AppleStore Belfast Grand Opening

I've been to Apple Stores before. One in Glasgow, the Regent Street store in London and two in Florida, The Mall at Millennia and the Florida Mall. The American ones were always very handy for getting the iPods at a good price with the exchange rate. However, I was always envious of the lack of local software, particularly games. Actually, I don't really play games. Things like Halo and Medal of Honour make me sick. Literally and physically. I stretch to Age of Empires and that is generally my limit, but getting games has always been a local issue.
So, we dropped the ladies off to the School of Music and my son and I drifted off down to the opening for around 9.20am. I expected a wee bit of a queue, I promised that if anyone "High-Fived" me I would slap them and I was hoping for a bit of excitement and of course, the free T-Shirt. No plans to buy, just to look and be happy that employment was being brought to Northern Ireland and choice. The pics are above.
I got more than I bargained for. Met some old friends and a couple of new ones, but more interestingly the place was overwhelmed with people. I was not expecting it to be this busy. Queued up on the ground floor and eventually headed up to the main entrance. I will post some more on this later, I am all blogged out and if I don't do some stuff around the house I will be beat severely. One thing is for sure, by no means was this a damp squib. This is really exciting.
Anyone else there?
