Well, I can say now that I've been to a Mac "event". It was fun. My wife thought I was a total dork (she might be onto something). The fun part was listening to the non-mac people walking by and commenting on people waiting in line.
Here are a few photos. Not great quality and thrown up, but I've already used up my free time today... off to play with the kids.

Apple's main interest in a raleigh store is that while Durham has capitalized upon RDU retail shoppers since about 2002, Raleigh wants to take the pie back. There is a new high rise being built right next to the mall, and the North Raleigh SUV-driving soccer moms no longer have to trudge 40 in heavy traffic and risk killing someone because they failed to stop to get the kids iPod fixed so they'll hush :)
This store will be about 6 miles from my home, and if the staff is better than South Point's (whom I have not had a good record with, and I'm an Apple Certified Alliance member), I'll start freuenting it more. Rumor says it has The Studio....
I am about 8 minutes away from Crabtee, this is going to rock!
Seems like there are a lot of mac users in NC... noticed this on forums,too
Hah, well the one at southpoint is closer for now, but since I'm moving to Raleigh soon, this is great! Wonder what kind of mad house it'll be...

Wilmington, that is. It makes sense: the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, the film/TV industry that is almost exclusively Mac. I know other states do not even have one store... But two Apple Stores less than an hour apart?
