iPhones one through four will be bought by Brandon and his family. Brandon drew waiting duty in the family, and he and his sisters will all be on the family plan. The AT&T store folks said they'd honor the family buying phones as long as they were in line with Brandon at 4:30. So I'm technically number five, though second in line as far as actual bodies are concerned.
There's an off-duty sherriff here acting as a security guard, and he's super nice and helpful so far. He's waiting in his SUV by the curb. Nobody seems to mind that we're sitting on the sidewalk -- a friend in DC texted that the AT&T store she's at is asking them not to sit down.
It feels fairly safe so far that I'll be able to purchase an iPhone(or several). So I'll reveal where we're at shortly.
Update: I'm getting signal from a free Wi-Fi network nearby while sitting in line, so for now it's pretty comfortable and easy to get other stuff done while I wait.
