In this economic climate, things may get even crazier than normal, so be prepared!

I stole this wonderful List for the best Black friday sales (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?p=7918639#post7918639) from my friend. I love the Apple laptop and the sale price...I also create my Own Thanksgiving BlackFriday Deals List Here (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?p=7918639#post7918639)

u can check it, u will be suprised by the sale price.

Hehe.

Now show us..What are your Black Friday plans?

I'll be riding my bicycle as far from any retail venue as humanly possible.

I am taking Patentcad shopping.

I wish there were a flamethrower dealership near me. I'd buy one at 3am, then be at the major mall by 4am to use my new toy on people like the following:

I sure as hell am not shopping. It is supposed to be cold with flurries and I have my son. We will be lucky if we leave the house.

staying as far away from any of that as i possibly can. most likely spent riding my bike in the AM as long as it's not raining.

going to go to work and fart around the shop for a few hours (distended stomach gets in the way of turning wrenches).

leave work early and run by the comic book store (25% off everything and $5 trades!).

go to Critical Mass.

hit up a bar and drink.

go home.

+1...luckily there are no malls or big stores between me and Amish country.

Flying home, then maybe a bike ride. Definitely no shopping.

When Black Friday comes
I'm gonna dig myself a hole
Gonna lay down in it 'til I satisfy my soul...

I am going to wake up at 4am and bike.



^that is probably a lie.

What are your Black Friday plans?
Staying the hell away from any stores, that's for GD sure!

it is even scary on the roads with all the crazy deal stricken frantic drivers going from store to store. I will risk my life going through the wal mart parking lot friday.

If I do any shopping it's going to be bearings at the LBS, maybe some spokes but thats it.
otherwise I'm building up a bike, and lacing some wheels.
oh, yah and eat a turkey stuffing and gravy sandwich.

I have work to do, money to be made.

Working and marketing!

*perhaps* go shopping, if I get money by tomorrow.
Otherwise, I will probably get paid Friday and head to the bike shop to get new cranks. Or just stay in the warm house.

I'm going to ride my bike to the mall. Then I'm going to walk around the first few rows of the parking lot with my car keys in my hand, and time which driver will stalk me the longest for a non-existent parking spot.

Son will be home from college. Will throw the dogs in his bed to wake him up, make him coffee, and force him to go hiking or on a bike ride with me. He is going to school in the Midwest and misses the mountains.

Video, please! That would be hilarious!

:lol:

Ok, now I know what I'm gonna do on Friday!!!

Naw, jk. I'll probably be sleeping, as I've been running on fumes the last couple of weeks. I'll probably be more drained after Thursday too, when all the relatives are coming over to MY family's place for dinner. NO. Go away, silly relatives. I am in NO mood to entertain. I. Must. Get. Rest. *collapses*

sleep in....drinks at night!

That's 'Buy Nothing Day' (http://www.adbusters.org/campaigns/bnd) in my book

I'm driving for patentcad and jsharr.

I have to go pick up the front wheel for the 3Rensho I picked up yesterday, then swing by the local frame builder's shop to drop off some publications from NAHBS last year he wanted to look at. We're also going to work on the headset of my Serotta some. After that, head for home, avoid the stores, maybe head out for a ride.

I am volunteering at a tournament that day. And the next day. And the day after that.

Stay home and enjoy a day off of work for the first time in who knows how long.

My daughter's cheerleading competition is that morning. I will be listening thousands of people screaming in the Bobcat's Arena. I will make the best of it for my daughter. But in reality I would much rather spend my time in the rack slowly getting pulled apart like warm bread.

Kill some doves

sleeping. I used to work at circuit city, and it was nuts

I worked retial a few times after T-day in my younger days. I would rather be working that day than shopping in it. I worked in the rear-most department and saw it all from afar, and I loved seeing all the upset people who had the nerve to act surprised at the crowds.

That being said, i'm going to try and see Quantum of Solace.

Hmmm...a ride through Amish country. That could be interesting.

Playing in a local Ultimate (frisbee) tournament.

Work.

Going over to Mom's tonite and staying a couple days and cooking (just for ourselves - and she purchased a midget turkey - whopping 11 lbs :() on Thanksgiving and I just know that she'll be up at her usual 5:30 am on friday - and I'll finally walk downstairs to find her sitting there with her 6th cup of coffee and digesting all the ads/flyers from the newspaper ---- and I just KNOW she'll find something to go and buy on Friday. :( Otherwise - I wouldn't even ride by a grocery store parking lot.

Do bike shops normally run Black Friday specials? Some new winter gear would be nice.

Just as long as you're prepared to avoid the "Amish exhaust".

Spend the day in the man cave brewing beer, tinkering with bikes and power tools, and watching football.

The only retail store I have ever worked at was a grocery store. The day after Thanksgiving was probably the slowest day of the year. It was easy, but it made for a very long day.
