Whether you're attending the midnight release event at Best Buy in New York City or not, you might be interested in the fact that they've set up their own Twitter account (http://twitter.com/NYCWotLK/) to document the event. It looks like it's getting some use earlier than expected, too. It's currently a little after 3 PM in New York, and the first two attendees (http://twitpic.com/ldnb) have already been waiting in line for at least two hours!
I think it's beyond cool that they took the time to set up this feed. Liveblogs (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/10/10/blizzcon-2008-class-panel-liveblog/) are some of the funnest things to read on days like today, and Twitter (http://twitter.com) is the perfect venue for it if you don't have your own dedicated site set up for something like that. And those early attendees? Okay, they're a little crazy, but I'll go ahead and give them props for it. Events like this don't happen every day, so you might as well make a story out of it. When The Burning Crusade (http://www.wowinsider.com/category/burning-crusade/) launched, I walked three hours in a Wisconsin winter while it was snowing to pick up my copy. Was it insane? Yes. Was it fun? Yes! If you don't have a story to tell after an event like this, you missing half of the fun. Go out and make the best of today!
