Well - I guess I'll give it another shot. Last year, I went into work early for Free Day, so I could hit it right at 9:00 am (normally, I float in at around 9), after I had spent a while the night before figuring out what I wanted.
It was a complete no-go; the servers were being pounded so hard, I could hear them screaming in Phoenix.
Oh well - I took it in stride and didn't complain too much; that's just the way the day was. This time, it sounds like it might be more interesting. I'll probably still end up "shorted"...
;D
