I turn 34 years old this year and I gotta say I have never been so inspired to procure a collectors item before. My fiancée sent me that Target starter jacket ad and I wanted it SO BAD! I heard that stores were only going to get like 8 jackets each so I knew if I wanted a shot I was going to have to wait in line before the store opened. I felt like Ash when he had to send in all those postcards to get his hat
Well, I got up at 3:20 AM and was 6th in line. Luckily it was all genuine fans in line when I got there, no scalpers. Made waiting in the cold a little less shitty.
The store only had 4 jackets! One small, med, large, and XL. Doors opened and I walked as fast as I could and thankfully as soon as I saw them I managed to get my hands on the medium which was the size I needed. Don’t care how nerdy it makes me, it brings me immense joy to wear that jacket while I’m out Pokemon Go-ing.
Did anyone else get up at the ass crack of dawn for some good ol’ late stage capitalism?
