Well, this was just too good to not put in a blog. This morning I had the opportunity to speak with Greg Packer, a native to Long Island, NY. He is officially the first person in line for the iPhone. Greg lined up at 5 a.m. EST on Monday, June 25th … that’s 4 1/2 days early. There has been much ridicule, obviously because this guy is giving up over 100 hours to stand in line for something he can eventually get in a 20 minute drive to the store … none the less, it is interesting.

Believe it or not, I found a post with his phone number, and decided to call him. After 2 rings a very tired sounding Packer answered “Hello”,

“Hello, is this Greg Packer?”
“Yes is it”
“Are you freaking kidding me? This is really your number?”
“It’s really me”
“Are you still in line?”
“Still in line… yup.. still in line”
“Man your phone number is all over the internet”
“….. huh…”
“Well good luck – hang in there”
“Thank you. thank you.”
“Take care”
“Alright. Take care”

So that was interesting… and kinda cool. Now you try it!
