The guy in the fedora (chris) was at Crossgates and at Tice. The guy to his right (red scarf) was at one other
opening. Both are from Ulster County NY. They were the first two on line today.

The mall looks very dark because it's before opening time for all of the other stores. We're also on the lowest
floor and slightly removed from the nearest atrium through the other 3 floors to the skylights.

Shirts are waiting for those who leave. The one on the left is an employee shirt. The ones you get
when you leave say Palisades on the front (with the blue apple) and say Shop Different on the back. They
are the same as all the other grand opening shirts for customers (except for the location of the store of course.)

The store got crowded compared to most. I think they may have let in more people than they usually did.

This guy has a MOOF/Clarus shirt. He said he got it at a 1999 MacWorld Expo.
