Very nice pictures katie ta achoo. No doubt about your enthusiasm. It's very infective. Thank you for sharing your pictures with us. It was very nice of Apple letting you use there restroom. Were the feminine hygiene products free?

Completely FREE!
I love free stuff!
BECAUSE IT'S FREE!!


They also had free hard candy on the security desk.
Dum dums, and jolly ranchers... YUM!

They only let me take one. :(

I was sooo tempted by the dual 2.7 with the 30" display.. I was so close to just carrying it to the counter! :) :)

Just the sweatshirt. They also had some fleecy vests, but the apple logo was kind of.. muted.
Haha, I can totally imagine myself in an Apple jogging suit.. head-to-toe black nylon with one carefully placed logo. I'm such a loser! :p

Ooooooh...Apple Schwag!!!

Great buys, Katie. Great pics too. I'm trying to get my company to get me back out to Cali soon, so I can swing by the HQ and pick up some stuff myself.

BTW, my wife plans on sewing the buttons you so graciously gave me into my laptop bag, for all to see. Thanks again. :)

If you go to HQ, bring me back a Mac Mini! :) :)

I think my dad may have drunken a little of my kool-aid... he was getting into the whole mac thing :) :)

Visit the Bay Area! It's awesome! :D
 
I went too!

katie ta achoo, nice pictures. I wish I went inside the Apple store in Cupertino for all those goodies; I only got to see the campus itself, as it was Sunday. Oh well, maybe I'll be back in Cupertino next summer!

I'll add my own California trip pictures to this thread. I went to the Bay Area as well, for the Gay Pride and visited my college friend. Couldn't be better than it was--Apple, Intel, AMD, Stanford, oh my! I didn't take too many pictures; I couldn't be arsed to take all those pics, I had more important things to worry about like making sure I didn't overwhelm my college friend cuz I like to get around, a lot.

California Gallery

I'm not in any of those pictures. Of interest is the Sun HQ--it used to be Agnews' Mental Institute. I wonder if this is why Sun chose it? ;)

Great thread!

Just ended up here after following a link from the 'Vanity Plate' thread.

Total geek -- can't get enough of pics of places like Infinite Loop and the Google campus. Looks fantastic, and I'd absolutely love to visit someday. Shame the Icon Garden doesn't exist anymore (why'd ya kill the dogcow, Steve? WHY!!! *sob*)

I can't remember if I ever posted my London Apple Store opening pics to MR... I know it's almost a year late, but here they are! I've got some video clips somewhere too.. I'll upload them to my iDisk if anyone's interested (so long after the fact!)

Got myself an opening-day only 'AppleStore London' t-shirt. But I'd absolutely love, nay, adore... or dare I say it, kill for (sorry, too much) one of those I Visited the Mothership T's.

If anyone's in the vicinity of One Infinite Loop and happens to stock up on a few, ... I'll .... I'll.... er... mow your lawn for like, a year or something if I could bribe one from your grasp :)

Cool Apple gear too! I'll have to make sure to have plenty of extra cash to spend.

YES! make sure you have money... I somehow went through $98.

$98
on shirts and junk.

My dad was sooo close to getting a Mac Mini.
I failed! :(

but wouldn't that be a pretty cool story on it?
"here's my PB... free on tiger night. And this is my Mac Mini that I got from the Apple Company Store ON THE APPLE CAMPUS."

Oooooo I want one. :p
