One Stockton Street
San Francisco, California 94108

Every Mac user that travels to Macworld and attends the Steve Jobs keynote is usually alone. They start arriving at 12AM and sit alone with iPod earphones in the cold and usually rainy climate just for a chance to sit a few hundred yards away as Steve delivers his keynote broadcast to the world.

I created the pre-keynote meetup in 2005 to help you and your boredom toward the event. Here’s the plan.

We all meet at 4AM at the Apple Store on Stockton St., have some conversation and snap some photos commemorating the event (cause nothing sucks more than saying you were at Macworld and you don’t have one photo of yourself). From there, we walk over to the keynote line at Moscone center and now you’ve met some interesting people to make the time in line a lot easier to handle. There might even be some coffee and doughnuts for you lucky guys.

Last year, http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/119837/ , we had over 30 individuals show up outside of the Apple Store at 4AM. After we each took some photos of this memorable event we walked down to the Moscone center and were probably 40th in line for the keynote.

Here’s the schedule
4AM: Apple Store @ Stockton St
4:30: Walk to Moscone to get in line and prepare for the Stevenote
5:30: I hope to have a ride to help me go get some doughnuts and coffee for the tired and shivering masses

Adam,

I can give you a ride to get donuts and coffee. This is going to be a fun time. :)

Hey! Thanks for the offer. I usually catch a cab. It's only about 5 blocks west to the 24/7 pastrie shop but the cold makes it a long walk.

Thanks again! I'll message you some details and we can iron them out.

GREAT idea. You don't know how many times I've had to wait it out "alone"...although I always make new friends in the line. I'll be there!

adamjackson1984

So awesome to have you with us! This year, I'd like to have 50 people in attendance. Everyone blog and help us get the word out!

samdownie

I'll be helping out Adam Jackson too ;)

The more people who come and meet up with us for the Pre-Keynote meet-up, the more fun u will have waiting in line and boredom won't set in!

So please join us... and also please blog about this pre-keynote event!

Thanks!

I'll probably meet you at 4:30am at Moscone...oh, and I'm usually late so 4:30am = 4:45am (ouch, that's painfully early).

I'll message you my mobile number so you can give us a call if you can't find the group.

Now this sounds great - or crazy - but I'm interested - if I'm not still too jet lagged to wake up this early :-D

Anyone coming from Oakland? I could drive, but parking is going to be like $30 for the day, and Bart won't get me there until almost 5am.
