Anyone crazy enough to venture out into the madness? I, for one, avoid it altogether, but I'm wondering what kind of deals people got.

Nope, didn't even think about it this year.

Find me EVERYWHERE:

I forgot it was Black Friday and went out for breakfast at a local diner around 9 o'clock ... big mistake. Place was a zoo! But I definitely didn't go shopping, mainly because most of the "great" deals I've seen in Black Friday ads are on cheap junk I wouldn't pay anything for. It seems like they only mark down leftover items they couldn't sell during the rest of the year.

Still, I'm interested in hearing about whether or not anyone actually found good deals, even if the unbridled, hysterical consumerism makes me a bit queasy.

Eh, went out to Guitar Center and used the 15% discount to get a Presonus Audiobox, and two KRK Rokit 5 G2 studio monitors. $500 with cables and all. Not much saving, haha.

I worked from 3:30am to 4:30pm.  Where I am, it's currently 7:13pm, I have no clue why I'm not asleep.

Every time I see something screech across the floor, and latch onto some guy's neck, and he screams and tries to pull it off, I have to laugh, because man, what is that thing?

I'm kind of kicking myself for not jumping on NHL 10 for $35 at BestBuy.com this morning. I caught it after it was sold out.
