I just got back from the other event he went to at Fox Hills Mall. Lemme tell you that first the security, crowd control people sucked. They did nothing to prevent people from cutting in line and pushing their way forward. Second, some OTHER radio station (not Power) decided to show up and throw crap into the crowd which made people get out of line. Then the madness, frustration, and tiredness set in. People started getting rowdy, accusing people of cutting, etc. When Kobe showed up, people who weren't in line rushed him and he made it into the store, but the people who were waiting for hours like me and the family in front of me got nothing. Not a shirt, not a wristband, nothing. The worst part is that they were hyping it up. Saying how if we stayed calm he'd stay longer. Kobe, however, showed up for 10 minutes and left. People were chanting his name, MVP, and then when he left, people started boo-ing. The crowd was definitely bad there. Some people were nice, like the family in front of us, but otherwise, everyone else were impolite and crap. It sucks how they handed out shirts to random people at the end of the line when people who've been waiting since 3 or 4 got nothing, or at least only a select few. Anyways, night ended up being alright since I got to see the Uptempo commercial with all the players, including Kobe. I still got my black/yellow shoes.
Moral of the story: patience. A little patience never hurt. The black/yellow will be all over as well as the red/white. The other colorways will release as well. Just be patient. Don't push, especially people.
