Dam it. I've been to Glasgow just a few days ago, but I didn't know about this. At least I got to visit one in Manchester and the two in London :D

We could use an Apple store in Ottawa.
Seriously.
A colleague at work's girlfriend has picked up a job there, so he's off to the special event on Friday night. Bah.
I'll be there on Saturday morning, though. My Flickr account will no doubt get updated on Saturday afternoon :-)
Christ, I commented on this at ifoAppleStore last week. Ok it has been deleted but who wouldn't trust a Scotsman?

This is not a flagship store so no Lucky Bag giveaways.
And for TUAW, Apple confirmed the opening on its website last week. http://www.apple.com/uk/retail/buchananstreet/week/20070819.html
I'm going to the one hour event thing on the friday night before it opens with a mate who got a job there (lucky swine), can't wait!
Everything will be so shiny -drool-
They're not doing the £250 give-away bags like they did in London, though. Drat.
