You've seen them, they come in hoards, they line the walls of local business into the wee hours of the night waiting for the latest electronics to come out. Common camping grounds are Best Buy on the freezing nights of post turkey day, Mac stores with ANY new release and lets not forget, the unltimate camp ground Niketown, when the new species of Jordans can be spotted.
Don't get it twisted, this is nothing like the Marin Headlands, or even Burning man where people get tents and sleeping bags and fight off stampedes of ants, bears and rocks in your socks. These kids risk their lives with cold hard concrete, cops, and predators looking to jack them for Playstation money. This is high risk camping. totally extreme. But hey, at least they get to play with the best toys before you do. So before you make fun of them, ask yourself, is your phone 3g?
I don't know that they are more awesome than when I used to go camping and get chased by bugs and coyotes, but hey maybe it's juist as fun. I don't even knwo why I wrote this. Happy iPhone.
