After Apple

I went to the opening of the new store at The Domain in Austin recently. It’s the second one in Austin and the second opening I went to. Although, curiously, I had more access to the store as a non-employee than I did as an employee, which is kind of odd.

Which is to say that I was able to get in to the soft opening as a guest as well as arriving early enough to be one of the first to enter on the real opening day. It’s kind of worth it, this place is huge. The word going around the employees is that this is Apple’s largest 45’ store that’s not a flagship store, and when you see inside you realize how entirely plausible that is. It’s huge.

Here’s the opening video and a Flickr photoset of the better photos of the opening.
