Same as Atomic, I myself wasn't too impressed with the organization of this event. All we did was wait in line in different stages throughout the store. The merchandising however looked exquisite and the displays were wonderful. I wasn't too impressed with the Shag bracelet when I first glimpsed it on Tiki Farms site but after seeing it in person, I had to have it. The piece is just "charming" and the packaging is marvelous.

As far as the Shag print, it looked great but it wasn't packaged very well. It's given to you rolled (not in a tube) but around red (?) tissue paper and then placed in a plastic bag. You sure as heck don't want that rolling around in your car loose on the drive home!

Rumor had it that the line to get in was wrapped around the building. Heaven forbid that someone would need to use the restroom.
All in all it was a fun time even though I didn't walk out of the store until 10pm and without half my merchandise because it would be mailed to me at a later date. Upon my exit I saw that there was still a line of people to the door. I felt so sorry for the people still standing in line because I knew at the rate the line was moving that they wouldn't get up to glimpse anything until midnight! It was frustrating to see the event so disorganzied however meeting new people and fellow TC'ers made it more bearable.

If I could sum the event up for those unable to attend....think of this event as the "Shag Disneyland event 2".
