl with the Viking hat was maybe 10 people in front of me, so things were lively. I am exhausted, but can’t wait to go back.
over 9500 people exited the store as of 9:30 PM I’m sure there were at least another thousand left in there.
Don’t let her kid you - she cried (okay, welled up big time and wiped her eyes) while we were eating breakfast. She is a woman of strong emotions over things she is passionate about, and she is *definately* passionate about IKEA. She is one awesome person, and I’m lucky to have her as a best friend. :ikealogo:
