Black Friday

...is nuts. 2 years ago I went to Wal-Mart with my sister because she insisted on buying some fake Christmas tree at a reduced price. Once she saw the line, she changed her mind. Last year I went to Kohl's with the bro, sis-in-law and sister. They stocked up on good gifts, but I just observed. It's absolutely nuts and i absolutely love it. People get crazy, greedy, and so excited to be shopping for exciting deals! I wanted to wake up and do a 5am Wal-Mart run again, especially since my roommate, Chad, has never experienced the early morning Black Friday shopping. While at Thanksgiving, we were looking through the paper (which was sold out across Las Vegas because of the advertisements!) and decided that Sears at a nearby mall would be a sight to see. The first 200 people recieved $10 gift certificates!
So, as Chad said, only in Las Vegas: We called the troops, gathered at the Sears parking lot at 1:15 am stocked with a George Forman, car plug adapter, hamburgers, Sparks, and 2 cases of beer. Our friends found a cart in the parking lot, we emptied the beer in the cooler, discovered our plug didn't work after all, and tailgated! Chad even called the local news channels to give them a tip about our hilarious night.

We were the 2nd car in the lot and as people started to arrive, we invited them over for a beer. We met some Japenese illegal immigrant and a worker at the mall

As we got our drunk on and the line started to wrap around the store, Chad got hilarious and rediculous. Yes, it even gets cold in Vegas


They started handing out gift certificates. The first ladies in line were PISSED that Chad could possibly be butting, insisted that they were 4 months pregnant and deserved it more than him, and called him a jackass. We just let other people get the certificates because we didn't really care to shop.

They eventually let us all in, the lines were so long, there would cookies, and we walked into the rest of the mall. It wasn't insanely crazy and people weren't fighting (so we kind of wished we saw the walmart crazies) but it was a rediculous and fun experience!!
