[UPDATE]: Welcome Macdailynews Readers. Do you think it was just an oversight that there is no cut, copy, and paste function on the phone?
[UPDATE 2]: More photos Over Here on Flickr
Clayton and I are in line at Northpoint Mall for the iPhone. We’re like the 35th people in line.
Edit by Clayton: Because you know you want pictures.

Oh, wow, like, like, that’s just TOTALLY Wayyyyy COOOOllll!
Now, are you THE 35th person in line, or, “like” the 35th person in line?
Clayton // Jun 29, 2007 at 10:20 am
Dude, we got here and saw the line and I was like WOAH and Erick was like WOAH.

Sweet. You guys are frickin awesome.
Hey, when they say “like, do you want a free one too?” say “heck yea” and give it to me.

Are the Alpha Betas there chanting, “Nerds. Nerds! NERDS!”?

Did you all recognize anyone from the “Star Wars” line?
Andre Walker // Jun 29, 2007 at 10:34 am
You know, there is nothing worse than two guys sitting in a mall with a bunch of disposable income in their pockets.

Is Ogre there handing out wedgies?

This better not be where my campaign contribution is going!
Demonbeck // Jun 29, 2007 at 10:36 am
Ask Booger to burp. Hilarity usually ensues.
ugavi // Jun 29, 2007 at 10:50 am
shep - i’m with u there.

Don’t the phones go on sale at 6?
Erick // Jun 29, 2007 at 11:02 am
No, no. The campaign contribution is not going to Apple. The campaign contribution is going to the freakin’ postcard printer. Good grief.
You know, I actually am concerned that I need more votes than Mickey Mouse and the other write-in candidates.
Erick // Jun 29, 2007 at 11:04 am
Yes, JRM, they do.

Who’s watching Erick’s chocolate moose?
Where’s the guy dressed up as Chewbacca?
Romegaguy // Jun 29, 2007 at 11:44 am
Does the line also double for the Transformer movie ticket line or the Harry Potter?
Demonbeck // Jun 29, 2007 at 11:46 am
Harry Potter - Book or movie?
shep1975 // Jun 29, 2007 at 11:48 am
That does remind me…all of you who think what Erick is doing is cool, I’ll be getting a group together next week at midnight for Transformers. No Decepticons allowed.
buzzbrockway // Jun 29, 2007 at 11:56 am
I’ll confess I’ve waited in line at midnight for Star Wars, LOTR, even Spiderman III, but I really have no interest in the Transformer movie.
Romegaguy // Jun 29, 2007 at 11:56 am
“book or movie?”
Does it matter?
Joshua Patterson // Jun 29, 2007 at 11:57 am
“You know, there is nothing worse than two guys sitting in a mall with a bunch of disposable income in their pockets.”
They’ll be fine. It isn’t like they are at Greenbriar or Southlake.
TPSoCal // Jun 29, 2007 at 12:03 pm
Please tell me there is a Northpoint Mall in Macon, and you did not drive all the way to Alpharetta?
MelGX // Jun 29, 2007 at 12:06 pm
I still can’t get over the fact that you guys are Mac heads. That’s just so wrong, and a complete buzz kill.
Andre Walker // Jun 29, 2007 at 12:06 pm
Joshua,
If they were at Greenbriar or Southlake, that wouldn’t be disposable income in their pockets. It’d probably be money from their “baby’s momma.”
And particularly at Greenbriar, they’d probably be shot by now.
Erick // Jun 29, 2007 at 12:06 pm
TPSoCal, I drove to Alpharetta. I wouldn’t do this alone. Clayton lives in Alpharetta and the wife and kids are out of town. There was nothing better to do.
Josh, expect hate mail.
Erick // Jun 29, 2007 at 12:11 pm
Sorry Mel. I’m on my Mac Book Pro right now.
buzzbrockway // Jun 29, 2007 at 12:14 pm
Hey Mel,
I don’t use a Mac, but I do wear Birkenstocks and I have several friends who drive Volvos.
Clayton // Jun 29, 2007 at 12:16 pm
What I find funny is that about 100 yards away, Star 94 is having a car giveaway contest where people have to live in a car for a month - last one standing wins. You just have to live in your own filth for 30 days and only go to the bathroom when someone gives you permission. Oh yeah, and nothing in the car to keep you busy - only food allowed.
So all of the sudden we are the freak show.
Clayton // Jun 29, 2007 at 12:18 pm
Actually now that I think about it I’ve waited longer on a cancelled flight than this…

“the wife and kids are out of town. There was nothing better to do.”
Geeks.
Demonbeck // Jun 29, 2007 at 12:29 pm
Romegaguy,
“book or movie?”
Does it matter?
I was just trying to speak their language.
Donkey Kong // Jun 29, 2007 at 12:42 pm
If I had some expendable $$ I’d have a Mac also. Those things rock.

No, man, that’s called Capitolism!

If you speak to the sales rep in Klingon when purchasing the phone you get a discount.

[...] Yes, now I am in the millions that have posted blogs on the day of the release. I have read blogs that range from Woz and the Mayor of Philadelphia waiting in line for their phones. There is a weird rumor that AT&T has boosted the speed on their EDGE network. I have seen pictures of lines and people missing a day of work all over a phone. So what does this say about our culture today? Technology is VERY important to us. We have become a generation and a culture that not only loves, but depends on our technology. Apple and the iPhone will change the course of history with this device, or so we are being told, I wonder if that can be true? How can a device such as this really change our world, I guess we will find out. So for just today, . [...]

Okay who is Erick - The guy in the yellow or the white shirt???
Holly // Jun 29, 2007 at 6:30 pm
White.
Bill Simon // Jun 29, 2007 at 9:54 pm
The picture I want to see on PeachPundit is a picture of Erick’s (or Clayton’s) iPhone that has PeachPundit.com pulled-up on it.
ugavi // Jun 30, 2007 at 8:14 am
Clayton - Thanks again. Good seeing you guys. The iPhone did rock.
