It's 11:19 p.m., and a woman just got on the loudspeaker here to ask the first group of shoppers who pre-ordered their books to start lining up near the registers.
Shoppers who ordered in advance have pumpkin-colored wristbands (I'm wearing one and will throw a picture of it up here shortly). They're in groups of 50 or so, each group labeled with a letter. (I'm in group "I," which means roughly 400 people are in line ahead of me.)
Shoppers who just showed up today, without an advance order, are wearing blue bracelets. And they'll be the last to get their books.
The excitement level in the store shop up quickly - as did the noise - after the announcement.
