Saw this on the news a few moments ago. Two women are sleeping on the sidewalk at Best Buy a week before Black Friday. It's ridiculous how people can waste time like that. Here's a link to a web article about it, and I've also quoted it.

Two St. Petersburg women are first in line for Black Friday deals

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Two St. Petersburg moms are first in United States to start camping out for Black Friday.

The urban camping trip is something Tina Thain and Lorie Davenport look forward to every year.

However, this year, the ladies wanted to up the ante and pitch their tent early. As in nine days early!

"I really didn't think about the days. We really didn't think about it because we just wanted to be first," Thain said.

The determined duo are not just first in line at the Best Buy in St. Petersburg, they were the first in the country to line up for the big shopping day.

The store gave the women I-pads as an added bonus.

"We didn't think about that in the beginning," Davenport said.
"Now it's really sinking in that we really are the first people in line. It's kind of exciting."

The first year the women camped out, they were about 75 yards away from the front door. Each year they have gotten closer, until this year, when they snagged the first spot.

The tradition started six years ago when Thain and Davenport's daughters wanted an MP3 player. When the girls moved out, the moms did not want their fun to end.

While the women have their eyes on computers, blue ray players, and DVD's, they say this year, the shopping list is not a priority.

"It's a great time for us to catch up because we don't get to see each other with our work schedules very often," Thain said.

"It's a great time for friendship, fellowship."

The women play cards, chat, and talk to people that wonder what in the world they are doing. The two relieve one another and still make it to work. They also have very helpful husbands.

"Every year he says, 'you're doing it on your own!,'" Thain said.

"But when the event comes, he gets excited, and stoked about it too!"
