November 29th, 2002.

A few days ago, I got this email from the Apple store:

Want to get a head start on your holiday shopping? Then join us the day after Thanksgiving, November 29, for a special holiday event you won't want to miss. Starting at 6:00 p.m. sharp until midnight, we'll be giving away free stocking-stuffers and offering special values and good cheer for all. Plus you'll have a chance to win a 15-inch iMac.*

I decided to go, we got there at exactly 6 when they had just opened it up and everyone was clapping. There were a TON of people there, maybe 400 or so just for this event. We got in the end of the line and waited about five minutes to go inside. They gave us these:

At the bottom there was an entry slip to win a 15 inch imac, which I filled out and put in an Apple bag by the genius bar.
After standing around for a while, I ended up talking to a lady and I asked for an application. When she gave it to me, I remembered to ask if you had to be 18 to work there and she said she didn't know, asked another employee, and he said you did have to be 18. I asked her if I could keep the application as a souvenir, and she said sure. This is the application:

After that we looked around a little bit and then we left, and on our way out someone handed each of us one of these cool magnetic "poetry" type things:

I SURE LOVE APPLE!
